It is likely to be the vacation season, however Merab
Dvalishvili wasn’t feeling particularly jolly after allegedly
being denied entry into the UFC Efficiency Institute on
Monday.
In a social media submit, the reigning bantamweight champion claimed
that safety wouldn’t let him into the power as a result of UFC 311
opponent Umar
Nurmagomedov was already contained in the buildiing.
“I’m right here out entrance of the UFC P.I., and safety don’t let me go
in as a result of they stated, ‘Umar Nurmagomedov is inside,’ and they’re
defending him,” Dvalishvili stated in a video. “Don’t fear, guys.
I’m not going to smash him earlier than the battle. However Jan. 18, completely different
story. I’m not in a position to go in UFC P.I. as a result of I used to be imagined to get
remedy for my harm. I used to be imagined to signal some playing cards. I used to be
imagined to eat lunch with my pals. What the heck? I’m going to
smash this man due to all of the disrespect, all of the lies he was
saying.
“You higher present up, Umar. At the moment, you’re protected. Don’t fear,
I’m not going to punch you earlier than the battle. However Jan. 18, nobody
will defend you.”
It’s unclear if Dvalishvili acquired entry to the UFC P.I. later
in day or if his session was rescheduled.
Pressure has been constructing between Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov for
a number of months now. Dvalishvili was not particularly receptive towards
making his first title protection in opposition to Nurmagomedov as a result of he
believed that the Dagestani was given preferential remedy by the
promotion because the cousin of retired light-weight champ Khabib
Nurmagomedov. Extra lately, “The Machine” claimed that his
altercation with a fan at UFC 310
was a part of a
setup by Nurmagomedov and his crew.
UFC 311 takes place on Jan. 18 on the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles
and is headlined by a light-weight title tilt between Islam
Makhachev and Arman
Tsarukyan. Dvalishvili vs. Nurmagomedov is slated for the
night’s co-main occasion.
