Will Merab Dvalishvili “Humble” Umar Nurmagomedov At UFC 311?

UFC reigning Bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili is going to defend his title against the undefeated Bantamweight title challenger Umar Nurmagomedov, and the bad blood between these two fighters is making this fight even more exciting. Merab Dvalishvili(18-4) and Umar Nurmagomedov(18-0) have been hyping this fight by going back and forth on social media. In fact, in the UFC 311 presser in December 2024, they were the highlight of the media interaction. They almost got into a heated altercation backstage till security came in between to separate them.

Merab Dvalishvili is on an 11-fight win streak and has defeated top Bantamweights in the UFC and former champions to get the belt; Umar Nurmagomedov, on the other hand, has fought contenders like Cory Sandhagen and Bekzhat Almakhan and has dominant victories over them in the UFC plus he is an undefeated fighter so far that’s why he is favorite to win the fight against the champion but “The Machine” will be a challenge to get through for the challenger.

How Merab Dvalishvili Can Outclass Umar Nurmagomedov At UFC 311?

The biggest advantage on the Georgian fighter’s side is his insane pace combined with his unending cardio, due to which he has outclassed his last 11 opponents, including former champs Henry Cejudo and Petr Yan, who were considered the top-class Bantamweights in the UFC. In his last fight with the best striker in the division, former champ Sean O’Malley, he proved that his fight IQ and game plan can outclass even the best in the fight.

He will enter the Octagon at UFC 311 with a game plan against Umar Nurmagomedov as well, and from the first round, he will try to execute that and make changes in that round by round. However, it will not be easy against Umar Nurmagomedov, who has the advantage of wrestling and striking. Moreover, he has the striking advantage, but would he be able to survive against the relentless pressure that Merab brings into the cage? Which will be exciting to see at the co-main event at UFC 311.
