Merab is somehow less exciting than Belal, agree or disagree?

[Craig Hogg]

They are both boring and annoying.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Merab is way more exciting than Belal. He's all action. Belal is amazing at what he does and very dominant but he's a staller.

I didnt find the fight boring but you are correct in describing how the fight went.

I enjoyed the fight too but seemingly a lot of people think differently.

 

[Thy]

i liked it. good fighter is good.

 

[markys00]

Lol wtf Merab has had so many good fights. Belal, not so much

 

[Goutfather]

He completely froze Sean up and made him forget how to throw punches. It was incredibly effective.

I think the blame belongs on Sean for not letting his strikes go and very clearly accepting defeat.

O Malley's corner before the last round instead of saying:

"go for broke, let your hands go!!
Go for submissions if he takes you down!!
Do whatever it takes, oil check, eye poke, dick punch. Herb Dean ain't gonna do nothing, at least TRY to win.".


Said:

"It's almost over."

his corner actually advised him to break the rules, and that the ref wouldn’t stop it? you’re messing with me, right?

 

[Alpha_T83]

The only people that found that fight exciting were those engaging in Schadenfreude, happy that O'Malley was losing. The moment Merab fights someone they like, they will hate his boring style.

 

[TheGreatA]

The moment I saw this guy, my interest in the division plummeted because I knew he'd eventually get his hands on that belt and hold it for a long time. No point getting invested in fighters like O'Malley when you know they'll just be fodder for Merab.

Decisions dont mean not exciting. His fight with Yan was very exciting to me.

You're in a place where the majority will claim a fight was exciting and great if there was a finish regardless of how the actual fight went.

Merab
13 UFC fights
11 wins 2 losses
10 of his 11 wins by decision (91% decision rate)

Belal
19 UFC fights
15 wins, 3 losses, 1 no contest
12 of his 15 wins by decision (80% decision rate)

Although Belal has a very high rate of decisionating, Merab is higher still.

 

[JKS]

They both fight to grind guys out and aren't finishers but Merab fights bore me ever more if possible and at at least I can understand what belal is saying and he's kind of funny. Still hope Umar and Shavkat get rid of both of them.

I find Merab more boring, but I like him personally much more. That's what makes Merab likeable, it's his personality.

 

[Oscar Madison]

They're both dogshit -- one is piled a little higher.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Fam Merab broke Sean AND his corner ting was beautiful welcome to di #Crunk era fam A-town hustle was too much Merab finna be GOAT

 

[PaddyO'malley]

Merab and Belal are great and represent the sport with dignity, respect, and class. They also don’t have colored hair.

Well said OG good Americans too

hope di ankle monitor come off soon

 

[bean88]

Merab sure ain’t boring when he’s shutting down the green haired freak, could have watched another 5 rounds with ease

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Disagree. Merab tries to be entertaining and has a personality. They are close though.

 

[Fact Checker]

Crazy take considering Merab was working all fight. Dude landed landed over 200 strikes.


Merabs pressure is relentless while Belal focuses more on positioning.

 

[Pechan]

Completely disagree, Merab's insane pace make the fights much more fun than Betals boringness.

 

[Superior]

Less exciting, he just jumpa around.
