This has ignited the fighting community’s interest in knowing about the bantamweight phenom’s personal details. Today, let’s take a look at the bantamweight #1’s romantic affairs and family matters.

What is Merab Dvalishvili’s current relationship status?

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. After all, he finally got the chance to fight for the championship belt.

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. So there is very little to talk about except for that one interview with Nina Marie-Daniele. Talking to the UFC’s social media influencer, ‘The Machine’ put forth a few details about his dating history. Let’s find out what he had to say.

All we know about 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.

Where is Merab Dvalishvili from? Family and more

Dvalishvili hails from the land of Tbilisi, the capital city of Georgia. Born to Amiran and Darejan Dvalishvili, ‘The Machine’ has proudly represented his family in his fights. Dvalishvili has maintained a low-key profile. He has seldom revealed facts about his family. But many fight fans have wondered about his religious beliefs. His family has ties with the Georgian Orthodox Church and the bantamweight phenom is a devoted Eastern Orthodox Christian.

However, the proud Georgian mixed martial artist had to move to the United States when he was 21 years old, in order to pursue his dream of becoming a well-known sanctioned fighter. But does this make him an American? Well, the bantamweight fighter has made it pretty clear that he loves both Georgia and the USA equally. After all, he carries both flags to show his love for the country that birthed him and the country that made him who he is today.

Now, Dvalishvili has found yet another mission to make his countrymen proud. He is set to land against Sean O’Malley and fight for the bantamweight championship belt at UFC 306. Will the Georgian-American sit on the bantamweight throne? Or will he face defeat at UFC Noche? Whatever the outcome, he is sure to receive hefty amounts of support from his loved ones.
