Previously, Nurmagomedov defeated Corey Sandhagen at a tournament in Abu Dhabi.
“The victory over Petr Yan was significant for me. He behaved badly towards me and deserved to lose. As for the continuation of the winning streak against Russian fighters, Umar is not exactly a Russian fighter, he is from Dagestan. I respect the Dagestanis, but they have their own culture, religion, language and traditions.
I plan to deal with Umar later, but now I am focused on the title fight. I should have had a title shot after beating Jose Aldo, and then after beating Petr Yan. After beating Henry Cejudo, I didn’t know what to expect. I like Umar, but the fight with him doesn’t inspire me yet,” Dvalishvili said in an interview with heavywgt MMA.
