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

[AMAZINGUFC]

If the UFC wants it, lets do it

Ultimately, it will be up to them to determine Yan's next opponent.

 

[Dusty Rhodes]

Do any of you fckin idiots even UFC bro? O Malley gets title shot GUARANTEED/ WIN OR LOSE ya dumb fcks

 

[El Fernas]

I dont mind Merab D. having to earn his rematch, but thats probably not happening, having said that, it doesnt has to be like the other best guy at the top of the division, thats just wishfull thinking from Yan.

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

Yan himself had quite the long road back to a TS. Makes sense that he's not a fan of the insta-hematch.

I mean, that is what happens when you lose 50% of your road back, gets a bit longer

 

[Yabadabaev]

so funny lol omg crazy are you 16? Looks like we repeat next year with rematches.

 

[MixMartialFarts]

Umar and Yan seem to be the only 2 contenders hwo havent fought yet and it would be a sick fights,so assuming Umar beats Figgy that fight makes the most sense.

Marab fought 4 times last year and looked like he took life changing damage vs Yan. He could/should sit for 9 months and still get a rematch against Umar/Yan winner upon his return.

UFC will probably go out of their way to give O'Malley another title shot though.

It does matter.

1-1 doesnt mean auto-rematch. Sometimes 1-1 is the end of someone' career. Context of how the second fight goes, matters.

there's no relevant context to deny ank the trilogy. he's still the number 1 contender and the only person in the division to beat him. the idea because pereira got a ko means he magically doesn't have to defend his belt from the top contender is playground logic.

We arent talking about Yan vs Merab anymore? lol

 

[TheBulletwithWings]

So basically "Merab shouldn't get the rubber match yet" because "there were a couple of Yan decisions I didn't agree with"..?



....

He shouldnt get the rubber match yet because he was thoroughly outclassed.

im in some argument somewhere else about this got them confused. it's still true here though.

 

[teamfox223]

Even know I agree Merab deserves a rematch I don't think UFC is going to give it to Merab. Not that UFC really wants Yan as Champ but they want O'Malley as champ, If Merab is the champ O"Malley will never get a another title shot until Merab retires. Soon as O'Malley beats Song watch UFC give him another title shot.

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

“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.

He had to win 3 fights because he was on a 3 fight skid.

 

[Alpha_T83]

Holy fuck look how pink he looks.

Ultimately, it will be up to them to determine Yan's next opponent.

I dont think any champion is in the position to choose their opponents right now
They ll fight whoever the UFC think is financially most viable

 

[CainWasAble]

I just hope O'malley beats Song so we can get Yan vs O'malley II cuz that decision in their first fight didn't sit well with me. Unfortunately I'm not sure were Sean is mentally, I could honestly see him losing to Song.
