Merab Dvalishvili is in India and he has been out and about exploring. Videos of Merab’s activity in the subcontinent are making it to the internet. One such video caught the attention of the MMA community online. The UFC fighter was seen trying out one of India’s popular street food. His reaction was priceless.
The X account @DovySimuMMA uploaded the video of Merab Dvalishvili standing in line at a pani puri stall to try out one of India’s most popular street foods. After putting one pani puri in his mouth, he warned one of his companions not to try it. Dvalishvili’s review was that in the beginning, he found it hot but as the flavor settled in he found it good. After two bites in, he was done.
No more this for me.
Merab Dvalishvili after eating 2 Pani Puri;s in India
This is Dvalishvili’s first time in the country and he definitely seems to feel comfortable to explore around. Dvalishvili is in India to promote the UFC’s first talent tour in the country. He is in Mumbai and he was previously intrigued by the sight of chaat vendors at Juhu Beach during his morning run. That was when he decided to try the street food.
Dvalishvili may not have a definitive fight yet but has been aiming for a UFC 306 showdown with Sean O’Malley. The bantamweight champion refuted anything being made official. However, we can expect the two to face off by the end of the year.

People found it amusing to see Merab Dvalishvili eating Indian street food. Food in India is spicy which gives it added flavor. However, it is a known fact that many cannot digest Indian food because of this as fans pointed this out in the comment section. One user asked if the UFC fighter was starting the weight cut already. Another user wrote that Merab’s biggest opponent that night was the toilet.
