Athletistic/MMA. Georgian MMA fighter Merab Dvalishvili said that he could not have survived defeat in a duel with Russian Petr Yan. According to Dvalishvili, he could not lose. At the same time, as Merab explained, he would have taken the defeat against the American Henry Cejudo more calmly.
“If I had lost to Yan, I would have killed myself. If I had lost to Cejudo, nothing would have happened,” Dvalishvili said, as quoted by Championship Rounds.
Ivan Emelianenko’s manager informed the fighter about an unexpected opponent
Recall that Dvalishvili beat Yan by unanimous decision at the UFC Fight Night 221 tournament in March 2023.
