Georgian football star Khvicha Kvaratskhelia publicly sided with his compatriot, MMA fighter Merab Dvalishvili, following an incident in Abu Dhabi, where he was ambushed and attacked by Russian Usman Nurmagomedov.

The Paris „Saint-Germain“ footballer posted an emotional message on social media, expressing his support for Merab and Saba Lazishvili, who was with him.

„Merab, Saba, thank you–we are with you! Once again, you showed the world what it means to be Georgian, a man, and a human being.

Unlike those who cowardly tried to defeat you by attacking from behind and under unequal conditions. That is not how men behave.

It is only natural that they failed and will never succeed in breaking Georgians.“
