Nurmagomedov Critiques Dvalishvili After Wrestling Event Incident
Umar Nurmagomedov raised questions about Merab Dvalishvili's character after an incident at a wrestling event in Georgia, where Dvalishvili slapped a friend of Nurmagomedov's.
The altercation took place during Real American Freestyle's inaugural event, where Dvalishvili was present to grapple Henry Cejudo. Nurmagomedov's friend, Ahmad, approached Dvalishvili to inquire about a potential match with Umar, but Dvalishvili declined and referred to Umar as a spoiled individual, leading to a physical confrontation that required security intervention.
In an interview, Nurmagomedov compared the situation to a hypothetical scenario in Dagestan, questioning how one could behave in such a manner. He emphasized that Ahmad did not disrespect Dvalishvili during their exchange. Nurmagomedov also noted that he has moved on from their rivalry and is concentrating on his upcoming fight against Song Yadong at UFC Shanghai on August 29.
