Former two-division UFC champion Ilia Topuria has claimed that Russian fighter and PFL champion Usman Nurmagomedov was detained following a confrontation with Merab Dvalishvili in Abu Dhabi.

Reports first emerged that Nurmagomedov and people accompanying him had fought with Dvalishvili at a hotel in Abu Dhabi. Topuria shared a video of the incident and later issued a further statement.

“According to reports, Usman and the cowards with him have been detained. Are these the very people who dare to talk about humility and respect? What a disgrace. A group of real cowards. I have always considered you a mediocre bunch. Now you have removed any remaining doubts. Honor, respect and humility are not just words. They are values a person lives by. And you have demonstrated none of them,” Topuria wrote on social media.
