Israel Adesanya Says Petr Yan Must Spring Surprises to Win Against Merab Dvalishvili

Ex-middleweight champion said if Yan wants to defeat Dvalishvili in their title fight at UFC 323 tonight, "he has to be out of the box." He admitted, “It’s hard to go against Merab,” and urged Yan to "switch stances or shoot first." Adesanya believes Yan “has to perform completely differently” to disrupt the bantamweight champion's pressure and win the belt.
