Arman Tsarukyan criticizes Merab Dvalishvili for hitting Umar Nurmagomedov’s friend

Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight Arman
Tsarukyan has accused Merab
Dvalishvili of delivering a sucker-punch to a man he says is

Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight contender Umar
Nurmagomedov's friend.

Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight Arman
Tsarukyan believes it was wrong of Merab
Dvalishvili to strike a man he says is Umar
Nurmagomedov's friend.

Dvalishvili recently got into a scuffle ahead of his wrestling win
over Henry
Cejudo at RAF Georgia. He was asked about a potential wrestling
match against Nurmagomedov during the pre-fight press conference.
“The Machine†dismissed the idea, calling the Dagestani
“spoiled.â€

A friend of Nurmagomedov was a part of the contingent of
Abdulrashid Sadulaev, who lost to Kyle Snyder at RAF Georgia.
Nurmagomedov's friend allegedly confronted Dvalishvili about his
comments after the pre-fight presser. The former bantamweight
champion then struck him, leading to an all-out brawl.

Tsarukyan didn't like Dvalishvili's actions. He revealed that
Nurmagomedov's friend was only asking Dvalishvili not to be
disrespectful towards the Dagestani star. “Ahalkalakets†claims
Dvalishvili launched the sucker punch while they were still
talking.

in the aftermath

Tsarukyan believes Dvalishvili could have settled the incident by
having a conversation instead of throwing hands. The UFC
lightweight also revealed that Dvalishvili subsequently squashed
his beef with the Dagestani squad.

“The scuffle began after Merab sucker-punched the guy, who was
actually trying to say, ‘Don't talk bad about our brother while we
are here.' And Merab punched him while he was talking,†Tsarukyan
told Red Corner MMA. “From my point of view, it was wrong. They
just needed to talk and settle things down. Then, when they got
locked in that room, they started fighting one-on-one. They
squashed it and shook hands.â€

Nurmagomedov (20-1) also slammed Dvalishvili (21-5) for hitting his
friend. Nurmagomedov also questions whether Dvalishvili would have
reacted the same way if there had been no crowd to break the
fight.

“On the Caucasus, a man is defined by honor, dignity, and
hospitality,†Nurmagomedov wrote on X. “My friend only asked why
you were talking behind someone's back. I don't need to insult you
to feel like a man. Who you really are is shown when there's no
crowd and no one to step in.â€
