Merab Dvalishvili shares Khabib Nurmagomedov conversation after UFC 311

[@nachiketkalbhande4425]

Merabs gained so much respect from everyone after this fight

[@JamesBondi7]

Honestly not from me, he called out umar for being disrespectful for challenging him, then proceed to disrespect umar in the cage with his lack of sportsmanship and showboating his cardio. Hes not goat material, and will be forgotten in 1 month when everyone is back on Pereira wagon.

[@EdievShamil]

​@JamesBondi7 so true, no skills, only cardio

[@gearer11]

Merab took the fight knowing it's the biggest challenge so far after "easy" wins when everyone thought he's loosing this one cause it's Umar and his wrestling is gonna be tested like never before. I bet you could guarantee his cardio won't help him cause Umar is so good everywhere. And still after the fight you don't know the simple fact that without skills you don't get a win against such a perfect fast and technical fighter as Umar is. Shame on you haters never satisfied.

[@nicksfreedommma]

⁠@@JamesBondi7nah Merab brought up how this fight only happened so soon based of the Muslim schedule and umar was tweeting some disrespectful messages but it wasn’t umar who tweeted it but was Ali on umars account. Ali is a scumbag

He could have been champ earlier if he wanted to. I genuinely believe he would have beat Aljo but we know those two would never fight.

he earned my respect bruh

[@tropickman]

Why? He was rather disrespectful before & during the fight. Its easy to be nice on camera for 2 minutes after winning the championship fight. And him praising Khabib; what do you expect?! Khabib is quite wealthy, powerful & influential. He did a lot for the sport. He is close to Dana & UFC management & personally knows powerful people in middle east, Russia & US. He is also the most recognizable & popular MMA fighter in the world, even though he is retired.

He should thank Umar, he brought him fame and spotlight like none of his previous opponents. I still think the fight is unfortunate because of Umar hand broken on R2 but it is what it is.. hopefully one day soon we see a rematch while Merab is still at the top. Umar made him real champion tbf, now I’m keen to watch Merab’s next fight. Well done to him

[@Buckheimer]

​@@lkix8010 Umar rushed it. He shudve followed in his mentors footsteps and took his time. Truly will be a learning experience for him but using this broken hand excuse is not giving much hope in his mentality.

Team Khabib here but Merab was right, Umar needs more experience before he challenges the belt again. Nobody can match Merab's cardio so Umar needs to learn something exceptional in order to take out Merab in a future fight. Also props to Merab because he definitely didn't have any Team like Team Khabib in his corner, he wasn't raised as a fighter too. He did it all with his own will power and determination. That's something you can't teach.

[@redwhiterose1376]

Damn true.. i almost forgot where merab came from... A construction worker... This guy have my respect now, and yeah he deserved this win. 🎉

[@tropickman]

Umar is very young; yet he went 5 rounds against a dominant champ. Umar won the first two rounds & lost a rather close fight. I feel that Umar employed the wrong strategy in this fight; he forced wrestling & attempted takedowns which drained his energy, causing him to lose. Khabib may be somewhat responsible for Umar's loss because they had the wrong strategy for Umar. He should have not forced wrestling so much. I heard Khabib saying in beginning of 3rd round "start wrestling now & give it all you have".

[@yasirtahirkheli74]

Get it straight mate...Its not the fighter who decides/challenges who to fight or next but the UFC. Umar never challenged or asked Merab to fight in the first place. He earned his spot as a contender after a successful winning streak.
