Dvalishvili spoke out against Nurmagomedov's fight with Sandhagen

Merab Dvalishvili, a top fighter in the UFC's lightweight division, spoke out against Umar Nurmagomedov fighting Corey Sandhagen.

"Why is Umar fighting Sandhagen? Why isn't he fighting Bautista or anyone else? Umar hasn't fought anyone in the top 15 and Sandhagen has been in the top 10 for a long time. Umar is good, but he should fight someone else. No one has given me that chance. If you ask me, Sandhagen already deserves a title fight and should fight the winner of the fight between me and O'Malley. There's also Peter Yan who can get another win and get a title fight. And Umar has to fight more, compete against serious opponents. He just beat a debutant, and in his first three fights in the UFC he didn't fight the toughest opponents - I'm not even sure they're still in the UFC."
