Former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili and PFL lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov were involved in a mass brawl in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.

A video of the incident appeared to show Russian Nurmagomedov slap Dvalishvili after approaching the Georgian from behind.

Fighting then broke out between the two and members of their teams in a hotel lobby.
