UFC lightweight champion Merab Dvalishvili has revealed when he will be ready to fight Umar Nurmagomedov.
"Yes, the UFC offered me a fight with Umar in December. I replied that I would be ready for him in February or March. That's it. Now Umar will fight again. I won't fight in January because it will be New Year's Eve and Christmas. I will need some time. February and March will suit me, I'll go from there. I would like to have three fights in 2025. I have no problem fighting Umar in my next fight. Whoever is in front of me, I'm ready. I have never picked my opponents and I will continue to do so," BJ Penn quoted Merab as saying.
