UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili took some time out of his constant training to be interviewed by one of the most colorful characters in MMA media, The Schmo. Having studied at Arizona State, The Schmo transitioned from covering football, and basketball to interviewing UFC fighters. Some of the first videos on his channel featuring MMA athletes include training sessions and an interview with then-bantamweight champion TJ Dillashaw back in 2018.
Since then, The Schmo’s presence in the UFC has grown exponentially, including interviews with UFC president Dana White and even marrying another familiar face in MMA media, reporter Helen Yee.
