“Fans and friends listen to this guy now @PetrYanUFC, never believe a word he says just admitted he doesn't write his own social media.Said he never said see you friend or said speedy recovery friend yesterday on twitter 'wasn't him'. How quickly he changed his mind thought he was humbled when i beat him in 2023 and i was friendly toward him. Forget it now liar game on.”

– via X, calling Petr Yan a "liar" for denying their previous friendly exchanges and criticizing him for associating with people who Dvalishvili accuses of misconduct.

“I invite him as a friend, and now he makes these bullsh*t [comments]. I don't understand. He'd rather live in Thailand with all the l*dyboys. He's crazy. He has a wife and a beautiful family; if he wants women, that's no problem. We are living in beautiful [Las] Vegas, women are never an issue here. I don't want to go to Thailand with all the l*dyboys, that's why i've never been there”

– via the UFC WeighIn Show, hitting back at Petr Yan's comments about his jacuzzi sessions and questioning Yan's training in Thailand.

“Petr, you are better than this, bro. Stop making excuses. Please, no excuses. When I beat you on dec. 6, what excuse are you going to make? Tell me now... Are you going to make an excuse when I beat you again? Tell me now, please. Are you going to make any excuse? Are you going to make an excuse on dec. 6 or not? Tell me now, please... Do you have any injuries now”

– Merab Dvalishvili, going "ballistic" on Petr Yan for making excuses and challenging him to reveal any new excuses ahead of their rematch.
