Merab Dvalishvili comes to the defense of Henry Cejudo about EyeControverse
Since that controversial end of UFC Seattle, a whole series of hunters has emerged in defense of Cejudo – including one of his former enemies, 135 pounds Merab Dvalishvili champion.
In a video that was shared on his Instagram page, Dvalishvili described the situation as “unhappy” before he focused on Song Yadong about him who fights with vast fingers.
“I know it is a shame that he has made an eye, you know, he said he could not see, and I understand people.
'I mean, I don't understand why people are fighting like that [with outstretched fingers] – If you fight, you have to make a fist. “
Dvalishvili defeated Cejudo in February 2024 and claimed the UFC Bantamweight title only a few months later – Dana White recently hinted in the next title defense of Dvalishvili will be a rematch against Sean O'Malley.
“I know the UFC gloves are B – but you still have to do this [makes fist]”The Georgian demolition ball concluded and did not add any uncertain terms:” So why fight like that, it's B——! “

Dvalishvili is certainly not the only UFC hunter who comes to the defense of Henry Cejudo, with a series of former opponents, champions and well -known names that support 'Triple C' about the UFC Seattle controversy.
Veteran Jim Miller went to X to say that “if only people could control their fingers, these accidents would not continue to happen” in the UFC Octagon.

Aljamain Sterling compared the criticism of Cejudo with those who accused him of falsifying an injury to Petr Yan, writing “Think of boys, he does it forgetting”, followed by a face-palm emoji.
Sterling would also be focused on the UFC gloves: “Those stupid plain gloves do not curve! Idk why it takes so long to turn it into something better. “

“Henry knew he had nothing left for songs,” said Sean O'Malley's head coach Tim Welch on X, with former enemy Demetrious Johnson who called for Cejudo to stop – this time forever.
“Would I like to see Henry Cejudo retired? Yes, I think so. He has defeated me, flight weight champion, defended the belt, Bantamweight champion … That is more than half of the M – F – – on the Roster will ever do it.
'[The] Man almost blind … He has a great podcast with Kamaru Usman, two beautiful children, beautiful woman, companies, there is no reason to fight and to continue to risk his health. “
