Merab Dvalishvili's hairline in latest post about UFC PI irks four-word reaction from Sean Strickland's coach

Sean Strickland's coach, Eric Nicksick, commented on Merab Dvalishvili's hairline.

Earlier this week, Dvalishvili went to the UFC Performance Institute in Las Vegas, Nevada, to prepare for his upcoming title defense against Umar Nurmagomedov. Unfortunately, the bantamweight world champion wasn't allowed in the training facility to prevent an altercation with Nurmagomedov, who was inside.

Dvalishvili explained the situation by saying this in a video posted on Instagram:

"I’m here out front of the UFC P.I., and security don’t let me go in because they said, ‘Umar Nurmagomedov is inside,’ and they are protecting him. Don’t worry guys. I’m not going to smash him before the fight, but January 18, different story."

Dvalishvili followed up by saying:

"I’m not able to go in UFC P.I. because I was supposed to get treatment for my injury, I was supposed to sign some cards, I was supposed to eat lunch with my friends. What the heck? I’m going to smash this guy because of all the disrespect, all the lies he was saying.''

Eric Nicksick took to the comment section and ignored the situation to react to Merab Dvalishvili's hairline:

"But that hairline though.... 📈😮‍💨"

Merab Dvalishvili demands Umar Nurmagomedov apologize to him after their fight

Merab Dvalishvili will defend his bantamweight throne against Umar Nurmagomedov in the UFC 311 co-main event on January 18, 2025. Less than a month before the fight, Dvalishvili and Nurmagomedov sparked an intense rivalry due to numerous insulting comments from both sides.

During an interview with Ariel Helwani, Dvalishvili demanded an apology from Nurmagomedov after their fight:

"He may get slapped after the fight. Because the fighting not a real fight, it's a sport. Yeah, if Umar doesn't apologize with me, it's going to happen. Even if I have to go to Dagestan, I will go."

Heading into UFC 311, Merab Dvalishvili is coming off the biggest win of his career, a title-winning unanimous decision against Sean O'Malley. Meanwhile, Umar Nurmagomedov extended his promotional record to 6-0 with a unanimous decision win against Cory Sandhagen in August.
