Nurmagomedov: "Dvalishvili can beat me"

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 2, 2025, 4:11 a.m.

Undefeated UFC lightweight prospect Umar Nurmagomedov admits he could lose to current division champion Merab Dvalishvili in their upcoming fight.

"I know: he's going to try to overpower me and I'm going to try to smear him. It's going to be a battle. I just know that Merab doesn't want to take any risky fights. Yes, he can beat me. It could happen. But it won't break me - I'll still be the same Umar. A fight is a fight, everyone can win and lose," Nurmagomedov told ESPN.

Recall that Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov will fight on January 18 at UFC 311 in Los Angeles, USA.
