Video: Merab Dvalishvili manhandles same influencer Sean Strickland punched out in sparring

Sneako can’t assist however take a beating.

If getting completely throttled by former Final Preventing Championship (UFC) Middleweight champion, Sean Strickland, in sparring isn’t sufficient, go forward and attempt to grapple top-ranked Bantamweight contender, Merab Dvalishvili. That’s precisely what social media influencer, Sneako, just lately tried.

Though a bit extra playful than Strickland, Dvalishvili had his method with the streamer and rag-dolled him at will earlier than he sank in a rear-naked choke. The video of the temporary change will be seen within the embedded participant above.

One would have thought Sneako realized his lesson after the tough and questionable expertise in opposition to Strickland, however he’s at the least keen to make … some kind of effort in attempting in opposition to world-class opponents. I assume. All of us have to begin someplace. I’m not so certain that is the perfect place, relying in your stage of dedication.

Dvalishvili, 33, is contemporary off one more stellar victory that prolonged his profitable streak to a Bantamweight division document 10 straight (17-4 total). “The Machine” overcame some early adversity in his current combat and scored a unanimous determination nod in opposition to the previous two-division UFC champion, Henry Cejudo, at UFC 298 this previous weekend (Feb. 17, 2024).

Coincidentally, Sneako may not find yourself being the final streamer or big-name social media determine that Dvalishvili will get his palms on. The Georgia native seems (lastly) destined for his first profession title shot, which might come reverse the present 135-pound champion, Sean O’Malley, if he efficiently defends his title in his rematch with Marlon “Chito” Vera at UFC 299 subsequent month (Sat., March 9, 2024).

It additionally may not, if O’Malley has his method.
