MMA Twitter in shambles over Merab Dvalishvili, Sean O'Malley jacket incident (Video)

Merab Dvalishvili proves that pranking someone never really gets old.

When Aljamain Sterling won his fight against Henry Cejudo the UFC brought in his next challenger, Sean O'Malley.

When the pair faced off and started jawing, O'Malley removed his red leather jacket and Merab Dvalishvili, who was in Aljamain's corner quickly swiped it and put it on. He then jumped up on the cage to celebrate and O'Malley didn't take too nicely to the prank.

O'Malley went after Dvalishvili, which then caused Sterling to go after O'Malley. It was all broken up pretty quickly but not before MMA Twitter enjoyed the hilarious moment.

This is really the ultimate way to enjoy Merab. You have to look at his style as just an advancement of his little goblin trolling.

He's gonna take the best guy in the world and just stick to them infuriatingly for 25 minutes, and you just have to laugh along https://t.co/ghhZQGlAwK
