Merab Dvalishvili Faces an Ultimatum From Khabib’s Cousin Umar Nurmagomedov on UFC 311 Battle

Merab Dvalishvili shouldn’t be a fan with regards to Umar Nurmagomedov. And it’s secure to say that feeling is mutual. In any case, the reigning bantamweight champ feels that the Dagestani received particular remedy from the UFC due to his final title, which he shares together with his iconic cousin, Khabib. Umar, after all, is ready to face ‘The Machine’ at UFC 311 on January 18. And that, after all, doesn’t sit effectively with the champ.

Their animosity was nowhere extra obvious than on the kick-off press convention for his or her January 2025 conflict. There, Merab referred to as Umar all kinds of names, saying he doesn’t respect the Dagestani as a person, chewing Umar out for disrespecting him, and reiterating that the challenger isn’t worthy of a title shot. Whereas Umar was way more respectful on the presser, he was fairly upset and received a number of issues off his chest about that notorious press convention in an interview with ‘Ushtayaka’ on YouTube.

“He swears, says one thing, calls me names… I’m telling you actually: he gained’t say all this to my face, one on one. The place there shall be nobody, the place we’ll stick with him, the place it will likely be essential to say what he desires, these insults, he is not going to say this. However while you say all this, when there’s safety between us, – any individual can do that. Girls do that too! A lady insults too. She is aware of that she can’t be hit, that she has some… A lady at all times acts from a place of weak point. To say one thing,” Umar mentioned in his native Russian.

In fact, some would ask Umar why he didn’t say all of this to the Georgian’s face when he had the possibility. To not point out Merab has confirmed many times that he isn’t the sort to take disrespect flippantly, even preventing with followers in the event that they insult him. After primarily calling Merab a coward, the Dagestani then moved on to really responding to what Merab mentioned on the press convention.

“He tells me that I have to be a person. “You aren’t a person!” Analyze your habits like a traditional individual. You say that the belt shouldn’t be necessary to you, cash shouldn’t be necessary, the struggle shouldn’t be necessary, and also you assume that an individual ought to be worthy. Okay. However after that, you say that you’ll take care of me after the struggle. For what? So it’s necessary to you? If the struggle shouldn’t be necessary to you, then I’m right here. And if I mentioned one thing offensive, then go and ask. If you are able to do one thing. I’m open to dialog,” Umar added. However the Dagestani wasn’t carried out and felt the issue simply got here right down to him and the Georgian being very various kinds of individuals, with completely different targets.

Umar Nurmagomedov offers a blunt verdict on Merab Dvalishvili

Umar claimed that he isn’t prepared to stoop to the degrees Merab allegedly does to hype up their matchup. ‘The Machine’, after all, likes to have some enjoyable together with his opponents. He not too long ago posted a photoshopped pic of Umar, which implied the Dagestani was his errand boy.

Alongside, after all, with Merab’s fixed excoriation of the challenger each likelihood he will get. However Umar is targeted on preventing and isn’t one to interact in shenanigans, which the undefeated bantamweight feels units him other than Dvalishvili. Even when the champ’s targets might actually appear the very same as Umar’s.

“I attempt to not deal with this nonsense that he says. It occurs that he does some photoshops. He desires to be humorous. I don’t need to be humorous. This place doesn’t go well with me. I don’t need to make individuals chuckle and I need to struggle, carry out, earn my cash, and create a legacy for myself, my crew, for my household. I’ve a distinct objective. Not those who, in my view, Merab pursues,” Umar concluded. What do you concentrate on Umar’s scathing feedback at Merab Dvalishvili?
