Media Petr Yan Calls For Title Rematch vs Merab After Win

Hmm... nah. Not yet. Merab hasn't shown that his clinch/takedown game has lost a step and I still haven't seen much to think that Yan will have better luck against his hardheaded approach.
 
Prefer Umar vs Merab, Yan already got 50-45'd.

Yan vs Sean makes sense from a rankings perspective even though I would have liked to see Cory vs Sean.
 
Wayne Rooney looked incredible tn there using his futbol experience to implement nasty oblique kicks lead leg


Really nice work in there
 
Not a big Yan fan but he looked like he is getting better which makes me start to slightly like him. However He can't just fight Merab again without going against Sean or Umar as Sean did better that he did against Merab and calling him out smells like he is also ducking Umar. Not a popular opinion but I still think Sean O after surgery might be hard to beat with his height, speed and reach but the fucking division is good so who knows. Also Umar might be better than all of them so I hope they lock in a fight soon.
 
Merab vs. Umar
Yan vs. Omalley II for the number one contender after that.

Easy ass match making.
This sounds better, Yan vs Omalley 1 was a robbery imho and it can be, or should be, for 5 rounds this time.
 
Merab will make it a boring fight and grind him out again merab will only lose to one shot knock out power i think
the people to do well against merab came forward. yan could try that. he might still gas and get outhustled but he would at least give himself the opportunity to land damaging shots
 
Yan has pretty good wins. He has wins over Corey, Yadong and now Figgy. He might have more ranked wins over Umar.
 
Yan looked sharp, he stifled Figgy's offense all fight. That being said I don't want to see Merab v Yan again. I'm good with Merab v Umar, Yan v O'Malley.
 
Yan has pretty good wins. He has wins over Corey, Yadong and now Figgy. He might have more ranked wins over Umar.
Aldo was also a top contender at the time. Not sure he was ranked as he was just coming down from FW and lost a split decision to Moraes but he went on to beat Vera, Munhoz and Font.
 
I'm almost certain all the guys you mentioned are hoping Umar can finally end his streak.

Umar's legitimately the only one I think has a strong chance of beating his spamming TD style by putting Merab on his back.
And how is that more exciting?
 
Not much else for him to do, but Umar should get it first and Yan can either wait for the winner or rematch O'Malley.

Yan either is himself or has beaten 3 of the top 5, and another that was a straight robbery with 25/26 media scores and like 75% of fan scoring going for him.
 
Their first fight was pretty fun, people here acting like it was Francis vs Black Beast or some shit.
 
I've got no problems with a Yan title shot. That was a super impressive performance he's earned it IMO.
 
Merab is the same fighter
Petr is the same fighter. No hurry to make the rematch
If you want to match Petr with a wrestler, you should give him a few months to stop going too much hands-up to defend boxing on a wrestler who will go down as soon as you do that
He was still doing that today
