Merab Dvalishvili Explains Interaction with Tim Welch, Kissing Incident at Noche UFC
Briefly

I'm a professional fighter... Tim's voice was very familiar because he was doing the same thing to Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292. He was doing already, disrespectful, 'Merab, you've got to go.' I told him, 'Stop it.' Nobody was telling him to stop. If you do the same thing in basketball or soccer, they will do disqualification for you. But here, not. I told referee, 'I'm sorry.' ... I said I'm sorry and after I guess he stopped it.
I grabbed his neck and he had 10 seconds left. I know he can wait and he's not going to sleep or tap [to] this. I want to make just little fun of him... I had too much fun there and I guess I looked at time control. But when I let go, he followed me and punched me in the back of my head.
