Dvalishvili (21-5) recently tried to prank customers at a gas station. The former Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight king wore a long-haired wig and makeup while posing as an employee.

Former UFC bantamweight champion can’t fool customers with a disguise
An unsuspecting customer told Dvalishvili, without recognizing “The Machine,” that it would be difficult for him to reclaim the bantamweight belt.
However, his prank failed on another customer, as the Georgian had to own up when a woman recognized him. The woman revealed that Dvalishvili’s nose gave him away.
Dvalishvili’s nose is slightly crooked due to years of wear and tear from fights and it took significant damage in his last bout. He defended his title thrice last year before losing to Petr Yan in a rematch this past December. Although unconfirmed by the UFC, they have both indicated that they’re set to run it back in a trilogy bout next.
🤣👃 Merab can’t prank his own people… his nose gives him away immediately😭:
🗣️ Merab: “How are you paying?”

🗣️ Merab: “Merab Dvalishvili.”
🗣️ Woman: “Your nose gave you away.”
