Khabib: Umar Nurmagomedov Will Show Why Merab Dvalishvili Is Nervous at UFC 311

[Rapa]

When merab dominates umar he will show why he said umar didnt deserve title shot

 

[Rapa]

Heart/brain/gut all say Umar for me

Bcs u dont understand fighting

 

[Rapa]

I think the only way Umar loses is if he comes in hurt, which could totally happen. Umar in peak form doesn’t lose at 135 imo.

Like he didnt get knocked down by debuntant lol

 

[Marko Atanasovik]

This is a heart says Umar brain says Merab situation for me.

50 - 43 Umar.
What Merab can to do trouble Umar?
He can't blast anymore like against Yan in unprepared takedowns, Umar have front headlock chokes and antiwrestling methods to stop him... Simon did that same before.
Predictable stand up and is easy to catch him via counter, Umar backwards counters very well.
I can imagine Umar to win by KO/TKO like against Barcelos, to SUB him like as it is Simon or totally outpoint him on DEC from the kicking range and score several knockdowns.

 

[Dionysian]

Well I hope he can handle pressure, although I'm not worried for him.
But I kinda like Merab, I'd be fine with him winning.
Interesting fight anyway, and probably actually competitive (a bit surprised to see odds like -250 for Umar tbh)

Honestly it would probably be more even if Merab just accepted it at the beginning and said he was looking forward to it. Bookies know that fighters know a threat when they see one...

If Jon vs Tom ever happened (don't think it will) you'd see the same betting-line effect and we'd see the first time since before 2011 where Jon was an underdog.

Wow, you act like youre the one fighting.

 

[Captain Insano]

What does this mean?

 

[MigitAs]

Wow, you act like youre the one fighting.

A little overboard maybe but I don’t talk to trolls often.

 

[MarioLemieux]

Merab's striking sucks compared to Umar and their grappling is unknown until they fight, but Merab has no sub skills either.

 

[moosaev]

Has Merab gave a valid explanation for why he's so angry at Umar lol.

No. He just yells incomprehensibly whenever anyone tries to get an explanation on how Umar disrespected him lol.

 

[moosaev]

How good is Umars grappling? I honestly haven't watched many fights from him. I'm sure we can all say it's probably really, really good if you've been rolling with the Khabib crew your entire life.

I wish Merab fought a better version of Henry instead of the one who showed up. If Merab can't take Umar down and impose his will, he's pretty much fucked. At the same time if Umar is looking to stuff his takedown and strike with him, that's probably a bad plan too.

Patchy Mix, who's probably a top 3 grappler at BW in any promotion, said that Umar is the best he's ever trained with. And Mix has trained plenty with Merab.

Nah u fuckin loser first of all fuck islam and stop living with ur mom go out train and be a man u fckin bitch . When merab fucks him up i'll shit on ur head

That makes sense.
