Merab Dvalishvili has found a secret source that stands out in the UFC, but it’s not just about winning the battle. The bantamweight competitor, known for his relentless pace, became famous for his viral attitude as he did with his victory.
Merab about moving dvalishvili
“I realized when I was winning the fight and not having the opportunity to fight for the belt, I had to do something extra. I had to show my personality, not just my teammates,” Dvalishvili said in an interview with the UFC. So he notched things in social media and in cages.
Fans may remember the time they were thrown in like a pouch of potatoes by towering kickboxers in training videos. He, of course, bounced back, proving that he could take the be hit and still laughed about it.
Then there was his attempts to stare at him in the Playboy model, but it was more comedic, not intimidating, especially when the difference in height became apparent.
But it’s not just the outside of the octagon that Merab pays attention to. During the fight, he finds himself in a dominant position by choking Henry Sejude, and decides it is the perfect moment to chat with Mark Zuckerberg, who was sitting at the cageside. “When I was in a dominant position, like when I was holding Henry in a chalk and talking to Mark Zuckerberg and others…” he recalled. Only Merab can multitask under pressure like that.
And, of course, who could have forgotten to kiss? After a fierce buildup with Sean O’Malley, Dvalishvili planted it on his rival and quickly made the moment when he made a round online.
“Kiss Sean, yeah, it’s a viral moment! It’s fun, crazy, crazy. No one talks about the day of battle. Everyone talks about these moments,” he said. As Dvalishvili prepares for his next match at UFC 316, he made it clear: winning is a good thing, but making memories is better. Whether he’s working on, joking, or himself, Merab knows how to keep his fans talking.
