Dana White's Surprising Reaction to Merab Dvalishvili Kissing Sean O'Malley at UFC 306

Dana White, the President of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), has given his candid reaction to an unexpected moment between Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O'Malley during the Noche UFC 306 post-fight press conference. The incident, which has become a talking point among MMA enthusiasts, featured Dvalishvili kissing O'Malley, adding to the night's drama.

The main event began with an unusual exchange as Merab Dvalishvili and Al's Corner were seen shouting at each other. This prompted intervention from referee Herb Dean, who asked them to cease their bickering. The situation took a more bizarre turn backstage with Dvalishvili kissing O'Malley before walking away, leaving many, including White, puzzled. "It was weird but not shocking," White commented, adding that Dvalishvili's overall performance met expectations.

When asked about Sean O'Malley's performance, White expressed some disappointment. Despite a strong finish in the last round with effective body kicks, O'Malley seemed off his game for much of the fight. "He didn't look sharp, he didn't look crisp," White noted, mentioning that O'Malley only showed his true potential towards the end of the bout.

With high expectations set for O'Malley, who was the star of the card, White speculated that the pressure might have impacted his performance. "You'd have to ask him that," White said when questioned about the reason behind O'Malley's lackluster showing. He added, "Some nights, it just is what it is," acknowledging that even top fighters can have off nights.

The surprising kiss between Dvalishvili and O'Malley and the subsequent reactions have added an intriguing twist to the event. For a more detailed look at Dana White's reaction and insights, watch the full video on MMAWeekly’s YouTube channel.
