Conversation between Merab Dvalishvili and Petr Yan
“Good effort from Cory, but Merab was better. Can?t wait to test him next #ufc320- reacted after Merab's win at UFC 320.”
“I've been waiting for this chance and I'm ready to fight in December. Last time I was compromised, I was only on 50%. This time will be something different.-via the Ariel Helwani show”
“Oh, a finish would be nice against him. That would be amazing... I'm fine with him. As a fighter, I give him so much respect, and as also family man... Hopefully, he's a better person now... But it's going to be a good fight. He's a former champion. He has a lot of wins in the UFC, and it's going to be [a] fun fight-predicts a "finish" on Petr Yan at UFC 323”
“In the first fight, I was nervous and stressed. It was another pressure to fight against Petr Yan. Now, I'm more mature. I'm comfortable now, but I don't want too comfortable because I'm sure Petr Yan will fix the mistake he made in the first fight .The biggest mistake Petr made was that he didn’t respect me in the first fight. He thought I wouldn’t be able to do anything against him. That was his biggest mistake. Whatever I was better at, I’m sure he’s going to fix it, and I have to be an even better version - Merabs comments that he is expecting a toughter fight against Petr Yan.”
“A finish would be good. But we all know nobody was able to finish Petr Yan. He has some split [decision] losses before, and I think only a unanimous decision loss against me. Otherwise, he only lost by decision, so he's good. I'm just focusing on this fight: Get healthy, and win this fight. That's all I want. But a finish would be sweet - shared his prediction for a bout against Petr Yan via MMA Junkie”
