He'll have to get one firstMerab going to do something stupid one day with all these antics and overreactions, like hold a sub too long or hit a ref or something. He needs to get control of himself.
Nah he's never done anything wrong like that in a professional fight. He just has a problem with controlling his emotions outside of the cage. Classic case of ADHD.Merab going to do something stupid one day with all these antics and overreactions, like hold a sub too long or hit a ref or something. He needs to get control of himself.
Merab Dvalishvili always said some crazy shit though. I remember when he said he would committ suicide if he lost to Yan, or the whole Cejudo fake mexican angle.Merab had everyone on his side when he was closing in on a title shot and now, he's pushed the majority away. Having the spotlight seems to have revealed his actual character, same thing happened to Hendricks.
Merab isn't the brightest, he made skits about Omalley and basically called him a clown yet Umar posts a few tweets rightfully calling out Merab for wanting to fight Yan who he 50-44ed and he's apparently disrespectful and not a real man.

I just hope he shows up to fight Umar. So many drop out for "injuries" for these type of fights. Umar probably would get an interim belt fight if Merab pulled out and have to fight him anyways.
I enjoyed his last fight, it wasn't FOTY but it was far from the worst title fight we've seen.Merab Dvalishvili always said some crazy shit though. I remember when he said he would committ suicide if he lost to Yan, or the whole Cejudo fake mexican angle.
I feel like it’s a combination of people not liking his last fight and that the Nurmagomedov family has a strong fanbase.
Leading up to his fight with O'Malley plenty were enjoying his way of hyping up the fight with the numerous videos he posted. Yeah, people didn't like the Aldo fight or him stating he wouldn't fight Aljo and strangely enough, it seemed like the MMA community had forgiven him both times.Merab has never had everyone on his side. Merab has always been a divisive figure due to his fight style (wall and stalling Aldo), and his friendship with Aljo that prevented them from fighting.
