@mastershifu64ufc: *EVERYTHING IS FAKE AND AI⚠️* Former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili was attacked by Usman Nurmagomedov and his entourage in the lobby of the Yas Hilton hotel in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, November 11. Dvalishvili was conducting an interview ahead of his scheduled wrestling match at Real American Freestyle (RAF) Abu Dhabi when he was approached from behind.  Video footage of the incident shows Nurmagomedov slapping Dvalishvili across the face, sparking a brawl where Dvalishvili and his friend, 21-year-old wrestler Saba Lazishvili, were outnumbered. Dvalishvili was thrown to the ground, punched, and kicked, leaving him with a bloodied face, a cut to his head, and severe swelling around his left eye.  Following the brawl:  Bullet Police questioning: Both parties were reportedly detained and questioned by police in Abu Dhabi.  Bullet Match jeopardy: Dvalishvili is scheduled to face Marlon Moraes at the Etihad Arena on Saturday, November 14, but his injuries have put his participation in doubt.  Bullet Feud origins: The bad blood between the camps stems from January 2025, when Dvalishvili defeated Usman's older brother, Umar Nurmagomedov, to defend the UFC bantamweight title.  UFC featherweight champion and close friend Ilia Topuria publicly condemned the attack on social media, calling Nurmagomedov and his group "absolute cowards" and claiming they had been detained. Usman Nurmagomedov, a former PFL champion and highly sought-after free agent, is widely expected to sign with the UFC, which has led to speculation that this incident could set up a future rivalry in the promotion. #merabdvalishvili #usmannurmagomedov #UFC #edit #fyp
