Standard of Merab vs Yan

[gracie_barra_samurai]

I've got to say, this is the first headliner in a while that I feel has given us quality action on both sides on par with the classic boxing matches.

Very high level war.

And it's the first time I can remember recently where the losing champ hasn't been given the "[Insert] was never my friend" treatment by the fans. Merab gave his all and has a near unstoppable style.

This is actually a good point. I'm surprised by how beloved Merab has become.

He's too annoying for me, but I've got to admit he's a hell of an MMA fighter. Gave us a legendary fight last night.

Merab may have a boring style but his personality was redeeming.

 

[teamfox223]

Merab knows his style is boring that's that way he fights, his trying everything to make up for it, social media, being super active, striking more. Gotta respect that.

 

[Killer Kadoogan]

its exactly the kind of fight you want to see from a champion and a guy who wants to be champion.

it was a great fight. action the whole time.

 

[CombatCyborg]

That's what it looks like when a fighter has a smart gameplan that uses many tools, which they can switch between smoothly, and don't give up on them halfway through the fight. Fight IQ is too rare.

His humble attitude, his level of activity, and his willingness to fight any and all challengers is super refreshing
