Merab Dvalishvili, former UFC bantamweight champion, stated that the current champion of this division, Petr Yan, will not fight in the White House.

“I was told by the UFC that I will be the next to fight for the title. They said that we will have a trilogy with Petr. And they also said that our fight will not take place on Donald Trump's birthday in June because Petr is from Russia, and it’s impossible. They won't allow him to fight in the White House,” said Dvalishvili.
