Former UFC champion Dillashaw: “Nurmagomedov is more technical than Dvalishvili, but he lacks endurance”
Former UFC bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw told what Russian Umar Nurmagomedov must improve in order to take the championship belt from Merab Dvalishvili.
On Saturday in Abu Dhabi, in the main card of the UFC 321 tournament, Nurmagomedov defeated American Mario Bautista by unanimous decision, after which he rose to first place in the bantamweight division rankings. The champion title belongs to Dvalishvili, who in January inflicted the only defeat of his career on Nurmagomedov.
— Dvalishvili fights at a hurricane pace, but his main weapon is endurance. You need to prepare wisely against such a fighter, because Merab will never get tired in battle. “I think Umar has better technique and he’s also very fast, but he doesn’t have the stamina to keep up with Merab,” Dillashaw was quoted as saying by MMA Junkie.
Dvalishvili will make his fourth title defense in 2025 when he faces Russia’s Petr Yan in the main event of UFC 323 on December 6 at T‑Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Nurmagomedov’s team expects the Russian to get his next fight in January.

Legendary British boxer Lennox Lewis He expressed his opinion that Anthony Joshua is ready for a possible fight with Tyson Fury. The former absolute world champion believes Joshua should have another interim fight before such a mega fight.
“Did Joshua show off enough to beat Fury? With a performance like that, no. It won’t work against Tyson. But at least he got into a rhythm. This was his first fight with a new team, he’s still getting used to Usyk and his team,” Lewis explained.
A big boxing show took place in Miami, USA, on the night of December 19-20, 2025. In the main fight, American entertainer Jake Paul and former world champion Anthony Joshua entered the ring. The fight ended in the sixth round – AJ brutally knocked out his opponent.

Eddie Hearnsupporter Anthony JoshuaHe shared the British boxer’s plans for the near future.
“We are acting according to Turki Al El-Sheikh’s strategy. Joshua plans to fight in February or March and then hopefully fight Tyson Fury.”
The next fight was originally scheduled for February 14, but with the date only seven weeks away, it is important to evaluate Anthony’s fitness. Hearn explained that there are actually seven weeks left now: “The fight could be moved to mid or late March if necessary.”
“Rico Verhoeven? This name has been mentioned a few times before. We are considering various options. We need a fight that will prepare us to face Tyson Fury and the way he fights. There are enough offers right now,” Hearn added.
Let us remind you that Joshua previously won by knocking out Jake Paul in the sixth round.
Additionally, Verhoeven had previously officially vacated the Glory heavyweight championship belt.

british boxer Derek Chisora He shared his assessment of the knockout that ended Anthony Joshua’s fight against Jake Paul.
“This should have happened a long time ago. Joshua did what he had to do. Forget everything else. I was among those who said that if the fight dragged on there would be questions. But the ring was too big. Jake didn’t want to fight – he tried to fight. Joshua said everything right: I’m going to suck your strength and then I’m going to knock you out… He broke his jaw,” Chisora said.
