Usman Nurmagomedov may be the hottest free agent in combat sports but he’s also become public enemy No. 1 after his surprise attack on Merab Dvalishviliin Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The altercation occurred as Dvalishvili was doing an interview and Nurmagomedov approached him before slapping the former UFC bantamweight champion just a split second later.
That set off a melee with members of Nurmagomedov’s team — including his brother Umar Nurmagomedov — involved in the fight with Dvalishvili and a friend
of his who was there beside him when the brawl broke out.
RAF security officials tried desperately to get the situation under control but the chaotic scene continued for a few moments until the fighters were separated.
Now check out the pros reaction to the brawl between Nurmagomedov and Dvalishvili ahead of RAF Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
