They locked horns in a lightweight matchup at UFC Abu Dhabi. Aliev imposed his will on Davis on the ground for 15 minutes to earn a unanimous decision victory, marking the former’s fourth straight decision inside the Octagon.

Mike Davis addresses his comments after Nurullo Aliev’s UFC Abu Dhabi victory
The lackluster loss left Davis visibly frustrated. “Beast Boy” subsequently lashed out in a now-deleted Instagram video.
“For the UFC, I thought you were cutting wrestlers, bro, all they do is suck d*ck for 15 minutes,” Davis said. “What are we doing? You have been cutting people on undefeated streaks all the time for wrestling. This isn’t RAF. This is g*y, bro… G*y people in the UFC, get them the f*ck out of here. Stand with me, I just want to bang, bro.”
However, Davis (12-4) has since apologized to Aliev (12-0). He was admittedly frustrated with the loss, even more so as he was allegedly sick going into the fight.
“[Nurullo Aliev], hopefully you see this. I understand you were being a nice guy in the end- amazing sportsmanship,” Davis wrote on X. “In the heat of the moment, I was/am severely disappointed in myself. In what I went through to help the @ufc by flying out here, while sick and injured. Disappointed in what I was told before the fight, Disappointed that I wasn’t able to give them what they wanted and secure my dream. I hope you never have to experience the pain of a loss. Its not your fault, you did what you are extremely good at and it worked. I respect that. I respect you. I appreciate you for taking the fight and being present in it all. I apologize for what i said. Im a damn good fighter and my frustration took over and my fear of not being able to help my family made me act out. Wish you great success brother.”
However, Davis has still not changed his opinion about the fight. He doesn’t think it was a dominant win for Aliev, as the undefeated Tajik barely landed any damage.
“If I did nothing and he did nothing who the f*ck got dominated,” Davis wrote in a later X post. “Its embarrassing that you can win a fight by stalling. You can’t even call that wrestling. He just held onto me from bell to bell. Even gave him option to break off and strike me free of charge and he just keep holding on. We are in the entertainment industry. We get paid when we make the crowd scream. Were you genuinely entertained by that? I would seriously like to know”
Davis has now dropped two of his last three fights. Meanwhile, Aliev has finished only two of his 12 career wins so far.
