Merab Dvalishvili Claims He ‘Broke’ Umar Nurmagomedov, Backs Mario Bautista at UFC 321

Dvalishvili believes his UFC 311 win over #2-ranked Umar in January left lasting effects. “I think I broke Umar, and Bautista can beat him too,” he said, predicting #9-ranked Bautista will win their clash this weekend. The bantamweight champ, set to face former champion Petr Yan in a rematch at UFC 323 in December, hopes Bautista becomes his next challenger.
