Merab’s knees to O’Malley’s head

[AldoStillGoat]

Didn’t see anyone talk about them. He was perfectly timing them against Sean who was trying to use the strategy of downing himself with his arms while pinned against the cage.

As soon as he would try to down himself Merab was kneeing him in the head. It was almost automatic and probably had Sean rethinking his strategy.

Has anyone seen that implemented so well before? Merab might be the goat at knees to the opponent while they are pinned against the cage. He also beat up Sean’s legs pretty good with those knees.

Mousasi vs Weidman?

Those looked legal to me but didn’t he get dqed over it? He was trying to raise Weidman’s arms off the ground and then kneeing him.

The ones Merab did were without dispute legal.

New downed opponent rule doesn't go into affect until November i thought.

Chris tried to get Gegard DQ'ed but ended up with a TKO loss. It was beautiful.

word man he was letting him have it.

I would have loved pride rules for this fight - just imagine it.

The ones Merab did were without dispute legal as O’Mallet touching the ground on his own and then removing them.

No teh Chris was trying to get a DQ and take the easy way out but got ruled a TKO for Moose and rightfully so.

Yes but I think he was just following the old rules (Merab) and just capitalizing on it when O’Malley wasn’t downing himself

Wow. I doubt anyone would complain about the heavy wrestling game plans anymore. So many more finishes by the grinders.

His teammate Alja watched the tapes closely and perfected the acting job

Yep, Merab's like the opposite of Petr Yan - playing around the downed knee rule perfectly

It’s funny to me no one is giving Sean shit about this either. Cause any other fighter would be razzed to high heaven.

Thousands of fights I have seen, and I have still never seen anyone fuckin ham it up like this.
As a man I feel shame for his little charade, truly pathetic tbh.
