Renowned Russian trainer Ramazan Ismailov has weighed in on the conflict between Usman Nurmagomedov and Merab Dvalishvili.
I think what he did was the right thing to do, but in this particular context, Mirab got what he was looking for. Guys,
I can see that a lot of you are watching these videos. I watch quite a few myself, and I see that many people are criticizing Usman’s actions.
But at the same time, I haven’t heard any of these people condemning Mirab when he did exactly the same thing. And it doesn’t matter that people say Usman was surrounded by a crowd. Mirab had a crowd thousands of times bigger back in his home country. He was on his own turf, and he also allowed the person he was talking to to slap him in the face.
Keep turning a blind eye, keep turning a blind eye. He got what he was looking for. Open your eyes!
I think it was all fair and square.
Well, after this video of the incident, I think Mirab is guaranteed to get another contract with the UFC.
I don’t know, even if it’s not the UFC, some other organization will definitely offer him a contract.
He’s a very, very quick guy.
Must be a cultural difference. In America, you don’t send 8 of your friends to fight your battles. That makes you a coward over here. Or black
Everytime they open their mouths, all these fucking guys prove to be idiots.
“I think it was all fair and square”

Russians in general have this problem.
UFC two-division champion, Russian fighter Islam Makhachev, has commented on an incident involving the undefeated reigning PFL lightweight (up to 70 kg) champion, Russian Usman Nurmagomedov—along with his team—and former UFC title contender, Georgian Merab Dvalishvili.
"To those who are currently condemning Usman and the guys, and directing insults at them:
Why were you silent when Merab struck a Dagestani wrestler for no reason, violating his honor? The man had approached him to talk, with no ill intent. What happened today was initiated by Merab back in his own homeland, when he took the liberty of striking a guest and insulting his mother," Makhachev wrote on social media.
“Usman’s a legend! You get what you give.” Azizyan supports the attack on Dvalishvili
Gor Azizyan, founder of the Gor MMA gym, has weighed in on the incident in Abu Dhabi involving former UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili, expressing his support for Russian PFL fighter Usman Nurmagomedov and his team.
“You get what you give! If I’d been there, I would’ve landed a few blows myself. Merab, you’ve insulted the honor of 145 million people! Stop running your mouth about politics, the country, and the flag! You simply don’t have the knowledge or the brains for it! Usman’s a legend—and so is the rest of the crew!” Azizyan said in a video posted to his social media account.
As a reminder, under Article 390 of the UAE’s Federal Law on Crimes and Punishments, Usman Nurmagomedov could face up to one year in prison or a fine of approximately $2,700 following the attack on Dvalishvili.
Thank you for proving my point?
I never saw the Merab incident where he slapped a dagi wrestler and insulted his mother. I’m not bothered by the attack either. It’s their culture, their rules. If Merab chose to poke the lion, it’s his fate. We can cry cowardice, bitch made, whatever we want, but these are the rules the dagis play by.
In middle school and high school we had a similar group of people who were the same, it was the asians. We said if you are going to fight one, you fight them all. I got jumped, friends got jumped. We learned to deal with it. I actually became really good friends with them afterwards because we started making our own rules too and they respected us for it.
All that being said, these guys are acting like high school bullies and need to grow the fuck up and act like professionals.
Well if Gor Azizyan says it’s cool!
Merab slapped some other dude. So you think it’s OK for 8 of his friends to jump merab? Are you black?
Erm what
You would get bothered if you realized you could just as well be the one getting jumped
“Their culture” and “their rules” is all good, until they have an impact on you or other people
You dont have any friends in the real world.
Youve never mentioned a friend once.
Thats sad.
Now I understand why you hate Black people ![]()
You can call me the N word fella. I get it now. I understand your pain ![]()
The key word is Russian.
They attack him with a bunch of pussies. If you want to handle it, handle it straight up one on one.
You’re kinda right, most of my friends turned into drug addicts. Dead or disappeared at this point. I got a few left though. And why would I talk about them on here? I’ve never heard you mention any friends either. Are you projecting?
Yeah, and that dude wasn’t in Aboo Dabiabi. So what’s the point?
What do you mean?
And I could be wrong but I don’t think I’ve ever called you the n word directly. I don’t think you’re one. I use it when I see oneand they are one
