Following the altercation between Usman Nurmagomedov and Merab Dvalishvili, UFC content creator Nina Drama has called for the promotion to ban the Dagestani fighter and his entourage.
Nurmagomedov, 28, has faced widespread backlash online after leading a group of fighters in an attack on Dvalishvili in an Abu Dhabi hotel lobby. The incident saw Nurmagomedov approach the Georgian fighter before slapping him across the face and attacking him alongside his friend, 21-year-old Saba Alazishvili, sparking a brawl between the two sides.
Nina-Marie Danielle, better known on social media as Nina Drama, shared her reaction to the incident in a video on X.
In the tweet, she said: “Merab Dvalishvili is like a brother to me. Seeing that video of him getting attacked made me sick to my stomach. Those cowards must pay for what they did. A premeditated attack, with their phones already filming.”
Drama also drew comparisons with an altercation involving Dillon Danis and Islam Makhachev’s camp in 2025. The former was subsequently banned from the UFC for his involvement in the incident, prompting Drama to question why Nurmagomedov and his entourage should receive different treatment.
“The UFC banned Dillion Danis after he got attacked and jumped by 20 guys when it was just him and his brother and they did nothing to them? I really hope UFC bans Usman Nurmagomedov and his friends from ever stepping foot inside the UFC,” she continued on her X post.
Drama’s comments have raised questions over whether the UFC will take disciplinary action against Nurmagomedov and those involved in the altercation.
With the incident taking place in the build-up to this weekend’s Real American Freestyle (RAF) wrestling event in Abu Dhabi, attention could now turn to the UFC to address the situation.
The UFC has yet to publicly address the incident or confirm whether any disciplinary action will be taken against Nurmagomedov and the others involved. The UFC could face further scrutiny over its response, particularly given the previous action taken against Danis following his involvement in a similar incident.
