Merab Dvalishvili climbs into stands to confront fan for making comments about him

Once Merab scaled the fencing, it's safe to say that the spectator well and truly s**t himself.

Footage has emerged of Merab Dvalishvili climbing up into the stands in an attempt to confront a spectator.

He was left visibly fuming after the fan was heard shouting comments about him and his teammate Aljamain Sterling.

Now video of the incident has surfaced online and it's safe to say that the spectator well and truly s**t himself.

Just a few weeks ago, Dvalishvili dominated former bantamweight champion Petr Yan in arguably the biggest win of his career so far.

The victory moved the Georgian into the number one contender's spot in the 135-pound division, but Dvalishvili has openly admitted he doesn't want to face his good friend and teammate Sterling, simply out of respect.

So at UFC San Antonio, one fan in the stands thought it'd be a genius idea to exchange verbals with Dvalishvili, urging him to step inside the cage with the current champ.

"Tell Aljo you're coming for his belt! Make the fight happen, that's the peoples' fight," the bloke yelled.

"Hey, once Aljo kicks [Henry] Cejudo's arse, I want you to get into the octagon with him."

And, well, let's just say Dvalishvili wasn't too fond of the advice coming his way.

In an attempt to confront the annoying fan, the UFC star scaled the bannisters at the stands, climbing up them with relative ease.

The fan, knowing that there was people between them, then goaded him some more.

"Hey, right here baby," he said.

But Dvalishvili somehow climbed even higher and made his way to the top, forcing the scared spectator to retreat.

The fan ran away out of Merab's reach, before the UFC star was advised to climb back down by arena security.

When MMA reporter Ariel Helwani shared the footage onto Twitter, users were quick to slam the mouthy fan.

One replied: "My man running for his life prolly wont sleep 3 days."

While another said: "Literal definition of a keyboard warrior in real life."

As a third added: "Absolutely LOVE how the MAN filming runs away after poking the bear."

Still fresh from his recent victory, Merab is still without an opponent.

As for Sterling, there's talks he could face former two-division champion Henry Cejudo in his comeback bout.
