Merab Dvalishvili to win · Decision

62% conf.

Merab Dvalishvili holds a slight edge in record (21-5 vs 20-5) and is known for relentless pace and cardio-heavy wrestling pressure that wears opponents down over championship distance. Petr Yan is an elite technical striker with excellent boxing and fight IQ, but Dvalishvili's volume wrestling and conditioning typically neutralize strikers in extended fights. With 5 scheduled rounds and no market odds to anchor against, Dvalishvili's pace advantage becomes more pronounced, though Yan's technical skill keeps this competitive enough to warrant moderate confidence in a decision outcome.
