Abu Dhabi court hands down six-month prison sentences, fines and deportation orders after hotel fight at MMA star’s camps
The six defendants were fined 300,000 dirhams (about $81,600) for their role in the fight, which authorities said threatened public safety. Two others received the same sentence for recording the confrontation and sharing the footage online.
Two additional defendants were fined 50,000 dirhams (about $13,600) with no jail time.
The fight broke out on Wednesday at a hotel on Yas Island, where Dvalishvili was giving an interview ahead of the Real American Freestyle wrestling event.
A video circulating on social media showed Nurmagomedov approaching Dvalishvili along with several others before punching him in the face. The confrontation quickly escalated into a fight involving both groups.
Former UFC bantamweight champion Dvalishvili was scheduled to compete on Saturday Marlon Moraes. Nurmagomedov had traveled to Abu Dhabi to support his brother Umar, who was also due to participate.
The organizers then removed Umar from the event line-up.
