Now that we know about Jones’s choice of Thanksgiving guest, let us move on forward to Merab Dvalishvili and Umar Nurmagomedov.

Taking to his X handle, Dvalishvili has called out Nurmagomedov for his constant cries for the title shot, “I mean this guy wants title shot served to his bed like a breakfast. The biggest lesson here: Umar get to work. You are not my level. Earn, your title shot like the rest of us Whose last name doesn’t get fights. Class dismissed.” This statement by the bantamweight champion has been taken seriously by the number #2 ranked bantamweight fighter.
“What does this title represent? It means you’re the best in the world and if you’re the best in the world it doesn’t matter who is standing across from you. What do I say? No? Never. Let’s do this,” Umar Nurmagomedov responded as he tagged Islam Makhachev on the X post. Well, their fight has not been on the cards recently but as their bad blood reaches the boiling point, Dana White may have to intervene to settle the score. Regardless, let us move on forward to another bad blood between former light-heavyweight champions.

This statement by the former champion has been taken into cognizance by Jamahal Hill, who took shots at Prochakza, “Jiri, in your last fight ve. [Alex] Pereira you got dominated, completely exposed, and knocked out. I got caught, there’s a huge difference.” Both of the fighters have been badly defeated by the current champion, Alex Pereira, however, they can get a chance to redeem themselves if they win the UFC 311 clash.
