The aftermath of Merab Dvalishvili’s assault in Abu Dhabi continues to bring major updates, and the latest is that it’s now been confirmed that UFC fighter Umar Nuragomedov was present around the time of the attack that was started by his brother Usman.

Umar didn’t appear to be visible in the video angles of the attack, which saw Merab and his friend Saba Lazishvili being assaulted by six men, but according to Dvalishvili he did show up after the footage ended.

At this stage Dvalishvili is remaining tight-lipped about exactly what Umar did or didn’t do as he doesn’t want to get him in any more trouble, but according to the former champ his fellow bantamweight is still being held in custody at this time.

“I’m most disappointed in Umar,” Dvalishvili told MMA Pros Pick. “When the altercation was over, he came afterwards and could have handled the situation with dignity. I won’t talk about that right now since he’s still in custody. I hope he gets released soon. I don’t know if I’ll speak about this afterward, but Umar is the only person I’m truly disappointed in because he didn’t behave himself the way a proper athlete and human should.”

This new information regarding Umar would explain why he was suddenly pulled from his wrestling match with Urijah Faber at RAF 15 in Abu Dhabi this weekend, with Saba Lazishvili now taking his place instead after his heroics during the brawl, which saw him drop two of the attackers with single punches.

As for the others involved, Usman Nurmagomedov, along with five others from his entourage have already been jailed for six months, while two others who filmed the altercation have received the same sentence.
