Let's be honest, Merab has good cardio, that's it.

That seems like a misleading figure. Most of those hit his guard or were weak pitter patter.

Of the 261 he threw, most did hit Yan's guard. 91 got through.

Now if anyone wants to make the case that Yan was one of the most overrated fighters in history, I'm here for it. But, even if we assume he's average, then a guy who out struck him 2 to 1 has more to offer than cardio.
 
Guys what if Yan had the +10 cardio stat?

Anyone who watched that fight and took away from it that Merab put on a striking clinic is a dunce.

If we're being honest, McGregors FAST program deserves all the credit for that win.

He's not claiming it was a striking clinic. He's claiming he outstruck Yan, which is the case.

He outstruck him because he spammed the most TD attempts in history. What fight were you all watching ? Looking at striking stats when the strikes were all filler between TDs that came every 15 seconds is .. lol.

Why even bring up stats on a fight we just watched? We all know what happened.

I think the striking in this fight was immaterial. The main difference maker for Merab was that he could put on an incredible wrestling pace, something that even DC said he had never seen.

Going back and finding some misleading stats to try to make this guy look like Ernesto Hoost is just dumb.

80% stuffed and of the ones that went through he popped back up, quickly, 100% of the time. Most TDs attempted in history.

Look, I'm giving the guy credit for his cardio, it's immense. Wrestling is pretty good, not amazing. Striking is whatever, it's good enough to spam. It's a win, but let's not get crazy here. He barely mounted any major offense here. You guys have some agenda to boost this fighter for some reason. I'm more blunt in my distaste for his lack of real offense in terms of damaging strikes, advancing position, sub attempts, ground n pound, etc.
