Dana White just made some comments how dumb Dvalishvili was for doing some stuff for his IG, risking injury. I mean I get that Dvalishvili was just having fun but doing risky sht a couple of weeks before the event will surely make the UFC furious as they're banking on the guy. Cheesy

Funny dynamic between Dana and Dvalishvili tho.

It could be it. That's probably nothing as irritating to organisers as last-minute pull-outs, so I have no trouble imagine Dana White being pissed off about that.

Yeah.. What he doesn't like is the shenanigans behind the scenes like what Mokaev did, taking to the PFL behind the UFC's back while negotiating with the UFC. Then there's other sht like what Tsarukyan did when he didn't inform the UFC early that he had a back injury only to find out that he couldn't fight in the main event an hour before the match. Lol. I think even Jones is also out of favor. There was a post fight press conference that Dana showed respect for Jones but when asked about the White House event, he said that he couldn't trust Jones to be the main draw for that event.
