Merab Dvalishvili responds to Sean O’Malley’s comments and criticizes him for suggesting that Henry Cejudo is fighting for money. Dvalishvili asserts that Cejudo is fighting for legacy citing his achievements including an Olympic gold medal and two-division UFC champion titles.

Dvalishvili acknowledges the importance of their upcoming fight, recognizing that a win would propel Cejudo into a title shot while a loss could potentially lead to retirement. Despite Cejudo mentioning retirement, Dvalishvili sees it as a sign of his commitment to chasing championships not just financial gain.

He anticipates a strong and focused Cejudo in their bout at UFC 298.
