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

[markys00]

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.

He didn't have to fight him

 

[markys00]

That's weird
Professionals should be expected to behave professionally
But mountain manlets have giant egos

Manlet detected. What are you like 5'1 or something? Lolol u probably get confused for a girl with ur bitch tits

This is a very bad look for the UFC.

And when the fight was actually put on the table he sign it, who the fuck cares what he tweets?

 

[Pechan]

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?

This place is full of russian weirdos.

 

[Chayanne]

that's because of all the drama you cause yourself, I would say put a mirror in front of yourself

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

We appreciate you Merab but you will still lose to Umar, he will knock you out.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

Holy shit lol. I never seen that before, that's some crazy, weird hatred that people have for Russians.

Almost like Albanians hatred for anything Arabic.

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

I think Merab was like 17 when his country got invaded by Russia. Alot of Georgians hate Russians. Im not saying it's right or makes sense but war torned people don't always make sense. That's why war sucks

The 2008 war? Didn't Russian only tsake back Russian speaking areas back, because USA was trying to attack Russia from there?

 

[richardjohnson]

How can anyone accuse Merab of ducking at this point? They’re scheduled to fight, what more do you want from the guy?

 

[usernamee]

I mean makes sense, you're training for a title fight.. you don't want the champ looming around in the background

especially Team Khabib are very protective against onlookers in their camp

 

[Natural Order]

Get in your Hyundai Santa Fe and shut the fuck up Merab.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Holy shit lol. I never seen that before, that's some crazy, weird hatred that people have for Russians.

I dont think it has much to do with him being Russian (unless that's been a narrative, I dont follow most drama), but why would it be weird for a Georgian to not like a Russian? Russia was an aggressor and involved in a lot of conflicts (and are in one right now), of course there are going to be people that hate them.

Russia is one of the least weird countries to dislike. It'd be weird if someone disliked Trinidad or something.

 

[RockyLockridge]

I have never seen a champion so insecure and pasionate about a contender like Merab with Umar.

I see no insecurity.

What you're choosing to miss, is this is like a an O'malley vs Sterling situation. The promotion CLEARLY has a desired outcome for this matchup and Merab KNOWS it's not him. It makes him reasonably angry

 

[RockyLockridge]

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.

He certainly wouldn't have taken the fight on a 4 month turn around

no we shouldn't tolerate islam makahchev

 

[WillyWarminski]

I'll die of laughter induced hypoxemia if these two recreate a k1 Maia bout

 

[BigSexy444]

Merab has a deep seated hatred for Russians, he almost turned red when Cejudo spoke some Russian to him.

"I don't speak Russian!"

"Well you're going to Saturday night!"

 

[VinceArch]

Fuck russia and russians!!!!

и ты пошел на хуй

 

[VinceArch]

Almost like Albanians hatred for anything Arabic.

Fair point.
