Media Merab Dvalishvili stopped by UFC Security from going to the PI the same time as Umar

Umar v. Kape vibe -- same playbook of threatening Epic Cage Beatdown to build up the fight -- and neither showed up for that level of violence.

Merab v. O'Malley given the big stage UFC Noche $20 mil production -- both failed to show up for the Epic Cage Beatdown.

Now Merab v. Umar -- talking shit that it's personal, gonna smesh, blah blah blah...

I remain skeptical.
 
Alot of you guys have turned on Merab as well. For what?

Are we supposed to like it when champions do everything they can to angle & pivot out of fighting the next contender up?

He talked up fights with Figgy, Yan and even an O'Malley rematch for months and tried to duck Umar until it was clear he had to fight him next.

This, the only thing is that this guy has a belt, but it feels the same, fight will be shit, and they will have to be separated a few times in the build up that still no one cares about.
 
Merab has a deep seated hatred for Russians, he almost turned red when Cejudo spoke some Russian to him. :eek:


Holy shit lol. I never seen that before, that's some crazy, weird hatred that people have for Russians.
 
Damn I like Merab but his whole Umar saga is kinda disappointing lol. I can't tell if he's trying to hype up the fight, trying to self motivate himself or if he really does feel disrespected.

He's fighting him in a month. Where's the duck?

If Merab truly didn't want to fight Umar he would've found a way for it not to happen.

Yeah, it's totally uncalled for. especially for a georgian the animosity towards russia is extremly strange. what's next? ukrainians not liking russians for no reason at all.

I mean... dude... are you serious? Crazy weird hatred?
