Merab Dvalishvili compared to how Nina Drama felt while he was taken to a two-weight UFC champion that he defeated on his way to his world title.
The Bantamweight Champion is preparing himself on his second defense of his UFC title against former champion Sean O'Malley on UFC 316 next weekend. During the preparations, O'Malley took everything out of the closet, including training with legends and giving up social media and other vices.
Dvalishvili, on the other hand, had a difficult camp with broken toes and other issues, including a struggle for motivation. However, he looked in great form when he invited Nina Drama influence in the gym for a film session.
Merab Dvalishvili compares Henry Cejudo and Nina Drama in a comic gym video
In a new video on the YouTube channel of Nina Drama, the controversial influencer Merab Dvalishvili came to visit in the gym. She went through a 'sparring session', including a moment when he dropped her on her head.
He showed off the technique he used to wear Henry Cejudo over the Octagon for Mark Zuckerberg back on UFC 298. And when he asked the social media star how she felt, he managed to compare the two in one way or another.
“She got scared,” Dvalishvili noted before she asked her how she felt when she was on his shoulder. When she replied that she was 'terrified', he answered for the joke: “That's how Henry Cejudo felt when I held him.”
Merab Dvalishvili struggles for motivation on UFC 316
Despite O'Malley's protests, there is a general conviction that Dvalishvili not only won at UFC 306, but he did this decisively at night. As a result, the hunger for a rematch is without the former champion deserving it with a different victory.

Even the champion feels this and tells Michael Bisping on the Bym -Podcast during the week that finding full motivation is difficult. “In my professional career this is my first rematch,” said Dvalishhvili. “In Georgia I fight pro -rules, but those fights are not on my official record.
“So I had a rematch at the start of my career before. And that does not count because I was so new in the game. Now it is the first rematch of my professional career. To be honest with you, I have already beaten him and it is difficult to be 100 percent motivated, you know?”
