Merab Dvalishvili outlasts the ‘gorilla’ in wild gym showdown skit

UFC bantamweight kingpin Merab Dvalishvili does not fail to entertain fans inside and outside the octagon. In the middle of the now-viral 100 men vs. 1 gorilla debate, Dvalishvili shared a hilarious gym showdown skit, in which he overpowered the mighty beast.

In the skit, 'The Machine' was spotted in the gym with UFC bantamweight fighter Muin Gafurov, who was wearing the gorilla suit. 'The Machine' outclassed the gorilla on foot, landed a takedown, and eventually submitted the beast in the end.

Merab Dvalishvili demonstrates how he will beat a silverback gorilla

Previously, Merab Dvalishvili also weighed in on the ongoing 100 men vs. 1 gorilla debate. During an interview with the UFC, 'The Machine' jokingly asserted that he is confident that he can beat a gorilla since he trains regularly.

Dvalishvili said:

"One gorilla? It's easy, bro. I'm smart, I'm strong, I'm training everyday. You think I cannot take one gorilla? I'm gonna take my t-shirt off, my pants off, and then shoot, take him down, boom! Boom! Easy. I think I can take one gorilla. 600 pounds? Maybe inside trip."

At UFC 316, Dvalishvili is set to defend his UFC bantamweight gold in a rematch with former champion Sean O'Malley. When the two locked horns for the first time, at UFC Noche in Las Vegas, 'The Machine' dethroned 'Suga' via unanimous decision.

Since then, the Georgian has defended his strap once against Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC 311. Meanwhile, O'Malley was out of the octagon after losing his belt.
