Did Merab set the record for most injury excuses after winning a fight?

[prime_lobov]

During the post-fight interview after his successful defense, he started rambling for so long about his injuries during training camp that Joe actually had to cut him off.

Sure, there are famous excuse memes for Johny Hendricks, Big Nog, etc, but those were all excuses for losing. Is Merab the new king of excuses after winning?

What he meant was ''Umar don't cry like a bitch about your hand, we all have injuries''

 

[The Big Babou]

To be fair, in the lead up to the fight, Umar was trash talking Merab about pulling out with injury

So it's reasonable the Merab should bring this up

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Hogan cut him off and said let's not talk about that.

Bring it up, sure, but talk about it exclusively until Rogan tells you to change the subject? Then talk about it until there’s a front page Sherdog article about it?

Merab is annoying as hell to listen to on the mic, never stops talking and always has a billion different things to say. Had to turn it off after he kept spouting off excuses when he didn't have to considering he won

He was also about to try to unzip Dana’s pants and suck him off before rogan could even interview him. Dana had to tell him to gtfo

 

[Grrrr]

His excuses after winning beat Umar’s excuses after losing….so I’m good with it.

He’s an eccentric little weirdo, this isn’t news, besides it’s obvious why he done it.

I thought it was the end of the division when he best o'malley, but...

That was a great fight against Umar, a stellar first title defence, and...

The little twerp is starting to grow on me.

Tito Ortiz holds any record for post fights injury excuses

He was letting the ufc know he is a real company man, he had reasons to pull out but didn't unlike Arman, who pulled out last minute.

Merab is so terrible on the mic

What would it be an excuse for?

 

[kingmob6]

Merab is just not very bright. I've met men of his exact intelligence and type quite a few times from that region of the world.

Lol dude posted video where he has 2 inch deep cut on leg 1 months before fight then he injures back and cant even get out of bed he had 6 week camp and could not train for 4 week out of 6
Came in fight still injured and fucked up hype boy nurmagamedov and you call it excuses? Fck you! Umar has excuses with broken hand meanwhile merab came in fight with broken hand against yan and still mauled him 50-45!
You are sad fanboy

Honestly he’s probably pissed the UFC pushed him into fighting while injured.

If Merab was to pull out of the fight i guarantee you the UFC would of stripped him.
