Khabib stated, "The UFC needed a co-main event fight, that's my personal opinion. I believe they pressured Merab and made him fight Umar, despite his reluctance."
Dvalishvili’s initial resistance to facing Umar stemmed from believing he was undeserving of a title shot. He later felt compelled to accept the fight due to pressure and respect issues.
