UFC champion Merab Dvalishvili to speak at SBC Summit

SBC is providing the UFC’s newest Champion Merab Dvalishvili the official brand ambassador of Aviator with the platform befitting his recent achievements at next week’s SBC Summit in Lisbon, where he will be speaking on the event’s Super Stage – the biggest stage ever seen in the igaming world.

Fresh from securing the bantamweight title with a unanimous-decision win at UFC Noche in Las Vegas against Sean O’Malley, Dvalishvili will be speaking to award-winning sports broadcaster Laura Woods about his journey to becoming one of the best fighters in the world and how he became an ambassador to SPRIBE’s Aviator brand. 

The Super Stage is being constructed at the huge MEO Arena as part of the SBC Summit, which is taking over the whole Feira Internacional de Lisboa complex on 24-26 September. 

It will be the champion’s first in-depth interview since upsetting the form book and claiming the bantamweight title and will give  SBC Summit delegates a unique insight into the Georgian’s success in the world of MMA. 

Merab is one of several speakers during the event who have taken the world by storm. These include:

  • Sir Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web
  • Tony Hawk, Legendary Skateboarder & Entrepreneur
  • Luis Figo, Portuguese football legend
  • Peter Schmeichel, Danish football legend

    Rasmus Sojmark, Founder & CEO of SBC, commented: “It was brilliant to see Merab fulfilling his destiny and taking the title in Las Vegas this weekend. And his timing to do that just before he appears at our SBC Summit next week is impeccable from my perspective! 

    “It’s not often you get to hear from someone in person so soon after reaching the tops of their profession. His insight is going to be unmissable. SPRIBE has chosen a fantastic ambassador in Merab, and we are pleased they have made it possible for him to join us all in Lisbon.”

    Giorgi Tsutskiridze, CCO at SPRIBE, commented: “We are incredibly proud to have Merab Dvalishvili, the newest UFC Bantamweight Champion, as our Aviator brand ambassador. His journey in the world of MMA reflects the same values we stand for — courage, innovation, and the drive to win. We’re excited to have Merab at the SPRIBE stand during SBC Summit, where, now as a champion, he will represent Aviator and provide an exclusive interview on the Super Stage. This is a unique opportunity to hear from a true champion.”

    It is still possible to attend the event in Lisbon and you can grab your pass for just €95 HERE.
