Islam
Makhachev claims Merab
Dvalishvili started the feud that led to his recent altercation
with Usman
Nurmagomedov.

Makhachev’s teammate attacked Dvalishvili at a fighter hotel in Abu
Dhabi. Nurmagomedov had a full entourage, while Dvalishvili was
outnumbered, with only one friend by his side. Dvalishvili
sustained cuts and bruises ahead of his match on Real American
Freestyle against Marlon
Moraes, but Makhachev claims the Georgian had it coming.

Islam Makhachev says Merab Dvalishvili started feud behind Abu
Dhabi attack

Makhachev notes that Dvalishvili had attacked a friend of theirs, a
Dagestani fighter, Akhmed Gadzhimagomedov, at RAF Georgia in
July.

“To those who are now condemning Usman and the guys, why did you
remain silent when Merab inexplicably struck a Dagestani wrestler
and insulted his honor?” Makhachev wrote on Instagram stories. “The
man approached him to talk without any malicious intent. What
happened today Merab started in his homeland by allowing himself to
hit a guest and insulted his mother.”

Dvalishvili’s feud with the Dagestani squad stems from his rivalry
with Usman’s brother, Umar
Nurmagomedov. Dvalishvili repeatedly accused Umar of receiving
privileges for being Khabib
Nurmagomedov’s cousin.

While Dvalishvili was initially unwilling to put his
Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight title on the line
against Umar, he successfully defended it against the previously
undefeated Dagestani last year. Umar’s friend Gadzhimagomedov
approached Dvalishvili at RAF Georgia and told him to stop
badmouthing Umar when he wasn’t even present at the event.
Dvalishvili then slapped Gadzhimagomedov, leading to a brawl.
