UFC 311’s bad blood might have gotten worse.
In two weeks (Sat., Jan. 18, 2025), the first Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) pay-per-view (PPV) is going down inside the brand-new Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, and in the co-main event of UFC 311, Merab Dvalishvili will defend his Bantamweight title against rival Umar Nurmagomedov.
