Merab Dvalishvili has been out of the octagon since losing his title last December to Petr Yan at UFC 323, but the former champion is always entertaining his fans outside the cage as well.
“The Machine” secured the bantamweight title back in 2024 with his unanimous decision victory over Sean O’Malley. He then went on to defend the belt in three consecutive matches through 2025 before suffering the tough decision loss to the now two-time champion Yan.
While Dvalishvili has been known to show off his climbing skills and fearlessness in the past, he has never done so to partake in a photo with a fan, which is exactly what he did with one construction worker this week while climbing up the front side of an office building.
Merab climbed up the side of a building to take a picture with a fan who was window cleaning 😭
“Don’t be nervous brother. I’m just regular guy like you. 7 years ago I was working construction too.”
