The Georgian began ascending the scaffolding to join the worker for a selfie. Dvalishvili is currently in Philadelphia as he will face Henry Cejudo at RAF 08 (Real American Freestyle) this Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond this weekend\u2019s wrestling duties, Dvalishvili is actively campaigning for a third fight with Petr Yan to avenge his December 2025 defeat. At UFC 323, Yan reclaimed the bantamweight title by handing Dvalishvili a unanimous decision loss. Merab is currently nursing a fractured nose sustained during a recent sparring session. Despite the injury, he has remained active in his wrestling preparations.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Merab climbed up the side of a building to take a picture with a fan who was window cleaning \ud83d\ude2d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be nervous brother.
