Nurmagomedov wants to fight Dvalishvili in January

UFC lightweight division unbeaten prospect Umar Nurmagomedov said he would like to fight champion Merab Dvalishvili at January's UFC 311 event.

"Hey Merab, you know Ramadan is in March and you still insist on fighting this month. There's a numbered tournament in Australia in February and they won't put our fight there. There's a tournament in Los Angeles in January - let's fight there. You'll have plenty of time to prepare. Stop looking for excuses. Give the people what they want. Everyone who follows our weight wants to see this fight," Umar wrote on social networks.

Recall that in early August, Nurmagomedov won on points against Corey Sandhagen.
