Dvalishvili: "Umar Nurmagomedov was among the title contenders only because of his last name"

Dmitriy Kel Sept. 9, 2024, 2:58 a.m.

Top UFC lightweight division fighter Merab Dvalishvili expressed confidence that Umar Nurmagomedov was undeservedly among the main contenders for the belt.

"Umar is a good fighter, we all know that. But he hasn't fought anyone in the top 15, and then the UFC gives him a gift in the form of the No. 2 ranked fighter, Corey Sandhagen. He beat him and now he's disrespecting him. He challenged Sean O'Malley to a fight, he challenged me to a fight. Dude, show us some respect, let us fight in peace. What the fuck? You did not fight with anyone, and now you are here [among the possible title challengers] only because your last name is Nurmagomedov, because you are Khabib's third cousin," - quotes Dvalishvili MMA Fighting.

Dvalishvili will face champion Sean O'Malley on the night of September 15 at UFC 306 in Las Vegas, USA.
