Former Georgian NBA star reacts to Merab Dvalishvili's latest skit with plush Sean O'Malley 

Former Georgian NBA star Zaza Pachulia has reacted to Merab Dvalishvili's latest skit, in which the newly crowned bantamweight champion trolls his rival Sean O'Malley once again.

'The Machine' faced off against 'Sugar' in the main event of Noche UFC 306 last weekend. What was expected to be a close affair proved anything but as Dvalishvili used his relentless pressure style and wrestling to nullify O'Malley's striking, winning the fight and the title via unanimous decision.

Before the pair faced off in the octagon, both Dvalishvili and O'Malley regularly trolled each other on social media, often posting skits at the expense of the other. During their skit battle, one of O'Malley's most popular was when he used a small plush-sized doll of the Georgian fighter and kicked it around.

Now, after becoming the champion, Dvalishvili has got his own back by sharing yet another skit about O'Malley, but this time, he was the one to use a plush doll of the now-former 135-pound king.

Dvalishvili's video went down a treat with fans but also appeared to catch the attention of former NBA star Zaza Pachulia. The Georgian is a big fan of the newly crowned bantamweight champion and was spotted in the comments section reacting to the skit. He wrote:

"Champ on and off the court @merab.dvalishvili 😂😂😂"

Merab Dvalishvili shares savage response to Sean O'Malley's claim he's still the champion

Merab Dvalishvili has pulled no punches in response to Sean O'Malley's claims he is still the bantamweight champion.

Following their UFC 306 clash, O'Malley took to social media to claim he won the fight despite being convincingly beaten by 'The Machine'. 'Sugar' then declared he would defend the belt against Umar Nurmagomedov next year. He tweeted:

"Round 5 I won. I am the champ. God is good. 1,3,5 round I won. Defending belt against Umar in Vegas June/July."

In response to O'Malley's claims, Dvalishvili uploaded the skit discussed above, in which he responded savagely to 'Sugar'.

"Sean? It's you, my friend? What's wrong with you, bro? Why you keep smoking, my friend? Now it's a sleep time for you... Listen, son, don't worry about this, Umar Nurmagomedov. I will take care of Umar. You are not a champion anymore, and I'm going to take your belt again. So you drive safe, son."
