Media Merab Shows CA Athletic Commission the Same Leg to Pass Medicals

[Wormwood]

Merab said the wound on his leg finally closed up during fight week after taking months and months to heal.

Merab knew the athletic commission is strict in CA, so during his medical screening, he showed the medical examination the same leg twice to avoid showing the examiner the wound.

Merab basically lifted his left pant leg up when the examiner told Merab to show him his shin. The examiner seemed distracted so when the examiner asked to see his other leg, Merab lifted the same pant leg up.

I wonder if Merab will face some type of repercussions for saying this openly in public.

How much trouble could he land in for this?

How much trouble could he land in for this?

Probably not in a lot of trouble, as he could just say ”nah, I was just talking shit there and getting my name out there”

 

[Pequeño Corey]

I thought he had that gremlin super fast healing ability

Fighters should never discussed there health in interviews. Ever.

What they do to Bisping after finding out he was getting past them with one eye?

Merab is a beast. Good luck to the BW division.

Nothing will happen retroactively I wouldn't imagine. DC didn't get punished for the towel trick and Bisping didn't get punished for his eye. Plus the several fighters we've seen come in with staph spots like Kevin Lee using makeup.

 

[El Fernas]

A fine for showing how DUMB the doctor is? thats not how it works.

 

[Hymen Crusher]

Ca commission is recognized as one of the best in the world and they can't tell the diff between a right and left leg.

 

[Siver!]

Could be real, could be a story.

Wouldn't the commission have to prove it to levy a fine? Merab could just say he was saying this for effect.

 

[FreedomCricket]

The doctor should be fired. That's what should happen.

 

[Dorkman]

I feel like the doctor should be the one getting shit for somehow being a trained medical professional, and not knowing the difference between the right and left leg.

 

[Brokenpromise]

It's better then DC holding a towel to make weight

 

[tritestill]

Those Doctors are there for a check and nothing else

 

[HNIC215]

Just goes to show you how dumb some of the people who run our institutions are in this country.

Good point
