Even though UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili received all the attention, his teammate and friend, Dennis Buzukja, was the one throwing punches with a fan at UFC 310.
The incident happened after Aljamain Sterling’s unanimous decision loss to Movsar Evloev at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Devalishvili and Buzukja were in Sterling’s corner and afterward, as they walked back to the locker room, an altercation broke out between Dvalishvili and the fan. Original cell phone video showed Dvalishvili being restrained by a security guard and Buzukja approaching the man and exchanging punches before he, too, was restrained.
