Eight People Sentenced To Prison In Usman Nurmagomedov And Merab Dvalishvili Brawl
Ten people have been convicted in the Yas Island hotel brawl between Usman Nurmagomedov, members of his team, and Merab Dvalishvili.
Abu Dhabi Judicial Department said in a statement (via The National) that six defendants were sentenced to six months in prison, fined Dh300,000 each, and ordered to be deported after serving their sentences for disturbing public security, causing panic, and endangering lives.
Two other people involved in the brawl were sentenced to six months in prison, fined Dh300,000 each, and ordered to be deported “for violating privacy by using information technology to film and publish footage of the brawl.”
Two others were only fined Dh50,000 each for “disturbing public security and assaulting others.”
It was also ordered by the court that phones were to be confiscated and footage was to be deleted.
The incident took place on Wednesday when Nurmagomedov and his team approached Dvalishvili, leading to a brawl at the hotel. Dvalishvili was scheduled to compete for Real American Freestyle in Abu Dhabi on Saturday. Nurmagomedov was not competing, but was to corner his brother at the event.
