Can Merab beat a healthy Yan?

[that Indian]

I agree, how can Yan possibly lose a fight? Notwithstanding all the fights he has lost, of course.

He didn't really lose those fights though. He was either screwed. By refs, judges, god, the easter bunny, toothfairy, his own body not going 100%. Whatever he and his more hardcore fans come up with that week.

Yan has transcended losing.

His opponents can't "win", they can only forestall defeat.

 

[NoStoneUnturned]

Yan is going to win, yet again, by losing.

Does anybody lose without being injured, it’s tiresome.

 

[Rampage_Jackson]

I hate this fucking guy

Nah but fun fact they don't win without being injured either. Turns out cage fighting is a rough sport

troll, ignore

Like the Diaz bros, Yan has never truly lost a fight

Merab outgrappled a nurmagamedov, Yan is not safe.

Merab didnt outgrapple shit. He was getting ragdolled by Umar in the first 2 rounds. He did out Cardio him tho once Umar slowed down and couldnt wrestle anymore. imo if he patches the cardio even a little bit Umar can get a 48-47 dec win over Merab other than Umar no one beats him. there is no Bjj ace in bantamweight to beat his style aka werdum vs cain

Merab is 34, by the time Yan and Merab rematch he will be 35. According to a lot of people’s adamant opinions, a fighter cant be in his prime at 35.(blame the PrideFC nuthuggers) especially lighter weight classes, yet Pantoja and Merab are looking the best they ever look every fight and showing improving in their fighting skills.

Yan, healthy or not. I think Merab is just too good.

I see Merab winning the way he usually does. I don't see Yan presenting any special challenges for Merab spamming takedowns.

Maybe Merab will get too confident in his hands & Yan will put him down like he did vs Grandpa Faber.

The Gus syndrome

For sure a possibility and I would root for him in the fight. He can hurt him, but I think Merab will be less likely to exchange for this one, and he's gonna be like the annoying little brother spamming the same move over and over again in a fighting game.

Question is can yan survive healthly merab? Bcs in their first fight merab walked in cage with broken hand his hand was so swollen he had hard time puting on gloves and still dogwalked yan

Lol take nurmagamedovs dick out of your mouth and go rewatch fight

 

[Hdfi]

Merab will outwrestle him again with infinite cardio, he's just too good.

 

[Streeter]

Yan is his toughest fight if Yan ia focused.


Yan should be facing Umar for next shot. Umar likely scared of Yan .
