ABU DHABI – Think Merab Dvalishvili is getting tired already of this Umar Nurmagomedov storyline?
Just a couple days after he told MMA Junkie there was method to his madness behind the idea that he could rematch former champ Sean O'Malley next month, but not Nurmagomedov a month later, a fan put him on blast at a Q&A session ahead of Friday’s UFC 308 ceremonial weigh-ins in Abu Dhabi.
The fan wanted to know if new bantamweight titleholder Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC), who dominated O’Malley (18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) at UFC 306 in September in September is ducking Nurmagomedov (18-0 MMA, 6-0 UFC).
