Romanian UFC fighter Diana Belbita urges fans to give Andrew Tate a break (Exclusive)

Romanian fighter Diana Belbita believes that controversial social media sensation Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are not the villains people make them out to be.

In a recent exclusive interview with Sportskeeda MMA, the UFC strawweight claimed that she only has good things to say about the Tate brothers. Belbita has known the controversial celebrities for a long time through a mutual friend.

The 'Warrior Princess' added that the Tates were always nice to her and people should just mind their own business and lay off them for a while:

"I've known the Tate brothers for [a] long time because we have a common friend. Sebastian was my manager and I fought in his league and the Tate Brothers even commentated [on] one of my fights... They were always nice to me... I don't have something bad to say about them."

Diana Belbita added:

"I don't follow them much on social media, so I don't know what they are doing, but from what I know and I know them personally and they are okay, they are nice... People should focus on something else. Leave them alone... If they did something wrong, they'll pay for that... Give them a break, they are not that bad, how people think they are."

Diana Belbita talks about a possible Valentina Shevchenko vs. Zhang Weili super fight

During the same interview, Diana Belbita gave her take on a potential Valentina Shevchenko vs. Zhang Weili super fight.

According to the 'Warrior Princess,' although Shevchenko and Weili are two of the best fighters in the world, the size difference might play in favor of the women's flyweight queen.

Furthermore, she suggested that the upcoming UFC 284 headliner between featherweight champion Alexander Volkanovski and lightweight kingpin Islam Makhachev will provide credible feedback about how size differences affect fights:

"I think Weili is still like small, Like, I really want to see what happens in the fight [between] [ Alexander] Volkanovski vs Islam Makhachev, and then we can think about Valentina vs. Weili because it's kind of the same story. Valentina is a lot bigger than Weili. Come on, we are talking about two of the best fighters in the world. Everything can happen in that fight. I'm not saying Weili doesn't have a chance."

While the women's strawweight champion Weili is yet to have her next fight scheduled, 'Bullet' will next be seen against Alexa Grasso at UFC 285.
