UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria posted a video on social media that appears to show Bellator lightweight champion Usman Nurmagomedov striking fellow UFC titleholder Merab Dvalishvili during what is described as a RAF interview.

The footage, shared by Topuria on his X account, captures an unidentified figure striking Dvalishvili. The incident reportedly took place on November 11, 2026, during an interview session associated with the Russian Armed Forces (RAF).

Alexander K. Lee of SB Nation reported on the video, which has circulated among combat sports outlets. Neither Nurmagomedov nor Dvalishvili has issued a public statement regarding the altercation as of the time of reporting.
