Since his debut in the MMA world, Merab Dvalishvili has never failed to impress his fans, catching Dana White‘s attention on an episode of ‘Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight’. Dvalishvili wasted no time showcasing his potential by knocking out Raufeon Stots with a spinning back fist just 15 seconds into the fight, which led White to sign him for the promotion.

However, Merab Dvalishvili has not been without its challenges, particularly in his love life. There was a famous rumor in the MMA community that Dvalishvili was once set to leave his rising MMA career to marry a Georgian woman. Yet, something happened that led him to change his mind. The reason behind this decision remained unresolved until recently when Dvalishvili himself disclosed the details.

Merab Dvalishvili talked about the time he almost married a Georgian girl

Dvalishvili’s love story began in his home country of Georgia, where his MMA career first took off. Despite his outwardly happy and comedic demeanor, Dvalishvili has shown a serious side in matters of the heart. At one point, he even considered leaving MMA to pursue a more conventional life. He thought about getting a regular job, settling down with a Georgian woman, and living a normal life.

In an interview with 7Days Out, ‘The Machine’ revealed, “I was thinking no I should just maybe, I have a lot of fights in Georgia. I have not fights in here like if I don’t go UFC I must quit but I was thinking, yeah I will be just normal guy, I will just go like regular job, I will focus of job, at least this is guarantee and I go restaurants, I will go Club, I will go married and I try all that, I tried marrying a Georgian traditional girl, wasn’t working. She wasn’t my type, she was somewhere else and and I tried go club with my friends restaurants. I did all that fun but I wasn’t happy.”

Despite the challenges Merab Dvalishvili faced in his search for a life partner, they didn’t deter him from continuing his quest for love. While we don’t have the latest updates on the 33-year-old’s current relationship status, it’s clear that he’s always been open to the possibility of finding a special someone.

Merab Dvalishvili’s current relationship status: Is he single?

Although Merab Dvalishvili does not highlight his relationships, his social media accounts lack romantic posts and only feature updates about his training and other ventures. This suggests that the Georgian native is currently not in a relationship or married.

Despite his efforts, Merab Dvalishvili has faced many relationships that never progressed further, leaving him somewhat unlucky in love, much like Ted Mosby from HIMYM. In an interview with UFC figure Nina-Marie Daniele, ‘The Machine’ disclosed, “All the girls I was dating or texting, left me.” With this information, we can assume that our favorite UFC fighter might be a heartthrob for many, but finding his life partner may take a bit longer.

We don’t currently know whether Merab Dvalishvili is actively seeking a girlfriend or if he will find one. However, one thing is for sure: on September 14, ‘The Machine’ will step into the Octagon, seeking the opportunity to challenge the bantamweight division king, Sean O’Malley. The clash between these two titans at UFC 306: Riyadh Season Noche promises to be spectacular. Stay tuned for further updates.
