The altercation occurred as Dvalishvili was doing an interview and Nurmagomedov approached him before slapping the former UFC bantamweight champion just a split second later.
That set off a melee with members of Nurmagomedov’s team — including his brother Umar Nurmagomedov — involved in the fight with Dvalishvili and a friend of his who was there beside him when the brawl broke out.
RAF security officials tried desperately to get the situation under control, but the chaotic scene continued for a few moments until the fighters were separated.
Now check out the pros reaction to the brawl between Nurmagomedov and Dvalishvili ahead of RAF Abu Dhabi on Saturday.
