UFC Title Fight Controversy: Nurmagomedov vs. Dvalishvili

Umar Nurmagomedov and Merab Dvalishvili are embroiled in a dispute over the timing and legitimacy of their potential bantamweight title fight.

Umar Nurmagomedov has been confirmed by UFC President Dana White as the next challenger for Merab Dvalishvili's bantamweight title.
Nurmagomedov agreed to a December fight, but declined a March date due to Ramadan, proposing a May fight instead.
Dvalishvili has expressed skepticism about Nurmagomedov's readiness and merit for a title shot, suggesting he hasn't faced enough top contenders.
Fans and fighters, including Aljamain Sterling, have weighed in on the debate, with some supporting Dvalishvili's demand for Nurmagomedov to earn his shot.
The UFC is caught in the middle, with Dana White backing Nurmagomedov while Dvalishvili insists on facing a more established contender.
