The confusion involving Merab Dvalishvili and an alleged fan at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas during UFC 310 last Saturday (7) was not a random incident, but rather something orchestrated by a rival of the bantamweight champion (up to 61,2 kg). At least that is what the Georgian claims, accusing Umar Nurmagomedov , the next challenger to his belt, of being involved in the conflict.
Through a video posted on social media, Merab claimed that the instigator of the altercation was a training partner and friend of Umar Nurmagomedov , who allegedly provoked him specifically to cause this type of reaction.

Conspiracy or truth, the fact is that Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov will soon have the opportunity to settle their differences inside the octagon. The rivals will face each other in the co-main event of UFC 311 , on January 18th, in Los Angeles, United States, for the bantamweight title. In the main event, Islam Makhachev defends his lightweight title (up to 70,3 kg) in a rematch with Arman Tsarukyan.
