Imagine Yan wins and calls out Sterling that would be badass moment but one can dream
 
for americans this is your only chance to support an american champion, doing those mountain goat hill things.

embrace it, we may never have another.

merab has a great attitude, hard worker, and new american citizen.
 
yeah he's found a way to weaponize cardio. he can win fights by inflicting minimal to no damage by repeatedly taking you down and not going for subs or GNP

tbf though he's not the first guy to do this. Colby had no bjj and pillow fists... but he got to multiple title fights.
LnP was happening in the 90s, long before Colby. Watch some of Dan Severn's fights.
 
All he does is try to push people like a midget sumo wrestler with Energizer Bunny cardio, he never threatens a finish he has Dillashaw Endurance cardio which makes him almost impossible to beat but he is gaming the system by pushing people the whole match with his retard cardio

I'm not saying he's not great at what he does and is gaming the system better than anyone, but he's not marketable and the UFC want him to lose buddeh<28>
Dillashaw Endurance cardio = EPO and it's Doucheshaw.
 
That might just explain Khamzat's sudden 5-round cardio...right after training with Dillashaw and his coach.
I think fighters taking EPOs is just more common than people think. Most are not busted. And naturally it is going to yield the biggest results on the smallest fighters, and especially on fighters who train specifically for endurance. It is just not natural for guys like T.J. or Merab with their level of muscle tone to have the kind of endurance that they have without an outside source and EPO tends to be the culprit. And when you're a big guy like Khamzat requiring more oxygen it also leaves reason to suspect he's on them too.

I have seen long distance endurance and marathon runners drained with fatigue and puking after a 5 minute grappling session.

Funny fact, Merab has as many or more finishes in his last 5 than any other top 10 guy right now.

Merab- 1
Umar- 1
O’Malley- 1
Yan- 0
Sandhagen- 1
Yadong- 1
Figgy- 1
Zahabi- 1
Chito- 0
Bautista- 0
Fun fact Merab has 2 finishes in his 16 UFC fights.

He's not merely having a slump.

He just a career long non sandwich finisher.

Mfer put the bathtub brigade on notice, he'll always be a hero in my book
