The noted UFC bantamweight Merab Dvalishvili had his last bout against his legendary colleague, Jose Aldo. The Georgian also managed to clinch a victory which marked the end of ‘Junior’s’ stupendous UFC career. The 32-year-old is known for his heavy striking skills inside the octagon. He has also put on his superb striking on display multiple times inside the octagon. Most notably, in his fight against Marlon Moraes at UFC 266.
Dvalishvili also showcased his true character in his fight with Aldo at UFC 278. He scored a lot of clean strikes and also absorbed a number of significant strikes from the former UFC Flyweight Champion. But both men put on a show of courage as neither of them gave up and the fight went to the judges’ scorecards.
There are hardly any blind spots from the fans when it comes to Dvalishvili‘s UFC and professional aspects. But, the flip side of ‘The Machine’s’ life, i.e. his personal life, continues to be in a state of haze for the fans. Much hasn’t been talked about or revealed regarding the outside UFC life of the Georgian, which keeps a lot of fans wondering. Here, we will try to take a brief look at the relationships and personal life of Dvalishvili.

Is Merab Dvalishvili married?
As far as the reports suggest, the 5′ 6″ UFC bantamweight, Merab Dvalishvili, isn’t married as of now. He started training in qartuli chidaoba (traditional wrestling), khridoli (transitional fighting), Sambo, and judo from an early age and visualized his dream of becoming a professional fighter, eventually. Now that he has managed to achieve his dream, he probably wants to invest all his time in it.
However, it’s also a fact that Dvalishvili hasn’t been pretty vocal about his relationships. Despite being well-active on Instagram, most of his posts are related to his training and professional ventures only.
Merab Dvalishvili’s dating history
As previously mentioned, Dvalishvili‘s Instagram is predominantly ruled by his professional life snaps and videos. But in one interview with the noted interviewer Nina, ‘The Machine’ drops a few hints about his dating life.

In the interview, Nina also put out a video and a snap of ‘The Machine’ frolicking with a group of girls. Answering a question by Nina about his dating life, Dvalishvili stated, “All the girls who I dating, texting, left me”.
From these words, fans might get the impression that ‘The Machine’ might have a history of dating. However, information about it seems to be almost inaccessible. Also, many fans might think that Dvalishvili might have detested dating after “all the girls” who he dated “left” him.
Everything you need to know about Merab Dvalishvili’s next fight
‘The Machine’ has been paired up against the Russian, Petr ‘No Mercy’ Yan for the main event of the UFC Fight Night 221. Dvalishvili will apparently carry a higher level of confidence into the octagon owing to his superb 8-fight win streak. On the contrary, his opponent, Yan, will be taking the Octagon after two consecutive losses from his previous outings.
‘No Mercy’s’ previous loss against the noted ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley at UFC 280 was criticized by a lot. It’s evident that Yan will not settle for any half-measures and will go for a clean victory this time.
The constant pressure which ‘No Mercy’ applies on his opponents shall never be taken lightly. Fans might expect to see mostly a standup fight on 11 March. Despite both the fighters having quite a well-rounded ground game, many fans might agree that both will prefer striking over going to the ground.
