Merab Dvalishvili reacts as bitter rival Umar Nurmagomedov gets KO'd after weeks of back-and-forth

While the Georgian star gears up for his chance to regain the UFC bantamweight title, Nurmagomedov had the chance to secure his second shot at glory on Saturday.

Before Petr Yan’s UFC 333 title defense against Dvalishvili, ‘The Young Eagle’ headlined in Shanghai against local star Song Yadong.

Nurmagomedov was hoping to record his third straight win en route to another championship opportunity. But things did not go to plan for the Dagestani, and his biggest rival was watching.
