UFC 311 video: Merab Dvalishvili, Umar Nurmagomedov exchange words at final faceoff

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov won’t have to wait much longer to put hands on each other after the conclusion of Friday’s UFC 311 ceremonial weigh-ins.

UFC CEO Dana White kept a close watch as Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) and Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC) exchanged words during their final faceoff for the anticipated bantamweight championship showdown, which takes place Saturday at Intuit Dome (ESPN+ pay-per-view, ESPNews, ESPN+).

After claiming the belt from Sean O’Malley at UFC 306 in September, Dvalishvili will attempt to make his first title defense on the power of an 11-fight winning streak inside the octagon.
