LAS VEGAS – Merab Dvalishvili’s stance on Umar Nurmagomedov remains the same.
Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) claimed the bantamweight title with a dominant decision over Sean O’Malley in Saturday’s UFC 306 main event at Sphere in Las Vegas.
Nurmagomedov was in attendance for the fight, and was waiting for Dvalishvili to call his name in his post-fight octagon interview, but to no avail. Dvalishvili was later asked who he’d like to face next and he doubled down on wanting Deiveson Figueiredo (24-3-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC).
