UFC flyweight champion Merab Dvalishvili explained why he dislikes his next opponent Umar Nurmagomedov.

"We went out with him about a year ago and we had a conversation - I was very respectful to him, talking to him in a friendly way, and he told me that I was old, that it was his time and it was time for me to leave. I replied, 'What are you talking about, bro? I'm an age fighter, but I've got experience'. It was disrespectful of him to say those things to me, so I want to show him that there are levels in this game. And I want to prove it to everyone who doubts me, as well as Umar's fans who have been disrespectful to me all this time and attacked my social media by insulting and posting pictures of him."
