“[Merab Dvalishvili's] just a different level of human being. I don't know how he gets beat right now. I think Petr Yan is a great fighter, and he's got so many tools and so good at what he does. I don't see what he can do differently to stop Merab. Everybody has tried with that style. Stop the shot, stop the takedown. You just get punched in the face, then when you try to punch back, you get taken down anyway. I don't know what they do differently”
