The UFC bantamweight champion, **Merab Dvalishvili**, after his victory over former champion **Sean O’Malley** at UFC 316 in Newark, USA, announced that he plans to give half of his bonus from the fight to his friend, former UFC champion **Aljamain Sterling**, as a wedding gift.

“I’m really grateful to my friend Aljamain Sterling. I told him today that I want to share my bonus and give him half of it. Let’s go, brother. This will be my wedding gift for you, you know. Although I’ve never been one to pick up the tab for your gifts. You’re a man—thank you, brother!” Dvalishvili stated during the press conference.

It’s worth mentioning that Sterling has been in a long-term relationship with his girlfriend, and they have children together, but they are not officially engaged.
