Merab Made MEXICO PROUD
Henry’s story is inspiring and I’m def a fan, but Merab’s tenacity is just overwhelming. Found myself rooting for the machine Merab!
Merab deserve a huge endorsement deal from epo manufacturers
Merab's attitude and mentality are inspiring. Immigrant mentality to the fullest. Love to see his sacrefice and hard work finally paying off.
Love how embraces living in America, that always makes me happy to see and Merab is really funny glad his personality is getting showed more
@@drunkenmmamaster419I love how he embraces his country more than America and always shouts out his people. Authentic human being with a crazy work ethic
@@RawDogTV”we was kangs and slaves”
@@GKA11111what does that have to do with anything
One thing you gotta give Ariel, he gives props to fighters who don’t get enough media attention. Leon, Merab, Saint Dennis, etc
Is ariel allowed to go to events?
@@Mmafanufc12yes. He chooses not to
Why does it matter@@Mmafanufc12
It's not out of the goodness of his heart...
@@ZeusHunchonot true. Dana banned him for good. Ali also and his fighters boycotted him.
Man that flag is so badass. Can’t wait for him to win the title 🇬🇪👑
Merab is a true rags-to-riches story - hard work, dedication, and perseverance. He gritted his teeth and pushed through. Deserves all the blessings that come his way. Not only is he a top-tier fighter, but also a true humble and loyal friend.
Merab is so sick bro....this guy is the true boogie man of his division
Merab outwrestled the olimpic champion. Bravo Merab!
Yeah, a 37 year old flyweight lol
@@captainbeefheart5815Cope
@@captainbeefheart5815 merab is 33
@@Josh-vf2im How old is Cejudo?
@@Josh-vf2im In MMA you are not the same sitting out for that long. Not taking anything away from Merab’s momentum but this outcome was quite obvious. Henry should have stayed retired.
how can you not love this guy
This man has the innocence of a child, you can’t not love him 😂😢🥹
My new favourite fighter. The Machine! Love him
“When I broke the ice with my head” 😂😂😂😂 this guys hilarious
MARAB we love you bro . One day you will be champ because your humble
no, he is that good. humility does not make champs, but good people. merab is both.
Humility doesn't make champions...But he has a crazy gas tank.That counts
But Russian people hate him ...he is such a good friend n jolly all the time...
merab is the best. what a story. humble and generous heart. love this guy
Merab is adorable. You can see how kind and nice he is. It's almost wrong for someone who is so pure of spirit to be a fighter. Gotta love him.
Don't see any Bantamweight contenders beating this man anytime soon. Merab would've been champ if it wasn't for Aljo and Merab being brothers.
They call him "The Machine" for a reason. 💪
Umar... umar nurmagomedov
All machines break down at some point.
You guys talk like he was offered to fight with Aljo and he rejected it. He was not really in title picture until Yan fight. His fight against Aldo left bad taste.
Only way I see him getting beat soon is if Sean ko him early
They’re not brothers lol
Merab the Machine Dvalishvili.
That's correct
The EPO Machine*
very insightful comment
Incredible Merab. Fans are starting to love you(Those that thought you were boring.) I’m glad they came around.
Hard not to like Merab..
When Merab grabbed Henry and run, for one sec i thought he was taking him back to wall 😂😂😂
Merab is a definition of American dream
I LOVE THIS HUMAN
It’s hard not to!
Sean has a champion's belt.
Merab has a champion's mentality.
7:47 Merab looking to steal that jacket 😂
My new favourite fighter!!! 🇬🇧🙏
The guy's a beast. His phase is crazy. Congrats Merab!
Let’s go merat long live Georgia 🇬🇪
Merab is so cute when he smiles 😁. He is a really likeable person, very down to earth and funny.
Merab's stock has gone up big time after that last fight. He's showing his personality now, and I'd really like to see him fight for the title next.
This guy's truly a different level. Who's gonna beat him
Merab is the man. Love watching his fights
Future champ 🇬🇪
Gotta love Merab
Why this guy gets hate is funny to me. He pushes the pace from start ro finish.
Awesome guy💯💯
Merab is inspirational fr man.
Much love Merab!
great interview Ariel. appreciate the hard work you put in to prepare this for us fans!
It's a wonderful day for Georgia!!! Gowwwwwwmarjossssss=) Thank you for representing Georgia so perfectly Merab!
Hahaaaa =)).... Gaumarjosssss !!!!!!
@@thefatalveli1 I'm only a beginner at Kartuli. I try because my husband is Georgian and knows English well and i love the country and the language.
Merab you make all Georgians happy. You are the best machine brother!!!
I am so happy that finally fans are loving Merab.🎉
The Machine 💪🇬🇪
amazing journey towards belt, best of luck merab, gmerti shensken!
Really inspiring story!!
Let’s go Merab!!! Title shot time!!
What a great personality Merab..... The best in his division💥💥💥
Great inspiration 👍
Can't wait to see him as champ.
Merab!! My boy!!
Great performance by The Machine from Georgia!
Merab will be the favourite against O'Malley but Cejudo buzzed Merab in round 1. O'Malley is precise and I could see him finishing Merab in round 1.
I didn’t see the Cejudo fight but this is what I see happening when Merab fights O’Malley
Merab would be nightmare matchup for O'Malley.
We love "the Machine"!
Great guy. ♥️
Love this guy let’s go merab
Everyday Merab hustlin ! What a champion. Hes a problem for Sug.
WE LOVE YOU MERAB! ROLE MODEL.
Merab is the man!
A year ago i wouldve never expected Merab to be my favorite bantamweight fighter.
Especially because of the way he beat Aldo and with Omalley, Sandhagen and Aljo being in the devision.
Merab is just so funny, likable and a great fighter.
Madloba Merab dzma 🤍🤍🤍
WAR MERAB! 💪😤
Love Merab's personality and spirit. He's proof you can be a humble and respectful guy and be a KICKASS CHAMP (someday). Totally likable guy.
#MuchRespect #CHAMPattidude #Sportsmanship
He reminds me of Brandon Moreno and Stephen Thompson.
there's a lot of respectful and humble guys in the UFC. We just have this new breed of kids who are Conor copycats tho. O'Malley, Illia, and Garry openly admit to being inspired by and wanting to copy Conor. The difference is Conor was actually funny and had great charisma
Illia copied the back tattoo and grabbing the belt ffs
@@dranreb1118 why don't you want to be like Conor when he made SO MUCH MONEY
Machine🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Merab Dvalishvili is awesome!
Merab is the man at 135
Everyday I’m hussling - Merab
Ngl i never liked this guy but, his attitude and immigrant mentality is top notch. Much respect now Merab
Merab the future Champ, no doubt!
Mexican Merab is my new mythical fighter
Love this guy!! So many new great fighters. The Americans need to step up in fighting and charisma!
How can you not like Merab?!
Merabs humility beats most
Respect
Merab really is "the machine". My full respect to anyone that steps into the cage with him.
Merab is a 👑 most wholesome MMA fighter ever
Merabs invited to the carne asada 🇲🇽🇲🇽
merab the mashin dvalishvilii
Merab the "Demolisher Machine"
Meran getting hella views he really is building a great character in this top 3
Sean merab n Cory
If someone deserves it all, its this guy
Merab will be Champion dominant Champ 👑👏🏼🇬🇪
no way he isnt on EPO hes crazy talented and has great genetics too
Yeah watching his performance against Cejudo I was literally saying out loud “ he has to be on PED’s..”
Majority of the best athletes are
Doesn’t even look like he had a fight
Future Champ Merab! Let's go catch Suga/Chito from runninggggg
Merab is a nightmare for the 135 division. Go Merab!
I love Merob He will be the next Champion their aint no one beating him for a while. Merob is a champion already with a Championship of a solid charactor
What a G
Entertaining guy
Ariel asked a lot of the questions we seen at the post press conference
Another journalist of the year award coming for him
Merab is an adopted Long Island boy and we love him
Ariel thank you for always mentioning Georgia and their fighters in good light and giving them spotlight. You Truly represent the centuries of friendship that our two nations have.
I can remember when Dana gave Merab his contract on "looking for a fight". Incredible story..
He backed up Mex. & Defeated and retired lameass Cejudo -
I'm 110% cool with Merab all the way.
Glad he won 👏
Merab - I like the jacket 😂. Went over Ariel’s head.
Ariel, thanks for your support of merab and great words about Georgian people! Much respect! 🫡 all the best! Keep going✌️
Mexican Merab is one of my favourite mythical fighters
I hope Merab gets his title fight this year, while he is in his prime.
I love Merob,he is a good dude,and amazing wrestler and fighter.That was an awesome win this past weekend against Henry.He made that look easy.Merob is the next champ I believe.O’Malley is in trouble 😂😂😂😂😂
belal must have cried blood seeing dana big up merab and leon in one night
Merabs interview after being posted two hours ago has 11k views.
Ian’s interview has 4k after being posted at the same time.
That's not even good. Both videos are extremely low
@@ethanriice8456 as long as Ian Garry isn’t getting views I’m good
@@scottgoodwins life must suck if you bare rhat much sorrow🤣 goodluck
Merab vs Sandhagen would be 🔥
Gotta love all the subtle shade Ariel throws at Cejudo because hes one of Alis fighters 😂 you aint slick mr Helwani
All jokes aside does Merab not know Henry Cejudo was born in america and represents america dude won a gold medal at the Olympics for america 😂 😂😂😂😂
😂 Makes sense. I was wondering why he was uncharacteristically glazing Merab and figured it was because Dana not giving him a title makes Ariel stiff as a board.
Right? It's hilarious he's not fooling anyone. Snake
He's going to take the title!
