UFC fighter Belal Muhammad has offered his insights on the highly anticipated question of Merab Dvalishvili`s next opponent. Muhammad believes that instead of Petr Yan, it will be Umar Nurmagomedov who steps into the octagon against “The Machine.”
Muhammad elaborated on his reasoning:
“I really think Umar will probably get another fight because Merab is calling out Petr Yan. Umar will not fight in December after October. I truly believe he is one of those who will be the main opponent for Dvalishvili because they had an even fight. It was very close. I know Merab doesn’t give Umar his due. They argue. It’s very funny because these guys are really nice. They just don’t like each other.”
Muhammad also added that Dvalishvili himself has significantly “made the bantamweight division interesting.”
