Merab Dvalishvili's UFC 311 Title Defense Faces Uncertainty After Fan Altercation

The Nevada State Athletic Commission is investigating the incident, which could lead to a suspension for the bantamweight champion.

Merab Dvalishvili was involved in an altercation with a fan at UFC 310, with video showing him being restrained while his teammate Dennis Buzukja punched the fan.
Dvalishvili claims the fan was a provocateur connected to his upcoming opponent, Umar Nurmagomedov, and accused Nurmagomedov's team of orchestrating the incident.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission is reviewing the situation, which could result in a suspension similar to the one issued to Arman Tsarukyan for a similar incident earlier this year.
Dana White has warned Dvalishvili about the consequences of repeated confrontations with fans, emphasizing potential financial penalties and damage to his reputation.
The incident has heightened tensions ahead of Dvalishvili's scheduled title defense against Nurmagomedov on January 18, with the fight potentially at risk if disciplinary action is taken.
