UFC featherweight Aljamain Sterling expresses concern that his friend Merab Dvalishvili is being rushed into a title defense against Umar Nurmagomedov too soon.
Sterling emphasizes that while challengers may accept short notice fights, champions should not be subjected to such conditions after working hard to earn their titles.
He acknowledges the UFC’s power in fight scheduling but emphasizes the importance for fighters to have the autonomy to accept or decline fights.
Ultimately, Sterling is hopeful that Dvalishvili will perform well and move forward positively in his career, despite the challenges surrounding the timing of the fight.
