UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili has surprised fans by stepping out of the Octagon and into the world of Punjabi music with a cameo in superstar Karan Aujla’s next music video. A now-deleted brief clip of the Georgian fighter arriving on set in Canada has already ignited an online frenzy, as viewers eagerly anticipate seeing “The Machine” alongside one of India’s biggest recording artists.
In the video posted on social media, Dvalishvili greets the camera with his trademark stoicism before breaking into a wide grin. “Great quick trip to Canada to be in @karanaujla new music video this weekend! Next time I will hope to stay longer!” he says, promising more behind-the-scenes moments once production wraps.
Karan Aujla- whose string of chart-toppers has made him a global phenomenon – shared the clip on his Instagram Stories, teasing fans with a snippet of the upcoming single’s audio track.
Reactions poured in from both MMA and music communities. One viewer joked, “Only Merab could land a fight and a feature with equal swagger,” while another praised the champion’s willingness to experiment outside his comfort zone.
Though details about the song’s title and release date remain under wraps, insiders suggest the video will debut later this month, timed to coincide with Aujla’s international tour.
Production sources describe a cinematic approach, featuring dynamic camera angles and vibrant set pieces that showcase Merab performing basic dance moves, intercut with clips of his rigorous training regimen. This contrast is expected to highlight the fighter’s dual identity as both a world-class athlete and a newcomer to Bollywood-style music videos.
For Dvalishvili, who recently defended his bantamweight title with a display of relentless pressure and superb takedown defense, this artistic detour represents a chance to connect with a broader audience. As he prepares for his next UFC challenge, the champion’s foray into music points to an expanding personal brand that transcends mixed martial arts.
Whether the collaboration will spawn similar partnerships remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Merab Dvalishvili’s star power is now lighting up arenas both inside the cage and on the dance floor.
