Usman called Nurmagomedov the most favorable opponent for Dvalishvili

Kamaru Usman, former UFC welterweight champion, addressed Merab Dvalishvili ahead of his fight against Sean O'Malley.

"If by the grace of God you, Merab, become champion, you have to realize that as champion, you have to use your position and this belt to make as much money as possible in the meantime. At some point the belt will change hands anyway, so you have to squeeze as much out of yourself as possible, and in that sense a fight with Umar Nurmagomedov is a better proposition than a fight with Deiveson Figueredo, although the latter is still a big name."
