Media Things get heated between Yan / Merab during face offs

[checktheknuckles]

That was ok but the GOAT face-off throat strike still belongs to Mayorga:

Who did Mayorga do that too? Is that Dim Thomas? I know it says that on his shirt, but isn't Din Thomas that coach/commentator for the UFC?

MMA is all about funny hats these days. WTF is up with that shit.

UFC fighters can't afford those nice suits like most pro athletes wear, so they go with the cheapest option, which is some goofy hat they won at the county fair.

Yea it's Din Thomas, they were supposed to fight under mma rules like 12 years ago or something but the fight never ended up happening. Can't remember the specifics but safe to say that Mayorga was the reason it got cancelled. Although he can claim a victory from this press conference TKO.

Does that also mean massively overrated and losses every fight that matters?

Merab better bring the heat in this fight..

Known wall and staller trying to get the attention of a savage by snapping his fingers and calling him a bitch..

 

[Ghostoftheville]

I like how no one blames Merab for provoking Yan. If he'd have just shut his mouth this wouldnt have happened.

I'm more a "leave it for the cage" type. Fighters talk, I don't like it, but I don't need any risk of a fight getting canceled for stupid shit like this either

The guy is kind of right though..

He wanted attention and he got it.. if you want baristas fighting you always got soccer..

Don't get me wrong, i'm a blonde swedish guy who at a point had a man bun.. even i know to keep my mouth shut/hands up at all time..

 

[Jc Djenton]

Merabs a cheeky fucker i hope Yan mangles him.

 

[MRT]

No, if he did it unprovoked it would be, but if you’re calling someone a bitch to their face, you should expect to get smacked. The biggest douche move of all is mouthing off to someone and expecting the authorities to protect you.

Awwwww, did the words hurt his feelings?

You sound like the type to mouth off and then call the cops when you get punched in the face.

It is a little pathetic that someone can't keep their emotions in check for the 30 seconds they are in front of someone during a stare down, when they are 24 hrs away from being able to beat their ass in a cage.

At least Yan kept it together after Merab 50-45'd him though.

 

[AfroBanana]

Nah I love people getting checked immediatley for speaking out of turn.

Yan brought that same tiny d energy to fight night, checked then wrecked they sound the same.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

Well, that throat chop wound up being the best strike Yan landed against Merab.

Doesn’t that work both ways, why mouth off to someone during the weigh in, when you have a chance to beat them up the next day.

Didn’t care who wins, just don’t like shit talk, you talk shit to the wrong person you should expect to get hit, and it’s more than obvious that Yan is the wrong person.

The look on his face said it all. You could see the low IQ bully’s soul leaving his body. As expected a paper champ is crumbled.

Psychological games, I guess? I don't much care for the shit talk either...I just have even less tolerance for physical nonsense at stare downs. We've seen that go bad a few too many times (Jeremy Stephens being the obvious idiot example).

And I 100 percent agree with you in the Stevens case, because that was completely unprovoked and stupid. However, when you have a guy saying absolutely nothing to you and looking straight ahead and you’re calling them a bitch and trying to rile them up then you’re just asking for it. Same with Colby, it was so satisfying watching Werdum bounce a boomerang off his head.

Colby def got what he deserved in that context lol

DC-Jones also comes to mind. Shit like that is ridiculous.

Has nothing to do with being soft or tough, you're a bit more than 24hrs away from being locked in a cage together. Deal with it then.
