To be fair, Chinese new year is the most important holiday for them and it doesn't start until January 23rd and ends February 5th. He most likely is indeed on holiday.

Yeah im not just talking about him, though he was the center of the conversation.
They all do this nowadays, and I feel old as fuck saying that sir lol.

Yeah. I was just thinking about how UFC used to say "the best fight the best here", but now a days it's more like "the best put off fighting the best for as long as possible here"

It's been annoying me a lot these days too.

Dana used to say "We're not gonna be like boxing where the best avoid one another"

Riiiiight lol
 
Yan doesnt play around, he figjts everybody

WAR Yan
 
Rooting on Yan in this. Merab is talented and has some skills. But he didn't win much goodwill with the wall and stall on Jose.
 
This will be a tough fight for Yan, but I think he gets it done. He has great TDD and Merab doesn’t necessarily possess the best head movement. Tough first couple rds for Yan, then I think he punishes Merab for a stoppage in the champ rds.
 
Yans trained with good wrestlers for a long time though. I'm not sure he's going to make any sudden improvements now. He's always had good tdd. The good thing in this match up is that merab doesnt have the ability to control yan the way sterling did, the bad thing is that merab has better takedowns than sterling and is better in the clinch and has the cardio to spam them all night for a very ugly fight.
What about when Moraes hurt Merab bad?
Surely someone as good as Petr can do the same or even better?

Yeah. I said it earlier. I won't be surprised to see yan knock him silly either. It's a fight that can go either way in my opinion.
 
Great match-up. I think Yan can get it done, but I do wish he had a rebound fight after having a slew of losses at the top of the division.
 
You have to hit merab with bomb and knock him out cold or sub him otherwise u cant beat him to decision
Yan has no one punch ko power or high class jitsu
Merab ragdolls him and then tkos him in 4th or 5th round
 
Good matchup; fuck the UFC though. Two studs of the division have to fight each other. Aljo being the champ is bad enough. But the loser of this fight will predictably see O'Malley get two title shots, Cejudo...Hell, Cruz and/or Dillashaw will somehow get undeserving title fights before Yan or Merab are able to work their way back up the rankings because merit is a thing that applies exclusively to guys like them. Unfortunate
