Media Merab Opens As MASSIVE Underdog vs Umar

[Black9]

Might just be an ad & I'm taking Umar, but a 3:1 favorite is some crazy odds lol.

Is anyone taking Merab in the fight or do you agree with the odds?

 

[VinceArch]

Merab will pitch a fit about this too.

Dang when's the last time the challenger was this big of a favorite over the champ?

 

[Sean Chowdhury]

Makes sense, hard to believe a guy from Khabib camp is gonna lose a fight to a guy who just shoots takedowns and has no threat on the feet, Umar can wobble merab like cejudo did in round 1 and he can probably take Merab down considering cejudo took Merab down.

 

[tritestill]

Merab winning would be surprising, but not too much and if he happens to win, he won't beat Umar twice.

Serra was +370 against a -440 in the GSP rematch.

I don't like those odds. I guess at that price a bit on Merab makes sense

Merab can make all 5 rounds close enough to get the awkward win.

Interesting.
I don't think Umar's wrestling is that good yet. If I was a betting man, I'd put some on Merab

[FriskyRandy]

Islam was -350 against Charles and that was closing. He opened -400

I thought the same but hey whats the point if it won't cash

 

[humdizzle]

he should be an underdog, but yeah -300 for umar is a bit too big.

i think alot of people are comparing their last performances too. Umar had a pretty one sided win over a well rounded sandhagen.

Merab refused to stand with o'malley, spammed zero damage TDs, and lost the 5th round because he was hurt by a body kick. that was probably the most damaging blow in the entire fight.

 

[Pechan]

Easy money

 

[Uber_Noober]

This will motivate Merab like Tom Brady not getting picked till the last round of the draft.
Motivated Merab is born

 

[RockyLockridge]

I'd have taken merab as a slight favourite.

 

[witt1021]

i can see it going either way. and how they win wont surprise me. i want umar to win. he is more imo a complete fighter. better striking, and based on khabib and islams comments about him imma say his wrestling is better. havent really seen much of his wrestling as he hasnt needed to use it. he does have a 100% takedown defense tho so merab better have something else to offer, cause he might be on his back in unfamiliar territory... we shall see.
