Dvalishvili reveals he declined Tsarukyan fight at RAF 8 in Philadelphia

Merab Dvalishvili disclosed that he was offered a fight against Arman Tsarukyan at RAF 8 in Philadelphia but ultimately declined. Dvalishvili explained that the matchup didn't make sense because Tsarukyan competes two weight classes above him. He also stated he was thankful for his decision after witnessing what Tsarukyan did to Urijah Faber at the event. Dvalishvili criticized Tsarukyan's actions, specifically the unnecessary throwing of Faber outside the mats, expressing disappointment despite respecting Tsarukyan as a fighter and his contributions to the sport.
