Khabib Nurmagomedov's brother is in police custody in Abu Dhabi more than 12 hours after a fight with fighter Mirav Devlishvili. In the past, the fight started after the Georgian fighter insulted Osman Nurmagomedov's mother.
A fight took place the day before in one of the hotels. The Georgian fighter was being interviewed when suddenly Osman Nurmagomedov and his team turned to him and his friends. They attacked the former UFC champion. According to Devlishvili, he was beaten and punched in the face. At the same time, the UFC champion, Islam Makhchev, claims that the fight was a continuation of a long-standing enmity between the athletes and occurred due to insults to the fighter's mother.
Nurmagomedov and his team, who are now under arrest, have already been visited by a lawyer. The athlete is with the police and is now under arrest. According to some reports, he could face up to a year in prison and a fine of about 2.7 thousand dollars (almost 225 thousand rubles). Under UAE law, assault by a group of people is considered an aggravating circumstance.
