Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Merab’s Relentless Activity and Mindset

• Fighting Four Times in a Year

  • Merab shrugs off the notion that fighting so frequently is abnormal for him:

    “No, actually, no. This is very normal for me. I love fighting and this is no problem. I would love to fight every, every week, you know, but you know what I hate? I hate weight cut.” (03:06)

  • The host marvels at the toll of repeated weight cuts. Merab clarifies he had three weight cuts last year, demonstrating his remarkable resilience (03:26).

• Training Habits: Sparring on Fight Day

  • Merab prefers real sparring over traditional fight-day shakeouts, often with no headgear:

    “For me, the best training is sparring. Real sparring, you know…” (03:57)
    “Now he likes to get cut. It makes him feel ready.” (04:50)

  • He finds headgear restrictive—“It’s not the same, you know... when you have a headgear, maybe you get hit when you shouldn’t because it doesn’t hurt as bad...you don’t wrestle the same.” (05:02)

2. Championship Mentality & Fighter of the Year Candidacy

• The host posits that Merab should be considered Fighter of the Year regardless of his next bout’s outcome, given three successful title defenses:

  “That’s up to you guys like you, you know … My job is to train hard and fight hard. It’s up to media, up to you guys to decide if I am or not.” (05:54-06:07)

• Discipline vs. Balance

  • Merab discusses disciplined training camps contrasted with post-fight indulgence, emphasizing the necessity of balance for long-term happiness:

    “If I’m, like, strict every day—I will be tired too. I’m a regular person, but because of my balance in life and training … that’s why I wanted to long term, not like a quick ... I want a long term.” (08:43)

3. Work Ethic & Confidence

• The host references coaches and fighters like John Wood and Aljamain Sterling, who highlight Merab’s legendary work rate:

  “Nobody works like him. Guys that I respect tell me that there’s not a person in the world that can outwork you in the gym.” (10:07)

• Merab humbly acknowledges there are people who beat him technically but credits his own hard work for comfort and confidence in fights:

  “But exactly because I work hard in the gym ... that’s why I’m so comfortable in the fight.” (10:12)

4. The Petr Yan Rematch – Adjustments & Gameplan

• Recapping the Previous Fight
  • The host breaks down Merab’s relentless 50 takedown attempts, but notes Yan’s strong defense.
• Strategy for the Rematch
  • Merab:

    “I think this time I am much better to control. I control guys down … And yeah, my goal is to, you know, stop him and finish him. Either it’s striking or … on the ground, maybe TKO him.” (11:46–11:56)

  • On what Yan needs to do:

    “He has to [knock me out] … Otherwise, no, I’m coming. I’m going to attack his head or his legs … I’m going to bite him!” (12:31–12:39)

5. Relationships with Rivals: Petr Yan, Umar Nurmagomedov

• On Petr Yan

  • Merab now respects Yan after prior animosity:

    “I was cheering for him … You know, when you fight somebody ... then he wins, that makes you look [good].” (12:55–13:34)

• On Umar Nurmagomedov

  • Discusses how Umar allowed someone else to tweet from his account, calling Merab a “fake champion” and feeling disrespected by that:

    “He let somebody use his Twitter to send you message. Yeah. To disrespect me. He called me fake champion.” (14:24–14:35)

6. Reflecting on the Rematch Dynamic

• The host asks if rematching a tough opponent like Petr Yan gives Merab an edge, as seen in his finishing Sean O’Malley after a decision win their first fight:

  “That’s the goal. Yeah, I want to finish him, but who knows?” (21:40)

7. On Activity Level and Criticism

• The host references Chael Sonnen stating four title fights in a year is almost “disrespectful to the sport” for being unheard of.
• Merab’s response:

  “Hey, but like I said, I love fighting. If there is no weight cut, I would like to fight more often. So, yeah, I guess it’s possible. Depends how you want it. Depends how you love it. And I love. I really love. I really enjoy.” (22:19–22:26)

8. Life Outside the Cage—The Search for “Wife Material”

• On dating, Merab confirms no more apps—still searching, but hasn’t found “the one." He values quality and character over looks:

  “There is so many great women, but there is not only one. My wife yet.” (23:09) “No, just … wife material. And yeah, it’s a priority. It’s just … wife material.” (23:46–23:50)

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Thank you for joining me Marab. I appreciate you Guys, I'm here with the champ, Marab, the Machine. The Wallace. Willie. Yo, man, this, this has got. This is crazy. Like four times in one year. Like, come on, Rob, this has to be crazy, at least to you, right? A little bit crazy.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

No, actually, no. This is very normal for me. I love. I love fighting and this is no problem. I. I would love to fight every, every week, you know, but you know what? You know what I hate? I hate weight cut.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Yeah, of course. But then, but then you do the weight cut four times in a year, and that kind of. That kind of sucks.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

I cut weights three times last year I fought Henry, and then three weeks after, I was backup fighter, and then I fought tighter, you know. And the last year also, I cut three times.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

It's all good. Hey, did you really spar five rounds on the day of the fight last time?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Yes, I did. And I tell you why. Because usually we all fighters, Saturday morning, we all do shakeouts, right?

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Shakeout. Yep.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Warm up, Warm up. But.

Like, for me, the best training is sparring. Real sparring, you know, like. And then, and then fight was here in Vegas and I trained at Syndicate. We have full octagon. Usually we do this in hotel, like, you know, Stupid, man.

[DJ Wells]

Yeah, yeah.

[PayPal Advertiser]

Bad.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

It's like not good.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Like not good. And then here.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Or like, right by a treadmill. One treadmill. You spar. Maybe hit the treadmill. Yeah. You get good cage.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Never good. So here, Vegas and I go, my gym syndicate and we have beautiful octagon. Two good training partners. And I beat both of them. I mean, I spun five rounds.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

You put headgear.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

No, no, John.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Yo, that's irresponsible. That's irresponsible by the. You coach. He's never done it. It's not broke.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Don't fix it. I can't make this guy do anything.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

He's.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

If I tried to put headgear on him.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Oh, my God. You don't wear headgear in sparn.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

I used to before. Like when I used to get cut and I was wearing. And after throw away. Now he likes to get cut. He makes him feel ready.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Why don't you like to. Why don't you like the headgear?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

It's not same. It's not same, you know, I don't know you. Why? I mean, I'm, I'm. I'm getting older and I'm more smart fighter. I don't damage my spy partner. I don't get damaged, you know, it's good. It makes it more sharp, you Know when you have a headgear, you maybe.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

I don't know, sometimes you get hit when you shouldn't because you have the headgear and it doesn't hurt as bad.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

You don't see much. You don't. You don't wrestle same. You know, you don't. You don't need not. You don't. It's extra something. It's not.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

I was asked a question the other day. You've already defended the belt three times this year, right?

You win this weekend, it's unquestioned. You're the fighter of the year. But someone made the statement that regardless of the outcome on Saturday, Merab should be the fighter of the year because you've already defended the belt three times. Do you agree with that?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

That's up to you guys like you, you know.

You have a great champion as yourself and you have a great experience. Whatever you, you, you guys decide this if I am or not. Like me.

I am just focusing for fight. And my job is to train hard and fight hard and do my best, you know, and it's up to media, up to you guys to decide if I am or not. And I don't have no problem if I will be or not. You know, I will just take it.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

When you are done with a fight. Because I famously once went to your house on the day after a fight. You were running. I get doing like cardio and strength. How quickly are you back in the gym sparring and grappling after a fight? Like, how much time are you taking off between these fights? Because there is something to letting your body reset before you start getting ready for another fight.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Yeah, I agree. Like after the fight, of course, you don't have motivation to be gym and then drill, same technique and like do jiu jitsu. And you don't have much because you don't have fight. Usually you don't know when you're gonna fight next. But like, what is this is so me being very disciplined. Like last three months, training for the upcoming fights. Eat right, you know, doing my best. You know, I balance.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

I saw you smelling food the other day. Were you smelling the food?

I was like, what?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

And so, but like me usually very strict, you know, like eating best, training hard every day, couple couple sessions, like two times a day. And. And then after the fight.

You don't have a fight. You sit in the couch, you eat snacking all day, every second. And you know, I need to work out, you know.

Because if I was such a good shave, I cannot be like, just sit and eat in a get fat or get lazy, you know, So I need to even I'm not going gym and training in like jujitsu techniques or like striking techniques, but I need to at least run or lift or something to active, like to go or swimming or something, you know, something to do.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

You know, One of the things that makes you special and make people draw to you is that you are a little crazy, right? So you're sniffing the food, right? Like you said, you eat the best that you can. But it feels like if you're eating the best that you can, that cheat meal, it kind of helps your mind, right? Even if it's not much, when you fall off the board a little bit, it helps the mind. Do you find that having that little bit of.

Not a straight line, right, you'll go left and right, you think that that helps you especially not only in life, but in your fighting style?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Absolutely. D.C. yes, that helps me because that's why I'm a happy fighter. You know, this way I'm not like when I'm not too much trick. This way I'm more happy. And that's why I'm willing to fight many more years. Because if I'm like streak every day, like each streak or training streak or like go straight, I will be tired too. I'm a regular person, but because of my balance in a live in training and everything, that's why I'm more happy and that's why I wanted to long term, not like a quick. I'm not like, oh, I'm not like, oh, like next fight and I'm done. I'm like, I want a long term. But this, this way I balance, you.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Know, you, the balance is important. But you also said that.

You also said that when you're training you are as focused as anyone, right? You balance with the other things. But inside the gym, there's no one like Merab, right? You're working harder than anybody. How much confidence does that give you going into the Octagon? Because people go, well, Merab's not tired. I'm like, merab's probably tired a little bit. But Merab also knows that he works harder than you. And if he's tired, he knows that you're tired. How much confidence does that give you knowing that you're out working? I mean, I'm hearing this from everybody, from John Wood, Al Jermaine, who's a beast, they're telling me nobody works like him. Guys that I respect tell me that there's not a person in the world that can outwork you in the gym.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

No, there is guys that can beat me. Some technical, some positions. Especially when we go in positions works there, of course guys beat me. Me, even Aljo. But, but yes, you're right. Like, but exactly because of. I work hard in the gym. I know I put work. I was not lazy. I, I don't skip the training and I was doing my best. That's why I'm so comfortable in the fight. Because sometimes like a week before fight I don't feel best. I'm. I don't doing like a very good, like some, some squatting sessions. But. But I know the fight AI will show up and I will do because I was training hard and yeah, I was not.

You know, I was doing best in training.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

But now you're finishing guys. Now you're finished. You're not only winning fights, you're finishing guys and you're dominating them. That brings us back to Peorian, right? You've now gotten yourself back to a point where you're fighting a guy that you fought before, Virgin Hotel. I called the fight. You took 50 shots, 50 times. You shot on pean over 25 minutes. What can you take from that fight and apply it to this one? Now, let me play devil's advocate here. You got 11 of those 50. So technically he was very successful with his takedown defense. And when you got him down, you weren't able to keep him down. He was able to get back to his feet. How do you change that as you approach this fight?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Yeah, you're right.

Yeah. So I think this time I am much better to control. I control guys down and also.

I think I'm much better fighter. I'm sure he's, he's much prepared, much better prepared for. And yeah, my goal is to, you know, stop him and pinch him. Either it's striking or, you know, underground, maybe TKO him. That's my goal, you know, so I believe I'm much better now and that will be my goal. But we'll see. It's a fight. I respect Peterian as a fighter. You know, he's killer and, you know, fight can go, you know, who knows, you know, who knows he can knock.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Me out too, but is that the only way to win? Does he have to knock you out to win?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

I believe so. He has to like. Yeah. Otherwise, no, I'm. I'm coming.

I'm going to attack his head or his legs or is, you know, I'm going to, I'm going to bite him.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Marav isn't it. You just started liking Ponan too. Remember you told me the other day, you just started like, okay, now I don't dislike Pon. And now you guys have to fight.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

I know it's hard. You know it's hard because, yeah, he's been like, I don't know. He beat Davison Figueiredo and he did. Speech. Merab, you said if Davison Figueiredo wins this fight, he was supposed to be number one contender. Now I beat Davison Pigueredo. What he's saying now. And I'm like. And he was respectful, you know, like. And like, okay, Peter. No, I was. And then every fight he was fighting, I was chatting for him, you know, let's go, Peter. We, you know. You know when you fight somebody and either you lost against him or win, then he wins. That makes you look.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's go.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Only guy I don't cheer for is. That was Umar. You know, when he was fighting Bautista, I was cheering for both.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

These days, you still. You still like. No. You still don't cheer for Umar?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

A little spoil. He says, okay, you tell me, would you let your friend or anybody tweet for you? Like say, from your Twitter, you know, or threats make somebody. Let's say if. I say.

If. If somebody disrespects somebody from your Twitter.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Like, talks like you have to say something.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

No, no. Would you let somebody tweet from your.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

No.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Or social media?

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Nobody.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Yeah, see, he did. He did.

[Hard Rock Bet Advertiser]

He did.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

He let somebody use his Twitter to send you message. Yeah. To disrespect me. He called me fake champion. He said, well, I don't think.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

I don't think you're a fake champion.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Thank you so much.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

This is like the. Yeah, you're not a fake champion. I mean, you've beaten everybody.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Yeah.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

You won what, 13 in a row?

[Snapdragon / Amazon Advertiser]

14.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

14 in a row.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Yeah, yeah.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

It's like Islam, right? Islam just like tied a record and now you're like right behind him.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Yeah, yeah. He's 16, I'm 14. And yeah, I have a.

One short notice fight and it was one catch weight. So one, we have a catch weight fight, about 13 wins in Phantomweight, but one catch weight.

Does Saturday night look like between you and Pean? How? I mean, because honestly the last time he just was constantly under attack where he never could get his offense going. Do you, do you feel watching him that he's made the type of adjustments that he needs to stop you from attacking him in the way that you do? Henry Cejudo just told me the way to fight you is, is to fight in the center of the octagon. He said he felt like the first round he did okay because he was able to go side to side but stay in the middle and not go backwards. Do you, I mean, do you agree with that?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

I agree. Actually after the first round I know how I was supposed to fight against Henry Cejudo and then pressure like I was using my front kick to push him back backwards.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Yeah.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

And then yeah, just throwing crazy punches and shooting shoot him. So I make the adjustment in the, in the fight because I remember we was preparing like with Coach Wood this fight and we was working some other techniques but these other techniques that wasn't working. And then, and then we just make adjustments like you know, after first round how to fight him when it was working. And yeah. So Henry said hey though. So now let's go back to Peter Yan. Who knows he.

The same opponent but the fight could be totally different.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Does he look different? Does he look better than he did before you fought him the first time or does he look like the same guy?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

He looks the same guy. But.

I also remember myself, I Was like, different guy, too, and different mindset. And also, who knows, he may be prepared for me. Different, you know, who knows? He may be like, I don't know, he maybe do something else. Like, maybe he move too much. Something else.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Your last rematch was against Sean o'. Malley. You went from fighting him in a fight that was not competitive, but it was a decision to finish him. Do you think that just a second time in the octagon with you will lead to worse results for the guy? Because you know what they feel like now. Like, when you think about Pean and knowing that you spent 25. I remember that fight. You were smiling so much going to the Octagon. I couldn't believe how happy you were when it was like the hardest fight of your life at the time. You seem so confident going into that. Do you feel like you can finish Peorian this Saturday?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

That's the goal. Yeah, I want to finish him, but who knows? Who knows? I want to finish.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Yeah. Four times. Hey, Jail son is said right, that four title fights in a year is almost disrespectful to the sport because not. People aren't supposed to do that. People aren't supposed to fight that frequently. People aren't supposed to cut the weight that many times. Not supposed to step on the line that many times in one year. And there is a segment of fans or people around the world that go, well, it is kind of crazy because it's something we've never seen before. Like, what do you say to that? To people that go, well, he's fighting too much, which doesn't make sense.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Hey, but like I said, I love fighting. If there is no weight catch, I would like to fight.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Yeah.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

More often. So, yeah, I guess it's possible. Depends how you want it. Depends how you love it. And. And I love. I really love. I really enjoy. Like I tell you, I balance, you know, I don't. I don't live, like, strict lifestyle, you know, And I enjoy. I still enjoy with my friends. I enjoy food, and I enjoy life. You know, I'm not. Yeah, I. You know, I. You know, other than. Other than looking for a wife, I don't have any. Serious.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

I was gonna ask you that. Like, any luck with that? Because the last time we talked, you said that you were done with the apps, and you're gonna find a good wife. Any.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

There is so many great women, but there is not only one. My wife yet.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

So here's the problem. If you're looking for a wife, you can't have so many.

That'S when you get to have so many women. But I haven't identified which one is going to be my wife yet.

Robbie Cannon.

[Merab Dvalishvili]

I said there is, there is. Of course there is. So many women's beautiful.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

You want a beautiful woman?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

No.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

Do you want a beautiful woman? You want a beautiful. Does she have to be beautiful?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

No, my wife has to be my wife.

No, I. No, just, you know, wife. No, I. No, I don't want to put that way. You know, like, just has to be wife material. And yeah, it's a priority. Is just. Just wiping material.

[Interviewer / Host (possibly Robbie Cannon)]

You haven't found one yet though?

[Merab Dvalishvili]

Not yet.
