Mario Bautista Says Merab Dvalishvili Exposed Umar Nurmagomedov’s Biggest Weakness

Bautista believes Dvalishvili’s dominant decision win in January revealed how to beat Khabib's cousin, Umar. “When the going gets tough, he kinda dies out a little bit,” Bautista said. He emphasized that Umar’s issue isn’t technical but mental: “I’m not looking at Umar’s skillset… it’s his willingness to keep fighting.” Bautista now eyes a future clash with the #2-ranked contender.
