UFC flyweight champion Merab Dvalishvili commented on his win over Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 in Los Angeles, USA.

The Georgian defeated the Dagestani by unanimous decision.

Umar is a tough fighter, but he's good. He called me old, yeah I'm old, but I plow through every day and I'm an old school man. I believe in the old school. Don't let anybody bully you and underestimate you. The whole world was against me, but I don't care, I believed in myself and did hard work," Dvalishvili stated.
