Dvalishvili explained why Umar Nurmagomedov is being led to the UFC

Merab Dvalishvili, a contender for the UFC lightweight championship belt, has spoken out about Umar Nurmagomedov.

"Umar is the big test right now. I know the UFC is leading him on and he doesn't deserve it.... But he's a good fighter, even though he hasn't beaten anybody. He's No. 10 and he's fighting second. If he wins, he'll be No. 3 or No. 2 ... He's being driven and we all know why. Because he's Khabib's brother. Aljamain Sterling earned his spot, I earned my spot. The same goes for Corey Sandhagen. And Sean O'Malley and Umar are being led," Dvalishvili told YouTube channel heavywgt MMA.
