Top UFC bantamweight Merab Dvalishvili confirmed that he has no desire to share the octagon with his fellow defending division champion Aljamain Sterling.
Earlier, the head of the promotion, Dana White, expressed dissatisfaction with this position of the Georgian, calling it a "bad idea."
“I understand how White's business works. He wants me to fight my friend because it will be good for business. But what kind of friend will I be then? No problem, everyone has their own view on it. But I make the choice myself, this is our friendship. Of course, I still stick to the choice not to fight Sterling, ”Dvalishvili was quoted as saying by InsideFighting.
