Media Things get heated between Yan / Merab during face offs

[r-harper-1]

That guy is nuts. I’ve said it for about 2 years already. Then I saw that Out of Siberia (whatever the title was) mini doc, a few days ago. Apparently he’s been crazy forever. Getting into 6 different fights a day at school. That is not remotely normal.

Gets called a bitch and throws a strike right at Merab’s throat. That wasn’t necessary.

Poor form, imo.

Edit. Just added a the title thing for that mini doc.

I loved it ….” Who’s the bitch now ?

 

[r-harper-1]

You and others say his style is "wall and stall" and thats lie if u want to discuss something do it with facts one fight against guy with best TDD is not his fighting style just because people wanted aldo to win it means merab should have trade shots with aldo? Thats just stupid and i dont like stupid people

You aren’t saying anything groundbreaking…..calm down moron

Shit like that can get fights cancelled. Say whatever you want. But keep your hands to yourself, imo.

Glad this fight is still taking place because I couldve sworn Dana or the UFC mentioned consequences for karate chopping before the fight takes place because of what happened to Stephens' opponent, I think it was Drakkar

Why does everyone dislike Merab ?

caz he’s incredibly boring

I respect his skills and obvious dedication …. But he took wall and stall to a whole next level last fight …. Made buddy’s performance against paddy look exciting

Merab calls him a bitch, and receives a hybrid push - throat strike, which looks like it semi rocked him. Lol.

Lol @ hybrid push. Never heard that. I was expecting a two handed shove that goes a little high. Yan straight chopped his throat with that shove. Merab was definitely rocked. Shades of Din/Vargas.

 

[MigitAs]

Yan... pissed at opponents. But not enough to get the finish or GSP/ Fitch them.

Yan has been disappointing since he became champ imo

 

[WoozyFailGuy]

Why does everyone dislike Merab ?

He's boring. Hope Yan pulls out his first finish of the Biden administration with this one.

 

[Sensee]

I'm now tuning in! It's that easy!

Agreed.

I take it case by case lol

Gotcha.

You like Yan or don’t like Merab?

 

[Bushpig]

How can he snap

 

[KazDibiase]

Lol @ The Schmo trying to meditate between them.

Can't stand that guy for some reason

 

[HHJ]

Yan(and the fans) are just lucky that Merab wasn't injured. Imagine a main event of this magnitude is cancelled because Yan is a baby.

lol @ the fight getting cancelled over that.

 

[Ares Black]

lol @ the fight getting cancelled over that.

If Merab was injured, fight is cancelled.

Luckily Yan has broccoli hands.

 

[HHJ]

Luckily Yan has broccoli hands.

So why is everyone whining and crying like he pulled out a gun and shot at him?

 

[HHJ]

Yan shoulda followed up w a leg kick imo

 

[PabloBassquez]

Yan shoulda followed up w a leg kick imo

Agreed

He hit him in the throat, dude.

 

[HHJ]

He hit him in the throat, dude.

He's fine. No tears for a tough guy.

If he wants to talk tough,well,be ready for what might be coming back,thats all im sayin.
