In the first introduction of Merab Dvalishvili to Dana White, he immediately showed the UFC boss his eccentric and hilarious personality.
On June 7 at UFC 316, Merab Dvalishvili will defend his Bantamweight title for the second time when he remates Sean O'Malley in Newark, New Jersey.
Dvalishvili was recently worried about the UFC fan base when he placed images online of his training camp and shares images of him with a brutal cut to his eye.
Prior to their matchup, O'Malley was accused of benefiting Dana White Privilege, given that he did not fight since he lost the title to 'The Machine' on UFC 306.

Merab Dvalishvili danced for Dana White after earning UFC contract
Before he came to the Premier promotion, the Georgian Bantamweight made a name for himself in the regional scene.
After compiling a series of impressive victories, DvalishHvili was offered an empty Bantamweight title shot in Ring of Combat 58, against Suhrob Aidarbekov.
'The Machine' then won the fight with an arm bar in the second round, giving him his name.
He was then matched a few months later against Raufeon Stots at Ring of Combat 59 and the fight got it with even higher bet.
UFC boss Dana White flew specifically forward to see dots compete after catching wind of his skills and potential in sport, an episode of Dana White looking for a fight.
Nevertheless, Matt Serra, who films the episodes with White, was part of the Dvalishvili team and told the UFC boss to pay attention to him.
Only 15 seconds in their fight, Dvalishvili landed a huge rotating fist and stood dots in a shocking way.
After the event, White went backstage and told Dvalishvili that he would bring him to the UFC, which led to the Georgian broke out in dance for the UFC boss.
The relationship of Dvalishvili and Dana White has been doubtful since then
Since then, White has criticized Dvalishvili several times, especially when he and Aljamain Sterling refused to fight each other when Sterling was the UFC Bantamweight Champion.
In addition, last year, White Labeled Merab 'Dumb' when the UFC Bantamweight Champion posted images online of a huge cut that he sustained in training, weeks from his UFC 306 fight against O'Malley.
Dvalishvili then left the UFC boss behind when he continued to remove his own stitches with some garden scissors.
Their relationship has since apparently been improved with Dvalishvili as one of the more reliable UFC champions.
