The two were engaged in a light but focused technical drill, which allowed Carano to witness Dvalishvili\u2019s \u201celectric\u201d vitality.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The caption to her post displayed her appreciation for the unique experience. Carano penned, \u201cI\u2019ve stood across some of the best actors in the world, but to stand across a person like @merab.dvalishvili\u00a0was electric.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify\"><span data-embed-id=\"d043a0bcf3a64391a8a8e810b259a246\" data-embed-type=\"social-auto\" style=\"text-align: justify\"><\/span><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Carano also made a hilarious revelation, stating, \u201cHe was just teaching me a few of his dance moves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The Georgian fighter, known for his seemingly infinite cardio and elite grappling, can be seen demonstrating some hardcore grappling techniques and encouraging Carano during the session. Their interaction felt more like a collaborative training session rather than a full sparring routine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Carano also made sure to thank Dvalishvili\u2019s coach, John Wood, for arranging the meet. This was the first training video Carano shared since her fight with Ronda Rousey was announced.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">But while Carano is sweating hard to prepare for the fight, her rival isn\u2019t sitting idle either.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"text-align: justify\">Ronda Rousey Is Also Gearing Up to Fight Gina Carano<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">While Carano publicized her first training video just three days ago, Ronda Rousey might be running ahead of her in this department. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Rousey started uploading her training videos even before the fight was announced. Her videos triggered speculations about her return to the cage, which were later authenticated by MVP announcing the Rousey vs. Carano fight.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">However, Rousey\u2019s most recent training video on Instagram displayed that she brought in a new coach, AJ Matthews, to help her prepare for the encounter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Unlike Carano\u2019s series of snaps, Rousey\u2019s post displayed the actual video of her striking training session with Matthews. \u2018Rowdy\u2019 looked sharp while hitting the mitts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">So, while both the stalwarts of women\u2019s MMA are leaving no stone unturned to prepare for the encounter, who do you think will have the last laugh?<\/p>\n<p> <img data-document-id=\"cms\/api\/amp\/video\/AA1VVyex\" data-reference=\"video\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gina Carano chose former UFC bantamweight champion Merab Dvalishvili as her training partner for her upcoming fight against Ronda Rousey, and she couldn\u2019t refrain from comparing \u2018The Machine\u2019s\u2019 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1501"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1501\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parkmania.pl\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
