Daniel Cormier, former UFC champion in two weight classes and now a commentator and analyst, stated that he does not consider Merab Dvalishvili an American champion.

“I do not recognize him as an American. When Merab comes here with an American accent, then I will recognize him. If he looks like a Georgian and sounds like a Georgian — he is Georgian,” said the American in the studio after the weigh-in of the UFC 320 tournament participants.
