Sterling gave a prediction for the fight Dvalishvili with Yan

“When Yang tries to be super technical and throw his wild punches, it gives Merab the opportunity and space to prepare for the takedown. Dvalishivili can also keep him constantly at the cage. It's not Merab's job to get space to deal damage in this fight, it's Peter's job. Dvalishvili's job is to keep the opponent at the net and try to inflict damage or knock down and cause damage. This is a dangerous fight for Merab, but just as dangerous for Jan. Dvalishvili just needs to stick to his plan, I think he knows how to defeat Peter. He can see what the plan for the fight was for the striker Sean O'Malley and what I had as a wrestler."
