“The petr yan we saw tonight was the one we saw before he lost the title to sterling with that grounded knee the one that has the highest caliber of skills in wrestling, jiujitsu, especially in kickboxing. He went out there and dismantled merab. Didn't slow down for a second”
– via the MMArcade Podcast, believing that the Petr Yan who defeated Merab Dvalishvili was the "best version" of Yan, possessing the highest caliber of skills.

“Obviously, he's [Dvalishvili] a wrestler, and his wrestling game is just so strong and he uses that to such devastating effect. He's only getting better in my eyes. Everyone can attest that his weakness is his standup, but over the last five fights, i want to say, his standup has gotten significantly better.Bar a puncher's chance, I just don't see where a weakness of his is right now. There's always a puncher's chance in every fight. Him shooting the same time Petr decides to throw a knee, it could happen... I don't see it going any differently. I think he's gotten defensively more sound with his striking”
– via Fox Sports Australia, praising Merab Dvalishvili's continuous improvement, especially in striking, and suggesting that only a "puncher's chance" gives Petr Yan a path to victory.

“I think Islam might have the size to [win the title at 185 lbs]. Those guys are different breeds. Islam vs. Khamzat would be huge, and if you put it in Abu Dhabi, everyone's winning from that card”
– via the MMArcade Podcast, suggesting Islam Makhachev has the size for middleweight and proposing a massive fight with Khamzat Chimaev

praise
“The guys who had the best chance of beating Alex Pereira aren't in the division anymore. It was a generation ago... There's no one in that division posing a threat to Alex. Moving up to heavyweight is the right thing to do, super stadom wise and money wise.”
– Reacted to Pereira's win at UFC 320.
