Merab predicts Topuria knockout of Tsarukyan; Yan's body kicks hurt him badly

Merab Dvalishvili stated that Ilia Topuria will defeat Arman Tsarukyan, predicting that Arman will be unable to take Ilia down and will be knocked out when he tries to box with him. Merab also discussed his recent fight with Petr Yan, saying Yan prepared specifically for him and landed painful body kicks. Merab revealed the pain from Yan's kicks was so severe in the second instance that he had to press forward aggressively because he could not escape. He believes he could have beaten anyone that night except Yan due to Yan's unique style and preparation.
