News 😂 Petr Yan suggests Merab Dvalishvili needs to beat Umar Nurmagomedov again to earn a title shot hehehe😂

[AMAZINGUFC]

“You saw the fight of Merab vs. Umar. You saw the way that fight went,” Yan said. “So who is more dangerous?

“They can rematch and then we can see what happens.

“Just understand the fact that for me to get the opportunity to fight for the belt again, UFC made me go three more fights until I was able to get into the contender position again,” he added.

For the time being, Nurmagomedov must defend his spot on the ladder against Deiveson Figueiredo at UFC 324 in January.

The tongue is the whip of the ass, take that, Merab

Or maybe Merab would prefer to fight someone new before facing Umar and then Yan, hahaha.

Well technically it was actually 5 fights for Yan because he lost 2 more fights after losing the belt to Sterling, but sure.

There's no point to an immediate rematch with the beating that Merab took. Yan had him hurt badly at least a half dozen times. Never seen Merab on his back foot for almost an entire fight.

That's absolutely right, Merab will have to face some new fighters, then win the rematch against Umar, and only then will he be eligible for another title shot.

Dominant champions get immediate rematches and Merab is the best bantamweight of all time.

Comparing that to Yan's reign is retarded.

 

[DreyDay]

People in the other thread went through all kinds of mental gymnastics to justify an immediate rematch for Merab. Although he got a one sided ass whooping

Merab might get a rematch, because honestly... who else is he gonna fight?

I guess Merab vs Song/O'Malley winner if it's Song makes sense, but other than that... he's beaten all the relevant candidates.

Wrong, at Paramount he'll only get the rematch if they think he sold well or has good viewership.
What you said doesn't exist anymore.

I'll say right now that the winner of Sean O'Malley vs. Song Yadong will face Yan.

 

[djason1988]

I think we're just all tired of rematches. It bogs down the division and it's getting old.

 

[RichardHarrow]

Umar isn't ready for that rematch yet that's the only way to warrant a titleshot tbh.

 

[HHJ]

It wasnt a close fight or a quick sudden early finish

so we dont need a instant rematch for yan/Merab

Yan had to scratch and claw his way back into the title picture

he dont need to throw down a ladder to merab

He's smart to try an play them off against each other but really id like to see Yan fight Umar

 

[AmonTobin]

Problem with that is if Merab beats Umar again I wont get to see Petr beating the shit out of Umar.

Zahabi, Umar rematch, Song.

But he'll get the rematch because he deserves.

Spoken like you know the inner workings of the UFC and Paramount, FOH.

You think Song's gonna be a massive draw in a PPV he's Chinese lol. O'Malley isn't even a big draw despite the massive push he's received.

 

[fortheo]

Petr just wants a guaranteed way of killing one of the biggest challenges off.

Also, all of this ignores the fact that umar is booked

Immediate rematches are dumb. If you lose the belt you need to work your way back up to the top. Immediate rematches hurt the sport overall and create boring times.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

I disagree with instant rematches in principle but who does Yan fight? I guess I'd have him fight Umar next since he's ranked #1 but he's only on a 1 fight winning streak. O'Malley doesn't deserve it. Sanhagden just fought and lost. Ya Dong lost to Yan last year.

I guess I'd still go Umar and Merab can fight Dong for #1 contender. This the UFC though so it'll be an instant rematch.

Yan immediately loses title to Umar.

It’s been an eventuality that Umar takes the belt. Doesn’t really matter who holds it.

 

[MrBlackheart]

Just understand the fact that for me to get the opportunity to fight for the belt again, UFC made me go three more fights until I was able to get into the contender position again,” he added.

To be fair, neither Merab nor Umar lost 3 in a row.

 

[TR1]

Merab doesn't have that Periera privilege.
