At one point in his career, Dvalishvili faced financial struggles in professional MMA and considered quitting the sport to find a better-paying job and marry a Georgian girl.

"I was thinking, 'Yeah, I will be just a normal guy, I will go [for a] regular job... I will focus on job. At least this is guarantee. I will go to restaurant, I will go to club, I will [get] married, and I tried all that. I tried [marrying] a Georgian traditional girl. Wasn't working, she wasn't my type. She was somewhere else. I went to club with my friends, restaurants, I did all that fun. But, I wasn't happy."

Fortunately for MMA fans, Dvalishvili refocused on his MMA career. Although little is known about his romantic life, his journey through various stages has been well documented.

The Georgian fighter worked in the construction industry while pursuing his MMA career during his early years. At the age of 21, he moved to the United States. Despite facing early setbacks, he eventually fought his way to the pinnacle of the MMA world by becoming a UFC champion.


Merab Dvalishvili's actions have shown that he values his personal relationships more than professional success

Although he has not yet entered into marriage, Merab Dvalishvili has consistently demonstrated that he values personal relationships far more than professional success or financial rewards.

Despite being a top-ranked fighter, Dvalishvili chose not to challenge for the UFC bantamweight title while his teammate and close friend, Aljamain Sterling, held the championship.

Dvalishvili and Ilia Topuria are the first Georgian UFC champions. While many champions in recent years have sought to win titles in multiple weight divisions, Dvalishvili has made it clear that he would never compete against Topuria, as both represent the same country and share a strong friendship.
