Usman Nurmagomedov, youthful brother of Umar Nurmagomedov and cousin of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev has discovered himself in controversy as soon as extra, this time with former bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili. Nurmagomedov, a free agent propped for a UFC future might have jeopardized his alternative.
Whereas conducting an interview in a resort foyer for RAF Wrestling, Usman approaches Merab from behind, startling the Georgian with a slap, resulting in a multi-person brawl involving a pack of dagestanis towards Merab and his wrestler buddy, Saba Lazishvili, who has now gained a big following as a consequence of his success within the brawl. The 2 Georgians had been left bruised and bloodied with Merab on social media calling them “snakes and cowards”
Police are actually concerned with the matter, although Usman Nurmagomedov might have larger fish to fry relating to his UFC singing, rumoured to be introduced throughout this weekend’s MSG Card. The storyline stemmed from earlier altercations with Merab and considered one of Umar’s buddies, the place he merely slapped him throughout a one on one encounter. This was after Merab’s combat with Umar, who had a ton of unhealthy blood within the construct up.
UFC Welterweight Champion, Islam Makhachev tried to defend his cousin by stating that Merab’s actions result in this, although a big majority of UFC followers and fighters have identified the cowardly act of attacking in a pack, towards two smaller fighters. Ambushing with a slap can be fairly totally different from standing head to head with somebody after which slapping them.
Clearly, there may be an ongoing police investigation on the matter which may end in authorized penalties. Furthermore, Usman has a historical past of hassle with the police in his fatherland and even raiding the Octagon following his brother’s vicious knockout loss, which nearly resulted in a brawl in what manny glossed over as concord and affection.
Usman is undoubtedly probably the most proficient free agent and now there’s a storyline being developed as Ilia Topuria voiced his opinion on the matter. Dana White and the UFC may very well be seeing that rivalry turning into a great combat sooner or later between each. For my part, I don’t suppose the UFC will sway away from signing Usman, although there may very well be some penalties sooner or later if something minor does happen. After all, we now wait to see what are the legal repercussions of this complete incident.
