Merab Dvalishvili doesn’t imagine his altercation with a fan at UFC 310 was an accident.

On Saturday evening, the UFC bantamweight champion ended up in an incident as he was strolling backstage after cornering pal and teammate Aljamain Sterling in his battle in opposition to Movsar Evloev. Footage captured by close by followers noticed Dvalishvili being restrained by safety with fellow teammate and UFC fighter Dennis Buzukja really throwing punches with the individual.

The fan was apparently escorted out of the sector with UFC CEO Dana White later calling Dvalishvili his “mini-[Sean] Strickland” because of quite a few incidents taking place exterior the cage, which included the Georgian confronting a heckler on the Craig Jones Invitational in Las Vegas a couple of months in the past.

Now Dvalishvili is asking foul on the entire scenario by claiming that the one that accosted him as he walked backstage is definitely a “teammate and pal” of his upcoming opponent Umar Nurmagomedov.

“Extra lies, disrespect, and deliberate provocations from Umar’s staff,” Dvalishvili wrote on Twitter. “Right here’s the true story,”

The “actual story” includes a minute-long video alleging that the one that received into the altercation with Dvalishvili is a longtime pal and supporter of Nurmagomedov and his staff.

The video additionally alleges that the entire altercation was constructed round some kind of perceived disrespect by Dvalishvili in the direction of UFC 310 co-main occasion fighter Shavkat Rakhmonov, who was dealing with Ian Machado Garry later that very same evening.

Not one of the claims have been verified by Nurmagomedov or his staff however Dvalishvili is clearly satisfied he received arrange and drawn right into a calculated altercation by his subsequent opponent. When White addressed the scenario on the UFC 310 post-fight press convention, he acknowledged this newest difficulty isn’t an remoted incident for Dvalishvili.

Add to that, White says fighters usually construct up these conspiracy theories that any person is in opposition to them and maybe that’s simply the gas Dvalishvili wants for the fireplace he’s constructing in the direction of the eventual showdown in opposition to Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 on Jan. 18.

“Fighters are a paranoid bunch,” White mentioned. “There’s all the time some conspiracy in opposition to them. Whether or not it’s us or different individuals. We make fights individuals need to see. They win or lose the fights on their very own however they’re conspiracy theorists.

“They all the time suppose that any person is in opposition to them and possibly that’s what they should do to have that psychological factor to exit and do what they do.”
