Michael Bisping, a revered former UFC middleweight champion who now serves as a prominent commentator and analyst, has leveled criticism against bantamweight contender Merab Dvalishvili, suggesting that the fighter shows insufficient respect for the sport.
Bisping elaborated on his concerns, stating that while Petr Yan is certainly Dvalishvili`s next opponent and represents a formidable challenge, Merab`s greatest adversary might ultimately be himself. Bisping highlighted Dvalishvili`s frequent fighting schedule, the intensity of his training camps, and his characteristic style of consistently taking fights to decision. He argued that these factors could eventually lead to burnout. Bisping concluded by reinforcing his belief that Dvalishvili “does not respect the sport and the challenges facing him,” implying a potential for self-sabotage due to his relentless approach.
