UFC bantamweight Merab Dvalishvili is clearly a thrill-seeker.
In a video posted on his Instagram, Dvalishvili can be seen standing on the ledge of a building. While the video starts off with him seemingly posing for a picture, the UFC bantamweight proceeds to throw a kick.
The most dangerous part of the video came when Dvalishvili tried to jump from the ledge to the balcony and his foot got caught in the railing. Thankfully, he tripped onto the balcony and managed to avoid falling down.

What's next for Merab Dvalishvili?
Merab Dvalishvili is one of the top contenders in the UFC bantamweight division right now. His last outing was against former champion Petr Yan earlier this year and 'The Machine' put on a dominant performance, winning the bout via unanimous decision. The Georgian now occupies the No.1 spot in the rankings.
The bantamweight title will be contested next month between Aljamain Sterling and Henry Cejudo at UFC 288. With his win over Yan, Dvalishvili has firmly put himself in title contention, but he has made it clear that he won't fight for the championship against his friend and training partner Sterling.
Ranked bantamweight contenders Cory Sandhagen and Umar Nurmagomedov have called for a fight against Merab Dvalishvili. With Sean O'Malley seemingly guaranteed the winner of Sterling vs. Cejudo, Dvalishvili needs one more win before earning his shot at gold.
