Manager Rizvan Magomedov, representing the interests of the UFC fighter Umara Nurmagomedov assessing the chances of fighting with Merab Dvalishvili.
“I estimate the probability of Umar fighting Merab for the belt is 98 percent.”
Did Merab refuse this option? You know, I generally respect Merab a lot. I like this guy, I’ve known him for a long time. He is both a good person and a well-deserved champion as a fighter. It just seems to me that he has a bad advisor and a bad prompter. He follows the lineage of Aljamain Sterling. And I think what you’re saying is consistent with what Aljamain Sterling said. I think Merab needs to reconsider who he takes advice from in the media business.
The proposal of March 8 did not reach us for us to refuse it. There was no specific date yet. There was an offer to fight for the title and we accepted. They didn’t even offer January or February, because there was an Australian tournament there – apparently there was no point in holding it. So we are just waiting for the date,” quotes the Sport24 manager.
Dvalishvili, 33, has 18 wins and four losses during his MMA career, while Nurmagomedov, 28, has 18 wins in 18 fights.
