Arman Tsarukyan on Nurmagomedov’s attack on Dvalishvili: It was inevitable
10:05 13 November, 2026Arman Tsarukyan (Armenia), the No. 2-ranked title contender in the lightweight division of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) , has commented on the incident where PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov (Russia) confronted former UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili (Georgia).
"It was inevitable. There had to be a response, and that’s what happened. But I don’t think Usman wanted to fight; he just wanted to slap him back. He probably thought that would be the end of it, but Merab is a beast, he attacked immediately.
I don’t think there should be any further conflict. They should just sit down together and shake hands. They’re essentially even now," Tsarukyan said on Adam Zubayraev’s YouTube channel.
As a reminder, Usman Nurmagomedov, along with several of his teammates, attacked Merab Dvalishvili at a hotel in Abu Dhabi. He was arrested by law enforcement.
