Mike Perry Slams ‘Childish’ Dana White for Past Criticism of Merab Dvalishvili

Ultimate Fighting Championship veteran Mike Perry recently went on a rant over Dana White’s stance regarding Merab Dvalishvili’s reluctance to fight his friend, Aljamain Sterling.

Dvalishvili picked up a unanimous decision win over former UFC two-division champion Henry Cejudo at UFC 298 earlier this month, to extend his winning streak to 10. During his post-fight press conference appearance, White praised Dvalishvili for his performance, even confirming that the Georgian earned a title shot with his win over Cejudo.

White had previously criticized “The Machine” for avoiding a title fight during the reign of his close friend and teammate Sterling. Perry, who one of the biggest stars in bare-knuckle boxing, trashed the UFC frontman for publicly criticizing Dvalishvili’s decision to not fight his friend.

“I heard Dana be like, ‘Yeah, ‘cause [Merab Dvalishvili] wouldn’t fight his friend, you know how much we f—ing love that here,” Perry said on his Overdogs Podcast.

“They f—king pick and choose whoever the f—k they want, whenever the f—k they want. They do whatever the f—k they want, and no one can tell them anything about it. That’s where it’s f—king annoying and I lose interest.

“They’re still f—king rude, disrespectful a—holes, who don’t give a f—k about these fighters or anyone who puts their life on the line to do this s—t. It’s f—king childish. How the richest f—king guy, most popular, most famous f—king guy of all time is childish. ‘Cause the NFL owners and s—t, they would never say any of this f—king s—t about any of their players.”
