Merab Dvalishvili coach John Wooden believes the state of affairs will worsen for Umar Nurmagomedov if there’s a risk of a rematch.
After successful the bantamweight title final yr with a cushty victory over Sean O’Malley, Dovalishvili’s first protection passed off towards Nurmagomedov at UFC 311 in January. Regardless of enjoying as a stellar 3-1 contender in some sportsbooks, Daguestani fell quick on all three scorecards and suffered his first loss in his profession.
Dvalishvili defeated Corey Sandhagen in UFC 320, tales have emerged about the opportunity of a rematch between Nurmagomedov and “The Machine.” However when you ask Wooden, it will solely be disastrous for Habib’s cousin.
“I believe he’ll finish Umar. I believe he’ll destroy Umar,” Wooden informed Submission Radio. “It is even worse for Umar. Individuals attempt to make excuses it doesn’t matter what’s happening in Umar’s camp. That was the worst merab you have ever seen. It was the unhealthy, sick, injured, and fast to play in a match. It was the fingers, again, ribs, shins, shins, staphylococcal an infection.”
“Every thing you may undergo, he nonetheless went out on the scene and handled that. And that is what you do not wish to get an offended Merab to face on his ass – and he isn’t an enormous fan of a few of what they are saying or a few of his actions. I believe it may be finished in a way more violent method, and I believe there’s most likely a end that comes from that battle.”
The sequel scrap of Nurmagomedov and Dovarishvili most likely will not be on the want checklist of MMA followers. Nonetheless, regardless of being one of the gifted courses within the UFC, the bantamweights are nonetheless extremely quick on contestants, and a rematch is nicely throughout the realm of an opportunity.
