Umar Nurmagomedov says Merab Dvalishvili has been trying to avoid fighting him, even prior to Saturday’s UFC 311 .

Umar Nurmagomedov says Merab Dvalishvili is far too sensitive and he doesn’t get to police whatever is said in the leadup to their fight at UFC 311

Khabib Nurmagomedov has given his breakdown as to why he thinks Umar Nurmagomedov will beat Merab Dvalishvili.

Dressed in an all-burgundy suit with a matching vest underneath, bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili walked into a hotel ballroom for UFC 311 media day with unusual low energy, and that's probably because he had a lot on his mind.

Merab Dvalishvili is set to enter the UFC octagon later this weekend against Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 which will mark his first title defense after winning it against Sean O’Malley at UFC 306 last year.
