Merab Dvalishvili predicts Topuria will knock out Tsarukyan

Merab Dvalishvili shared his thoughts on a potential Ilia Topuria versus Arman Tsarukyan matchup, stating that while he likes Tsarukyan and considers him a great fighter, Topuria will defeat him. Dvalishvili believes Tsarukyan won't be able to take Topuria down and will get knocked out when he tries to box with him. In separate comments, Dvalishvili reflected on his fight with Petr Yan, saying he could have beaten everyone that day except Yan, noting that Yan had a special style and prepared specifically for him. He described the pain from Yan's body kicks as so severe that during the second instance, he had to rush forward into strikes because he couldn't escape. Additionally, the post notes that Conor McGregor paid Artem Lobov undisclosed compensation for his contribution to creating Proper Twelve, with Lobov reportedly satisfied with the amount.
