Merab Dvalishvili is pushing again towards studies that he attacked a random fan out of nowhere at UFC 310.
Sure, the UFC bantamweight champion did certainly get into an altercation with somebody within the stands on the UFC’s last pay-per-view of the yr. And sure, it was the most recent in a string of incidents the place Merab has fought or almost fought non-fighters at occasions. However in keeping with “The Machine,” this was no random fan.
“The person who grabbed Merab’s arm bodily and insulted him is not only a fan, however a teammate and pal of Umar [Nurmagomedov] and Dagestanis,” a video posted by Dvalishvili declared. “You’ll be able to see Merab strolling his pal Aljo when man grabs his arm and begins insulting him with telephone in hand. Seems he is not only fan from Kazakhstan however a provoker. And as Merab mentioned, he was insulting him.”
“Later that day Umar posts tales with the man and his squad,” the voice continues as a real crime soundtrack drones within the background. “And there may be much more photos from years in the past with him and Dagestanis. Media says Merab bought into it with a fan, and the man himself mentioned Merab mentioned one thing about Shavkat whereas Kazakhstan media promoted it like Merab disrespected Shavkat. And the man is hero.”
“However clearly this isn’t coincidence. Merab is nice with Shavkat and all this occurred in 15 seconds. This was simply Dagestani soiled tips and provocation.”
When speaking concerning the incident following UFC 310, Dana White mentioned loads of fighters continuously consider there’s a conspiracy afoot to dethrone them. We thought that was extra of a normal assertion, however it actually seems like Dvalishvili believes there’s a sophisticated community of saboteurs and provocateurs on the market working to undermine his capacity to carry onto the belt.
We don’t doubt that the fan Merab punched was a Nurmagomedov fan. Odds are at all times good that it’s gonna be the followers of your opponent which might be gonna yell stuff at you throughout occasions. But when you’re recognized for hauling off and attacking anybody who insults you or Georgia, is it actually some grand plot when somebody will get you to haul off and assault them?
Merab already let Sean O’Malley’s staff anger him to the purpose the place the referee needed to remind him greater than as soon as DURING THE FIGHT to get his s— collectively and preserve preventing. At this level, he’s confirmed really easy to govern that it might be silly for his opponents to not do it.
So anticipate extra craziness and conspiracy over the approaching month main into Merab and Umar’s combat at UFC 311 on January 18th — if it nonetheless occurs after Merab assaults another person he shouldn’t.
