Quick read

Merab Dvalishvili revealed he was offered a fight against Arman Tsarukyan at the recent RAF 08 event in Philadelphia but declined. Dvalishvili explained the matchup did not make sense because Tsarukyan competes two weight classes above him. The bantamweight champion stated he was glad he refused after witnessing Tsarukyan's behavior towards Urijah Faber at the event. Merab expressed disappointment with how Arman threw Faber outside the cage area, calling it unnecessary despite respecting Tsarukyan's abilities as a fighter.
