Merab Dvalishvili Recalls Returning to Construction After First UFC Bonus

Dvalishvili revealed he quit construction after earning his first $50K (Fight of the Night vs. Ricky Simon in 2018) bonus, sharing it with coaches, his manager, and his brothers, even buying a car. But after six months without a fight, the money was gone, and he returned to construction. Now he defends against Sandhagen this Saturday, far removed from those early struggles.
