T.J. Dillashaw thinks Umar Nurmagomedov can beat UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili
T.J. Dillashaw thinks Umar Nurmagomedov can beat UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili T.J. Dillashaw thinks that with some adjustments, Umar Nurmagomedov can dethrone UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili. Dvalishvili (20-4 MMA, 13-2 UFC) continued his tear through the bantamweight division when he submitted Sean O'Malley to notch his second title defense earlier this month at UFC 316. Dvalishvili is expected to face Cory Sandhagen next, although Dillashaw thinks the champion's style would be Sandhagen's kryptonite. So, who can beat Dvalishvili? Dillashaw says Nurmagomedov (18-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC) can after giving him a competitive fight at UFC 311. Nurmagomedov won the first two rounds on two of the three judges' scorecards before Dvalishvili rallied to beat him by unanimous decision. "I think Umar could have beat Merab," Dillashaw said on the JAXXON Podcast. "I think when he fights him the second time, he's going to understand the push he's going to have to have to win that title. I think Umar can beat him. Sandhagen, I would love to see that fight next. I would obviously love to see (Aljamain) Sterling fight him just I think it would be sick, and I think like Sterling can give him a serious test and possibly beat him." Dvalishvili refused to fight Aljamain Sterling when Sterling held the bantamweight title. Dillashaw thinks friendships should be put to the side when it comes to the UFC title. "I would love to see Merab and Sterling fight," Dillashaw said. "They could make so much money. I understand that (they're best friends), but you're getting paid, who gives a sh*t? He (Sterling) should come back down. You're here to get paid, I don't know, I think it would be an awesome story." Dillashaw fought his former teammate Cody Garbrandt in two UFC bantamweight title fights, but it was after their relationship soured when Dillashaw parted ways with Team Alpha Male.

Back in win column, Jamey-Lyn Horth angles for home Vancouver fight after UFC Atlanta
Back in win column, Jamey-Lyn Horth angles for home Vancouver fight after UFC Atlanta Show Caption Hide Caption UFC on ESPN 69: Jamey-Lyn Horth post-fight interview UFC on ESPN 69 winner Jamey-Lyn Horth talks to MMA Junkie and other reporters post-fight after her decision win over Vanessa Demopoulos in Atlanta. ATLANTA – Jamey-Lyn Horth met the media Saturday after her unanimous decision win over Vanessa Demopoulos at UFC on ESPN 69. Horth (8-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) dominated Demopoulos (11-8 MMA, 5-5 UFC) in the standup game and landed nearly three times the amount of total strikes, which led to a scorecard sweep and a trio of 30-27 scores. Horth was a heavy 7-1 favorite going into the fight and got back in the win column against a short-notice opponent in Demopoulos, who stepped in to save the bout after Tereza Bleda pulled out. Horth said she wants to take her momentum and carry it into a fall fight in Vancouver in her home Canadian province of British Columbia. "I'd like to fight as often as possible. I'm not scared to fight. I'm always in camp. I'm always training. The UFC's coming to Vancouver, and that's my backyard. I'd be super stoked to be put on that card, and I think that's a pretty good turnaround – four months. Just (to be on) the card itself would be great. I've fought at 135 and 125, so I'm not scared to be at either one." Horth came to the UFC unbeaten as an LFA champion, but has alternated wins and losses for her five fights in the promotion – all decisions. Check out Horth's post-fight news conference in the video above.
