"UFC 292: Stolen Jacket, Embedded Vlog, Disrespectful Bout Order, Verbal Blows, and Press Conference Staredowns"

Merab Dvalishvili stole the spotlight at the UFC 292 pre-fight press conference by wearing the same red leather jacket he took from Sean O'Malley in May. O'Malley claimed that Dvalishvili is only known because of the jacket incident, while Aljamain Sterling applauded his teammate. Despite the controversy, Dvalishvili's dominant performance against Petr Yan has put him in line for a potential title shot if Sterling leaves the division after his fight with O'Malley.
