Merab Dvalishvili To Feature In Karan Aujla's Music Video?
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.

Last Updated: Cha Eun Woo, known for hit dramas like True Beauty and My ID is Gangnam Beauty, enlisted on July 28 at the Korea Army Training Center in Nonsan. Cha Eun Woo, beloved K-pop idol and actor from ASTRO, is officially serving in the South Korean military, but fans are learning it's not been the smoothest start for the star. Just days after his enlistment, Eun Woo reportedly sent a message to his ASTRO bandmates that has raised both concern and affection online. On August 3, ASTRO's youngest member, Sanha, shared a humorous yet heartfelt anecdote about their group chat with fans. He revealed that on Saturday, August 2, Eun Woo used his allotted one hour of daily phone time to reach out with a plea: 'Eun Woo hyung suddenly said, 'How did MJ do it? Save me.'" He was referring to ASTRO's eldest member MJ, who completed his military service earlier. Sanha added with a chuckle, 'Even our physically fit Eun Woo hyung seems to be having a hard time. But I think he's adjusting well." Cha Eun Woo, known for hit dramas like True Beauty and My ID is Gangnam Beauty, enlisted on July 28 at the Korea Army Training Center in Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province. He will undergo two weeks of basic training before officially joining the military band for the rest of his 18-month mandatory service. He is expected to be discharged by January 27, 2027. Meanwhile, an unexpected tidbit from an online user has further added to the military camp narrative. The user claimed her boyfriend, who is training alongside Eun Woo, told her that fellow recruits couldn't stop staring at the K-pop star. It reportedly got so intense that an instructor had to step in and scold them, saying, 'He's human too, stop looking at him." Fans are finding comfort in Sanha's update, relieved that despite initial struggles, Eun Woo is holding up well and staying connected with his ASTRO members. Known for his impeccable visuals, dedication, and warm personality, Eun Woo's military stint has already begun creating headlines—even from behind the barracks.
