This weekend we have the greatest WMMA fight of all time, and no one seems to care..
10 years ago the UFC made its debut in New York at MSG with an amazing spectacle of Conor McGregor becoming the first UFC Double Champ.
This week we’ve had Dana White possibly being the White House press sec, Tommy McMillen overdosing at the club, Usman Umar and the Nurmagomedov team gang assaulting Merab and his training buddy, and this weekends card gets overshadowed.
Kayla Harrison is a 2x Judo Gold Medalist, which is arguably the hardest sport to medal in, being that 122 nations compete. She is also the only American Olympic gold medalist Judoka.
Amanda Nunes is by far the greatest woman’s fighter of all time. Simultaneous Bantamweight & Featherweight champ with multiple defenses in each division. The only person that can come close to her is Valentina Shevchenko, who Nunes already beat twice.
If Amanda comes back after more than 3 years out of the game, at age 38, and beats Kayla who is an absolute terror in the division, she cements herself as a definite Top 10 MMA fighter OAT. On the flip side if Kayla wins, she might as well be the best female Martial Artist to ever live.
This fight is not getting nearly enough attention. The real main event.

Usman Nurmagomedov is a criminal. His team feels they can do anything to anyone, anywhere, and that they are above the law wherever they are.
- Arrested and detained for running over a policeman in 2021
- Suspended for steroids in 2023
- Rushed the cage after Yadong KO’d Umar and tried to elbow him
- Recently jumped Merab 10-on-1 with his Dagestani mob

Full footage of the brawl at RAF hotel:
SUSPEND THEM FOR 1 YEAR MINIMUM! Have them miss out the prime of their career and this behavior will stop!
They can’t keep ganging up and assaulting people 20 vs. 1 with no repercussions!
Here’s slow motion play by play:
Merab says his 21yo friend took on BOTH Nurmagomedov brothers and walked away with relatively minor damage considering the situation 😅
He’s a wrestler with no MMA experience facing two Top 5 fighters and a mob of angry Dagestanis. Pretty well for the situation I’d say 👏
Merab Dvalishvilli and his friend were confronted by Usman & Umar Nurmagomedov along with a crew at an RAF event in UAE. The proceeded to be jumped and beat on 10 vs. 2 😳
What happened to “Send me location”? Time and time again they animals get away with these heinous acts!
