Did Merab Dvalishvili’s night at UFC 310 end with a display of raw emotion or the unraveling of simmering tension? The bantamweight king himself has taken to social media, offering his perspective on the events that unfolded after Aljamain Sterling’s fight.
He spoke on the matter via Twitter. “More lies, disrespect, and deliberate provocations from Umar’s team. Here’s the real story.” Dvalishvili posted a video to his platform which suggested that the person who provoked him was linked to Umar Nurmagomedov, the man he’ll face in their highly anticipated rematch at UFC 311. The video showed the moment of interaction – a scuffle between the fighters and the alleged provocateur – with Dvalishvili clearly furious, needing to be held back as he was being confronted.
The video shows an exchange that suggests provocation from the fan, who appears to grab Dvalishvili’s arm before an altercation breaks out. As the camera pans in on Dvalishvili, his expression is a mix of frustration and anger, but there’s also a clear sense of shock as he tries to process what just happened.
It seems the tension between these two warriors has been building for some time, culminating in a fiery exchange after Sterling’s fight at UFC 310. Dvalishvili now faces the daunting task of defending his title against Nurmagomedov in their highly anticipated rematch at UFC 311. Can he rise above the drama? Will there be another clash between these two men? We’ll have to wait and see what unfolds next.
