The UFC's Bantamweight Champion was able to adhere to a decorated wrestler during a playful meeting on the beach.
Merab Dvalishvili is known for often concerning dangerous side-quests and remains the best in the world at 135 pounds.
His wrestling references speak for themselves with the champion as one of the most impressive wrestlers we have seen in the Octagon, to the point where Dvalishvili competes with the large Khabibic Nurmagomedov.
The Georgian recently had the opportunity to prove that again during a nice meeting with one of the most discussed wrestlers in the world who spent some time with Jon Jones before a potential transition to MMA.
Surprisingly, 'the machine' had remained relatively good, even though a man had a significant major advantage.

Merab Dvalishvili holds its own against Gable Steveson despite the enormous size difference
Gable Steveson is now the best wrestler in the United States, making it potential to see him compete in MMA, very exciting.
The former Olympic gold medal winner recently suffered a huge loss for Wyatt Hendrickson when he looked to win his third NCAA National Championship.
At the age of 24, standing on 6'1 and with a weight of more than 265 pounds, Steveson is a phenomenal athlete, but that did not mean that he could get the Bantam weight champion of the UFC better.
Merab Dvalishvili and Steveson were involved in a playful wrestling exchange on the beach during a recent promo shoot for the clothing brand Takedown with which they are both sponsored.
After he had given the American some advice about combining striking with wrestling, Dvalishvili indicated that it was time to become serious after he had given his phone away before he was back.
Although it has a big disadvantage if a 135-ponder that is 5'6, 'the machine' held more than his own and he almost assured a Takedown after Steveson lost his balance when he tried to stumble the champion.
Unfortunately for the Cardio King of the UFC, the larger man used his strength to lift Dvalishvili over him while he fell to prevent the Georgian from ending up at the top.
Merab Dvalishvili has the record for the most branchedowns tried in a UFC fight
Together with the record of the most Takedowns landed in the UFC history, Merab Dvalishvili holds the single record for the most Takedowns tried in one UFC fight.
'The Georgian' faced the former Bantam weight champion Petr Yan in his first main event in the spotlight in March 2023.
The fight was ultimately the best example of the ruthless pace that Dvalishvili is fighting to have tried a total of 49 Takedowns during the five-round duration.
He only succeeded with 11 of them, but in the process he closed 'no Mercy' by constantly giving him something to think about which in turn saw each round win on all three score cards.
