The titleholders who’re set to compete at UFC 311 will probably be rocking some customized battle shorts.
UFC 311 takes place Saturday at Intuit Dome in Inglewood, Calif. and is headlined by a light-weight title battle between champion Islam Makhachev and challenger Arman Tsarukyan. The co-main occasion options bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili towards Umar Nurmagomedov.
Tuesday, the promotion revealed customized shorts for the 2 champions.
Makhachev (26-1 MMA, 15-1 UFC) will sport a reasonably minimalist design towards (22-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC). A sample of mountains on the lower-half of the shorts is a nod to his native area of Dagestan, Russia.
One battle earlier on the cardboard, Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) will get a theme that pays respect to his native nation of Georgia. With a flag-like sample and a few Georgian writing on the leg, there will probably be no query what nation Dvalishvili is representing towards Russia’s Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC).
