Editor's Opinion
By Nakmen
Oh, this Yan vs Dvalishvili trilogy is like an episode of The Sopranos in MMA form: everyone’s waiting for the ending, but no one knows how it’s going to finish. Yan wants his KO, which makes sense after two decisions that must have felt like watching Jurassic Park where the dinosaurs win every time. But Dvalishvili, with his 9-0 streak, is the little Georgian who looks like he’s walking on water—except he’s walking on the shoulders of others.
If Yan lands his KO, it’ll be the end of an era, like when Batman crushes the last villain in Gotham. But if Dvalishvili holds on, we might finally get a real fight, like an OSS 117 where the villain pulls off a last-second knee strike. Either way, I hope they don’t make us wait like in those old Disney movies where everything gets resolved at the last minute. Cross your fingers.
