Dvalishvili: “How can you call Nurmagomedov the best?”

“How can we say that he is the best fighter in the division if he only has four fights in the UFC? In this sport, everything is possible: remember Islam Makhachev, who fought with an unrated fighter and lost by knockout. You have to fight, you have to earn everything with your performances. If I had been given the chance to fight TJ Dillashaw five years ago, I might have beaten him. But no one gave me such a chance, because I didn’t deserve it.

Yes, he is good, but he was in too much of a hurry. Come on buddy, start fighting all the time, show some respect. Imagine someone with four fights in the UFC calling Islam Makhachev, for example. This is unthinkable,” Dvalishvili told reporters ahead of UFC 298.
