Merab Dvalishvili Backs Ilia Topuria To Beat Welterweight Champ Islam Makhachev At 170

Merab said training time in Spain convinced him Topuria (17-0) can upset Makhachev (28-1) even up a division. “I’ve never felt that kind of power…or that level of technique from anyone else,” he said. “He has a very big chance against Islam,” Merab added, claiming he’d “give a higher percentage” to Topuria even if they meet at welterweight.
