How long before Merab gets chinned?

[mmacool]

He's not cutting a lot of weight.

TS is salty Umar lost. Now he's praying for Merab's downfall, lol.

After going on for weeks like merab is a can and has no chance despite never gassing in a fight once

 

[Ares Black]

Cringe and merab and topuria are friends and countrymen they won't fight eachother

I tolerated that guy until he repeatedly accused me of disrespecting fighters, in a thread where he was actively disrespecting fighters.


Trolling or not, I don't have time for that bullshit.

I can picture him defending the belt until 2027 when he's on the wrong side of 35. It depends what mentality Umar comes into a potential rematch with, because he is scary fast and is probably the most likely to land something clean.

i'll stop to watch title fights for the next 3 years, a lot of respect for the person but once you've seen one of his fight you've seen all of his fights.

Umar was never going to KO Merab, but Merab isn't perfect, his age and mileage can catch up any fight now. He's fought most of the division and beat them already though.

 

[Hellowhosthat]

He has good recovery, but Moraes dropped him, and in his last 3 fights, Cejudo and Umar both rocked him and O'Malley had him badly hurt to the body. I could see somebody going heavy on leg kicks and body shots early to take the spring out of his step and stop him from spamming TD attempts and crack him later in the fight.

I think he'd be a fucker to work a leg kick game plan on. He's rarely in leg kicking range.

 

[fortheo]

If I was merab, I'd fight only a few more times and then retire. Age is undefeated.

 

[HHJ]

He seems super durable. O'malley did hurt him to the body bad in the end of their fight, maybe that's the key
