Merab Dvalishvili doesn’t think Umar Nurmagomedov deserves to be in the UFC bantamweight title picture just yet.
Nurmagomedov (17-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) called for his previously scrapped booking with Cory Sandhagen to be rescheduled after defeating newcomer Bekzat Almakhan at UFC Fight Night 238 earlier this month.
Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC), who’s a riding a 10-fight winning streak, would have rather seen Nurmagomedov climb the ladder like he had to. He thinks it’s way too early for Nurmagomedov to be in those title conversations.
