Curtis Blaydes has weighed in on the recent nasty incident involving Merab Dvalishvili, Saba Lazishvili – Usman Nurmagomedov, and team.
Dvalishvili and Lazishvili were attacked by Nurmagomedov and his clan while they were in a hotel lobby ahead of their RAF Event (which concluded earlier today).
The two Georgians, outnumbered by the Russians, were hurt as a massive scuffle ensued right after ‘The Machine’ was slapped by Nurmagomedov.
A bloodied Dvalishvili later posted an Instagram video explaining the same. And it’s been the talk of the MMA community over the last few days.
In a video he shared on Instagram, Blaydes was seen explaining how ‘deep’ the UFC heavyweight division is currently.

And in the comments section, he shared his take on the attack on Dvalishvili and his friend.
A fan asked:
What’s your opinion on the Merab/Usman stuff going on rn?
Blaydes replied:
It was a cowardly move by Usman and he deserves the jail time he received, honestly he’s lucky it wasn’t more time.

Merab Dvalishvili wants Usman Nurmagomedov And Team Released From Prison
Six members of Usman Nurmagomedov’s team were sentenced to 6 months in prison, while also being fined 300,000 AED.
Following his win over Marlon Moraes in the first round of the RAF event, Merab Dvalishvili earned the respect of the crowd at the post-fight interview with Chael Sonnen, as he called for the release of Nurmagomedov and his team members arrested.
Abu Dhabi government, or whoever can do it, please release those guys, and please let them out. Please, because we are just fighters and these things can happen.
