UFC super lightweight (61 kg) champion Merab Dvalishvili's coach, John Wood, made a sharp statement about his student's possible revenge against Russian Umar Nurmagomedov. According to him, this time the match will not reach the judges' decision.
Wood said in an interview with Submission Radio's YouTube channel:
"I think Merab will eliminate Omar in the rematch. This time it will be very difficult for Nurmagomedov. In the first clash, Merab entered the octagon with pain and minor injuries, but still won. And in the rematch, we'll see the finish."
As a reminder, the Dvalishvili-Nurmagomedov fight took place at UFC 311, where the Georgian fighter won by unanimous decision of the judges. Wood emphasized that Merab failed to fully demonstrate his potential that night, so in the second match, he intends to strive for a brilliant victory (finish) thanks to high tempo, relentless pressure, and movement.
At the same time, it is said that Umar Nurmagomedov is respected as a versatile fighter with excellent technique and training, and a potential rematch will further heighten the situation at the top of the division. The UFC has not yet released any official confirmation or dates for this fight, but discussions around the parties have further fueled fan interest.
The conclusion for fans is one: if a rematch is organized, you can expect a truly "fierce" night in the octagon with high intensity, hot clinches, and pursued parterre.
