Rumored Merab Might Have Staph

[Thad Castle v2]

Merab really is stupid

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

I feel like he is doing it on purpose, showing the cut on his face and getting lots of attention on it, now showing his arm like that, he knows people will see it clearly. I hope we won't have another TJ Dillashaw vs Sterling 135 title fight on our hands again, that was a disgrace and no fight

Genuine question, I have some familiarity with what MRSA is as a medical condition that is especially problematic and spreads in hospitals, and I also am familiar with the term "staph" as people use it in the MMA world.

So what is the relationship between the two concepts "staph" with how it is used in MMA/BJJ jargon and "MRSA" the medical term?

well, all MRSA is staph but not all staph is MRSA. MRSA is specifically a type of staph that is resistant to antibiotics. normal staph is painful but can clear up rather quickly, MRSA can kill you if you do not get it checked quick and can also take months to sometimes years to get over/clear up. there's also many different kinds of staph, and MRSA isn't the only one that is resistant to antibiotics. MRSA is just resistant to specific antibiotics that they normally use to clear staph. there's others that are resistant to all kinds of shit, it's just most people like myself use MRSA and as an umbrella term because we're layman and don't understand all the differences between each type of staph.

the only reason i know even this much is because i had MRSA and it almost killed me.

I'm picking O'Malley to win now. No way Merab will be the same with that massive cut + staph...

I had the shit 3 times (not MRSA). I wasn't familiar with any of it at the time. I was getting into my head and scaring myself from the stories I've heard. Thanks for clearing up the difference.

He should have thought about that before he signed the contract to fight O'Malley. The show must go on.

Maybe it's germ warfare

 

[Spath]

Meh, Staph is only an issue when the fighter loses.

But then they weren’t any good to begin with, so…

 

[humdizzle]

Tim Welch probably paid off the janitor to merabs gym. handed him a vial of staph water to sprinkle on the mats.

i wouldn't put it past him with how he tricked Aljo with the 'you gotta go Aljo!' line

Obligatory

Merab really is stupid

He really does seem like someone who immediately after training instead of taking a shower goes out to eat at a restaurant or something still all sweaty.

His face looks like it was molded out of silly putty.

 

[Vampire life]

Buddy is living the biggest lie there is. I thought this was common knowledge.

He had a transplant????

Or hits a hooka

 

[Steve Fox]

alot of these guys dont shower right away after

Merab probably never showered. He just washes with the sweat of other men during grappling.

 

[Local Plata]

Probably in the contract that he has to have staph and/or be injured in order for them to make the fight happen.

 

[Tweak896]

Feels like its cursed, but no changes for the announcement so I guess it's all good.

 

[wufabufa]

He had a transplant????

No, he had a hysterectomy.

 

[Steve Fox]

No, he had a hysterectomy.

They extracted the cro cop out of him.

 

[Rapa]

Lol, that's 100% staph if I ever saw it, and I've had it a bunch.

Dude he showed it in georgian interview and he was with doctors they checked him its not staph
