Sharing some particulars on the alleged incident, Nurmagomedov’s head coach, American Kickboxing Academy mastermind, Mendez questioned how precisely Dvalishvili was “upset” by the incident.

That’s my query—I need to ask. Or did he simply need to come lately, or was this earlier than we determined we had been going to coach there? I imply, I don’t know.
So my query could be: if we’re already instructed we’re coaching from this time to that point till we find yourself going to Los Angeles, and then you definately are available in and say, ‘I need to practice,’ okay, when do you need to practice? You need to practice whereas Umar and Islam are already coaching there? How will you get upset at that? I don’t know.
