When Dagestanis doesn't fight immediately after they won the title: They need rest
When others doesn't fight: They are ducking

One of the clearest ducks I've ever seen.

He's been trying to shit on Umar even before the Cory fight.

 

[John makfresshi]

As clear of a duck as we’ve ever seen!

 

[Luthien]

Duck

Mike Tyson fought like 10-12 times per year during the 80s . Just saying

What other Dagestani's are you referring to?

Khabib defended the title as soon as the UFC wanted him to with the McGregor fight.

Islam defended the title in February after winning it in October, less than 4 months later.

In all seriousness, I guess he doesn't make that much money fighting, and being a champ opens doors to sponsorship money
He is always doing UFC appearances, he can be in Paris one week and Las Vegas the next one to get some additional bucks and he always does the paid podcasts (Rampage, Ramsey Nijem)
The UFC should pay their boys more for the fights. So they are not willing to sit out with a belt to get sponsors' money

Please, take as much time as you need. Preferrably more.

Yeah, Merab has an injury and his doctor will tell in ten days if he needs surgery.
So long he will be fishing and driving dirt bikes.

LMAO Merab just challenged O'Malley to a rematch in November. Now all of a sudden he only wants to fight in March, the one month in which devout Muslims don't fight. He could have said February. He could have said April. No, it's specifically March. That's not even getting into his reaction when asked about the Umar fight. Duck.

 

[Luthien]

Scared to death of Umar

Man shutup .. it wasn't just that he said he isn't ready, he specifically went out of his way to discredit Umar and talk about all other fighters in the division except him.

 

[Goatenstein]

Merab wouldn't need any time off if a rematch with O'Malley was on deck or pretty much anyone who isn't the caliber wrestler that Umar is.

 

[CobraCobretti]

He was ready to rematch O'Malley or fight Figuredo later this year tho

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Pereira will have 7 title defenses before Merab and Pena defend once..

Islam defended his belt 3 months after he first won it. All you morons have is fake narratives.

 

[moosaev]

Yeah, Merab has an injury and his doctor will tell in ten days if he needs surgery.

You’re totally correct, a tendon injury in the hand means you can’t fish. I mean fishing includes slamming your hand full force into a foreign object right? Moron.

Normally I'd agree that ppl are jumping the shark but this one is legit clear he wants nothing to do with Umar and it's kind of bullshit, also 6 months is just to long especially when you're a bran new champion.

Scared to death of Umar

It's crazy to call or think of a pro fighter as scared but this legit fits the bill here.
Merab after Umar is officially offered
