Watching Sean vs Merab... how would Umar Nurmagomedov do against either of Sean or Dvalishvili?

 

[User9992]

I think Umar is even better grappler & wrestler than Merab & would maul Sean even worse than Merab.

It's just my IMHO!

 

[mister piscadinha]

would get taken down and smothered by merab all night
probably subs sean in round 3

He would dominate Sean. He is also a better grappler and striker than Merab. I believe he’s the next champion.

 

[muaytao]

Umar actually tries to finish

I think Umar is better wrestler & grappler than Merab. Merab is strong Georgian, but Umar is a Dagestani from Nurmagomedov clan.

Umar has been improving a lot per fight. I think he could give both serious problems with his chain wrestling.

True and Umar improves every single fight. He’s going to be on top of his game for a title fight.

umar is a great wrestler and a very good striker... all that said, merab will take him down 20 times and win a agressively boring decision

So Sean needs to move up to feartherweight which as of now is a strikers hangout other than Aljo, Bryce, Josh Emmett.

The way I see it we’re finally going to get elite grapplers from that side of the world against eachother. We’ve waited for this for a long time. Merab vs Lilbib…although I think Lilbibs striking could be a big difference in that matchup Merab may just power through him and hold him against the cage until he gets Lil Nurm out of there

[kingmob6]

Umar will beat Merab, make him ineffective, even if taken down, and beat him on points standing up.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

I think umar shades it by split decision

He's got the better striking. Those two will negate each other in wrestling.

 

[mister piscadinha]

and whats that supposed to mean?

 

[Preston broadus]

Merab will be ducking umar

 

[User9992]

and whats that supposed to mean?

He will avoid Umar. He said that many times.

You don't take down an Olympic gold medalist in wrestling over and over.

Also on the technical side, he has incredibly good hip positioning on the ground.
