Merab will finish Umar in the rematch

[methrogenn]

Both Nurmagomedov brothers Umar & Usman have serious gas tank issues. Umar is an excellent prospect but he has now been dropped twice & Merab is much much stronger than him with a better gas tank times 2.

Merab is my least favourite champion but his striking is getting better & he's a tank.

Might be an unpopular opinion but Peytr Yan is an extremely tough match up for Umar aswell.

Umar is better than Usman but neither brothers are as good defensively as Makhachev & don't have khabibs cardio either.

I really don't see either of the Nurmagomedov brothers becoming champions in the UFC with their ineffective flashy striking & gas tank issues.

 

[Luthien]

Agreed.

I gave up and went to take a long during this “fight”. Two boring holding-fests in a row is too much for me. Someone reply and tell me who wins the Championship bouts. I’m gonna walk the puppy and water my vegetables…

 

[Fahcough]

Wouldn't watch. Put em on contender series and not on main card.

Take another break because there's gonna be 5 rounds of WMMA right now.

Usman is much more talented than Umar but he's not working hard enough and he will never be a champion. Guy thought he dominated Paul Hughes lmao.

The dagestani era is coming to an end and now you see more chechen prospects (dulatov, susurkaev, etc) than dagestani

I'm surprised that there's not more georgians though but they will come too

 

[dubhlinn]

who said he's getting the rematch? nobody wants to see a guaranteed decision headliner. dana's deal was for an impressive victory. and tonight's decision wasn't impressive to me in any capacity.

Umar just showed elite cardio against Bautista lol. Merab just built different.

 

[nostradumbass]

They already fought this year and Merab couldn't even do anything after Umar gassed. Where the hell is this imaginary "finish" supposed to happen?

Umar is still getting better.

Look at this rematch with Sean.

How is he finishing Umar? Umar has a iron chin and incredible recovery. Add to that Merab isn’t a finishing threat. I can’t see it happening.

I didn't see it. Umar sucking air whole post fight interview

dulatov is looking good but susurkaev looked really sus in his first ufc fight

Iron chins don't get dropped/rocked so often

He’s gotten dropped twice in his career, I wouldn’t call that often. Both times he showed incredible recovery and went on to win the round.

Still curious to hear how you think Merab finishes Umar.

 

[TITS]

Nah.
