UFC welterweight champion Islam Makhachev stood up for Usman Nurmagomedov after his fight with Georgian Merab Dvalishvili in Abu Dhabi. As Makhachev wrote on Instagram (owned by Meta, the company is recognized as extremist and banned in Russia), this happened because of the actions of a Georgian who insulted another Dagestani fighter in Tbilisi this summer.
Dvalishvili on November 11 reported that Nurmagomedov and friends attacked him in the lobby of a hotel in Abu Dhabi, while he was interviewed before the tournament wrestling league RAF. In a video shared by another MMA fighter, Ilia Topuria, on the social network X, Nurmagomedov can be seen approaching Dvalishvili, slapping him, after which a mass brawl began.
TASS, citing a source and journalist Ariel Helwani in the social network X write that all participants in the fight were taken to the police station.
“Those who are now condemning Uthman and the boys are writing insults against them. Why did you keep silent when Merab hit a Dagestani fighter for nothing and hurt his honor? “What happened today, Merab began in his homeland, allowing himself to hit the guest and hurt his mother,” Makhachev wrote.
In July, Dvalishvili before the RAF tournament in Tbilisi hit the winner of the world championship in freestyle wrestling Ahmed Hajimagomedov, who asked why the Georgian at a press conference allowed himself to say about Umar Nurmagomedov: “To hell with this guy.” Then there was a fight.
