Daniel Cormier breaks down Merab Dvalishvili vs. Umar Nurmagomedov

Daniel Cormier, who shares a close relationship with the Dagestani fighters, recently broke down the UFC 311 co-main event. The key factor will be Merab Dvalishvili's cardio, which 'DC' claims will be something Umar Nurmagomedov has never seen in his career so far. Cormier also believes 'The Machine' is a more experienced fighter.

In the UFC 311 ESPN MMA preview, the UFC commentator praised the challenger, saying:

"He is as talented as any of them. He works as hard as any of them… The one difference between Umar and the rest is he seemed to be a striker that learned to wrestle more opposed to the wrestler that was trying to just get the striking."

Cormier added:

"Merab is the real deal. He is going to get pushed in a way that he never has. And I truly believe that the biggest push for Merab will come just in the cardio because he is going to push a pace that Umar has never seen before."
