Media If Merab wins

[biscuitsbrah]

It will be the era of the sloppy, to-the-death grinders. We have Pantoja, Belal, and Dricus, although Dricus and Pantoja are so much more sloppy than Belal. But then we would have Merab in this conversation as well.
All of these guys are absolute cardio machines, except for pantoja lol.
But all guys just non stop forward pressure, willing to get hit and get absolutely gassed in order to break you.

Will Merab keep the streak going? Or can Suga be the one to keep the striking technicians alive? (Moreno losing to Pantoja, Leon losing to Belal, Adesanya losing to Dricus)

Also the one thing that Suga possesses over his peers is that one punch KO power. Could be a game changer.




Also here’s a video of Suga’s coach Tim, breaking down some of Merab training videos he posts. Decently insightful.

Sean could give Merab some serious problems with his counter striking and length to keep him at bay.

That said he may be a sloppy striker but he is a beast of a wrestler and explosive as fuck.

Never noticed before what a broken in nose Merab has That YouTube thumbnail really brings it out
Mike Perry levels

Explosives? I don't find Merab explosive...physically dominant? Sure. His pressure and cardio indomitable? Yes. I don't think he's particularly quick or able to generate a great amount of force within a small distance though. Merabs grappling is also super technical...from a competitive black belt with Olympic aspirations in Georgia for Judo to being a world combat sambo silver medalist (it's debatable he won the finals) to him still to this day entering in regional freestyle and greco wrestling tournaments in the tristate area.

Sean's quick and his strikes have good snap and power but I don't really consider that explosive either. I do tend to lean Omalley in winning this one though.

And then a hero arises from the ashes

believe me Merab will easily destroy Sean

Imo, there's too much of an "although", "except", several "but's", a couple of "or's'" and "will's" and "could's" to be particularly worried about the era of anything.

Although, I'll give you that you did add an "if" in the title, so it wasn't clickbait.

 

[KO Shotz]

Suga vs Merab is alot like Suga vs Aljo.

Suga's striking & reach will give Merab problems.

 

[JustBleed69]

I really enjoy O'Malleys striking, but the last thing I'm ever going to do is listen to that absolute weirdo Tim Welch. Guy gives me the creeps.

Anyways, Merab gets clipped in basically every fight; I think that's likely to happen again, except he won't survive O'Malley's shots.

I got O'Malley with a KO/ TKO in the first.

 

[DOMMA]

I'm not a Merab fan but he will walk through O'Malley. Look what he did to Yan and Aldo, two of the best strikers in the division....he dumped them at will for an easy victory. Merab has an excellent chin and O'Malley is no power puncher, accurate, but not a power guy.

Expect to see O'Malley fighting to survive a one sided mauling.

 

[Luthien]

[Neck&Neck]

Dricus finishes guys, he’s not alike

And Shuga will melt MerStaph

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Why in the fuck would I intentionally watch the ginger edmund talk about anything? I watched of a clip of him and sean podcasting and it was a basically a bootlicking verbal blowjob fest from Tim. He’s obsessed with Sean and it’s creepy.

I mean it’s the game plan Khabib was so dominant with.

It just works as long as you can eat a shot and not get KO’d while coming forward.

Tim is definitely involved with Sean and it goes further than training him...or maybe that's exactly what he does lol

Khabib has a legendary chin, Merab gets wobbled a lot.

True. Eventually Merab will get KO’d. Almost a sure bet. But in the meantime, he is a huge threat for the champ.

Oh he's definitely a threat, but his striking defense leaves a lot to be desired tbf sir.
