Taking a break from his career after being defeated by Petr Yan and losing the bantamweight belt (up to 61,2 kg), Merab Dvalishvili seems to have difficulty dealing with the lack of adrenaline. After suffering a serious fracture to his nose recently, the Georgian caught the attention of fans by deciding to climb onto a building to greet a professional window cleaner in the city of Philadelphia. The moment was captured by streamer Stephania Ergemlidze last Thursday (16).

Without hesitation and without any protective equipment, Dvalishvili climbed the building's facade to approach the employee, who appeared to be a fan of the athlete. To reassure him, the former champion made a point of reminding him of the time when he combined his training routine with construction work to finance his career.
“Don’t get nervous, brother. I’m just an ordinary guy like you. Seven years ago, I also worked in construction,” said the Machine.

Police approached the former UFC champion.
Merab then managed to get off the bus without an accident, but ended up being stopped by some police officers who were passing by and noticed his reckless behavior. Despite the situation, the interaction was calm and everyone involved acted amicably, without further consequences.
This is not the first time the fighter has put himself in high-risk situations. Years before becoming champion, Merab went viral on social media after diving headfirst into a frozen lake and suffering a deep cut on his forehead. He is in Philadelphia to compete in Real American Freestyle 8, which will take place this Saturday (18). He will face Henry Cejudo in the main fight.
