Merab Dvalishvili Confronts Heckler in Las Vegas MMA Event: “No, No, No…”
UFC bantamweight No. 1 contender Merab Dvalishvili shocked fans at the Chris Jones Invitational in Las Vegas when he climbed two barricades to confront a heckler who taunted him during the event.
The incident unfolded when rival Sean O’Malley appeared on the jumbotron. A fan shouted insults at Dvalishvili, prompting “The Machine” to leap into action. Viral footage shows the 33-year-old Georgian scaling gates and approaching the heckler, who quickly panicked, repeating “No, no, no, no,” as Dvalishvili got closer.
“Difference between a warrior and a keyboard warrior,” one fan commented on Instagram.
Once face-to-face, Dvalishvili glared at the heckler, briefly grabbing his hair before calming himself. Security quickly intervened, escorting him back to his seat.
The dramatic moment lit up social media, with fans both amused and stunned by the intensity.
“That was a million-dollar situation right there,” one user said, referencing the potential legal fallout.
The altercation adds new heat ahead of Dvalishvili’s anticipated clash with O’Malley—making one thing clear: this Machine doesn’t tolerate disrespect.
