Merab Dvalishvili believes Ilia Topuria will defeat Arman Tsarukyan, predicting that Tsarukyan will not be able to take Topuria down and will be knocked out when he tries to box with him. Merab also reflected on his fight with Petr Yan, saying Yan was the only one who could have beaten him that day due to his special style and preparation. Yan landed painful body kicks twice during the fight, with the second one so painful that Merab had to rush forward into strikes because he couldn't escape. Merab praised Yan as a tough fighter who truly prepared for him.
