Merab predicts Topuria knockout over Tsarukyan; MacGregor settles with Lobov

Merab Dvalishvili stated that while Arman Tsarukyan is a great fighter, Ilia Topuria will defeat him by knockout when Tsarukyan tries to box with him and fails to secure takedowns. Merab also discussed his own loss to Petr Yan, crediting Yan's unique preparation and painful body kicks that forced him to move forward into strikes rather than retreat. In separate news, Conor McGregor has paid compensation to Artem Lobov for his unpaid contribution to the Proper Twelve whiskey brand, with the amount undisclosed but reportedly satisfactory to Lobov. The post also mentions that Carlos Ulberg lost his belt at a party, and includes brief training updates on fighters like Ruffian and Chandler.
