RAF Hopes Dvalishvili Competes After Hotel Brawl
Police said 8 fight participants and 2 people who filmed the clash were arrested and referred to prosecutors after the hotel altercation.
- On Thursday, Abu Dhabi Police arrested 10 people following a violent brawl at a Yas Island hotel involving Merab Dvalishvili and Usman Nurmagomedov, referring all to the Public Prosecution for further legal proceedings.
- The altercation stemmed from a longstanding rivalry between Dvalishvili and the Nurmagomedovs, dating back to Dvalishvili's unanimous decision victory over Umar at UFC 311, with tensions flaring repeatedly in recent months.
- Footage showed Usman approaching Dvalishvili from behind in the Yas Hilton lobby, where he slapped the fighter before a brawl ensued; Dvalishvili sustained a facial cut requiring medical treatment, though he is not pressing charges.
- Detained individuals include eight participants and two people who filmed the incident, as Abu Dhabi Police stated they "would deal firmly with behaviour that threatens public safety" in their official statement.
- While Usman will not attend Saturday's event, Real American Freestyle co-founder Chad Bronstein hopes Dvalishvili still competes; Usman, a free agent, has drawn interest from the Ultimate Fighting Championship after running down his PFL contract.
