Mahdi on Merab Dvalishvili Incidents in Georgia and Abu Dhabi

Peace be upon you all, wa rahmatullah! Watching all of this unfold, I read all this hate, and I see it all clearly, I read everything.

Look, this video is exclusively for those who don't think with their emotions, but use their heads and think things through.

Look, this is for those who reason, and can tell right from wrong.

Look, yes, this situation here. For some reason, everyone there got all worked up.

Now suddenly everyone has woken up. But what about this situation in Georgia, when our brothers, fighters, came to Georgia to compete in grappling, and Merab hit our brother like this, from behind.

That hurt us deeply as brothers, as Dagestanis, as Muslims, it hurt us very deeply, because our brother was wronged there.

There were security guards and all that, but none of them paid it any mind, They just let it pass back and forth on news channels, and that was it.

And they thought that would be the end of it.

But everyone who knows about it, Georgians included, and everyone who thinks about where right ends and wrong begins, knew that there would definitely be consequences after this.

And Merab knew that perfectly well, too.

Merab is not a stranger to me. Until this happened, I felt deeply hurt when I saw this video about what happened in Georgia, I felt deeply hurt.

I even distanced myself from him after this situation, because of how he treated my Muslim brother there, in his own home, and didn't consider that he had Dagestani friends who would be hurt by it.

I want to tell you one thing: When we went to celebrate after Merab and Henry Cejudo's fight, a Georgian elder gave me the okay, a grown man, and he told me, "Mahdi, you know, guests like these, even if an enemy steps onto our land,

he's no longer our enemy. He's our guest, and we're not allowed to touch him as long as he's on our land."

And now here's this video from Georgia, where our brothers were treated like this, it seems.

Well, that's how it is. Security rushed in, the whole deal, they didn't even let them fight.

Good. And then this kind of thing happened in Abu Dhabi.

There weren't even twenty people there, there were four people, and Merab was with his friend.

Just two people, that's all. So now everyone's getting all riled up, saying, "Jackals attacked, rats," but think it through, if anyone's reasoning by the code, A lot of people there judge things by their own code, like what's right and wrong,

so judge for yourselves, then, what happened now and what happened back then.

Why did no one publicize what happened in Georgia back then?

Why is everyone latching onto what happened in Abu Dhabi now?

I completely understand, and I was very hurt too, when Merab, well, acted that way toward our brother.

But life is a boomerang, it always comes back when you do something outrageous.

Outrage is answered with outrage. So, of course, I'm not calling on anyone to do anything.

And I know a lot of Georgians whom I know and respect.

I greet them. We're brothers to each other, you know, Georgia and Dagestan, we've always been brothers, and we still are. We're one Caucasus.

But things like this really They cause rifts, they create cracks in our brotherhood.

So, brothers, before you write anything, think, put yourselves in that situation, and ask yourselves, what would you do?

That's all. It's very simple. Peace be upon you all.

Peace be upon you all.
