Okaz: Usman-led group attacked Dvalishvili in Abu Dhabi.

Merab Dvalishvili was conducting a RAF media interview in a hotel lobby in Abu Dhabi when the confrontation occurred. In its November 12 report, Okaz described footage as showing Usman Nurmagomedov approach and strike him before a wider scuffle. Dvalishvili also alleged that several people took part and that he was kicked after falling; those details are his account. MMA Fighting reported that Islam Makhachev defended him and referred to earlier tensions with Dvalishvili. Makhachev’s account does not establish what led to the hotel confrontation. Dvalishvili was scheduled to wrestle Marlon Moraes at RAF Abu Dhabi on November 14 at Etihad Arena. Okaz said it was unclear whether his injuries would keep him from competing.
