During the UFC 323 pre-fight presser, Merab Dvalishvili’s jacuzzi joke backfired, with his opponent, Petr Yan, responding savagely.
Dvalishvili invited Yan to his jacuzzi, but ‘No Mercy’ declined, stating that ‘The Machine’ prefers to hang out mostly with men and not with women.
The Georgian fighter said:
“You are welcome in my jacuzzi. You want to come jacuzzi after [the fight].”
In response, Yan quipped:
“You have plenty of people in your jacuzzi, I don’t need to be there… I feel like you should have girls in your jacuzzi instead of who you have… All you’ve got is boys in your jacuzzi… Honestly, I’ve never seen you with a girl at all.
