Maybe merab should keep the politics that have nothing to do with Yan out of the build up how pathetic trying to link yan to the russo/ukr war

Seems like Dvalishvili is not a fan of Russians. I remember months ago Russian journalist mentioned that at media day in UAE in 2021 or in 2022 Merab told to Russian journalists "Everyone has a good and bad in them. In you, that you are Russians is bad." and laughed. Don't know if he refused to interact with them after that.

The support for Merab really took a beating after the Aldo fight because he wall n stalled him to boring decision and stopped him from getting a TS and basically ruining his retirement fight

He didnt say itd be his last fight beforehand I dont think. He suddenly retired after the loss.

lol. obviously that isnt how it works because most people work for a living and dont want to spend time in jail. maybe im just old but id rather be called a bitch a thousand times than go back to jail for whopping some dude. besides yan and mereb were in a controlled environment, yan just trying to be billy badass.

Merab also felt safe to say "Cmon BITCH" to Yan in this "controlled enviornment" and got checked anyway.

Nah Yan does it the right way. Cody just grabbed the throat and pushed him. Yan striked it with his thumb at the center of the throat. Cody's does no damage that's why TJ countered it right away. Yan's does damage. It's an actual strike, not just a hold.

I was just joking because I like using that gif :) John Hackleman calls it the c-hand strike and does a few videos on it

Pretty sure you’re right about him not saying anything before the fight, but I felt if he lost he was going to hang it up since that was his last hurrah. IIRC Merab also broke Aldo retiring on the MMA hour interview the next week which I thought was kind of shitty of him even if that wasn’t his intention.

Either way the last time we are seeing Aldo in a cage he was held up against the fence for 15 minutes which sucks ass

The Jon and DC one didn't end well for the person that did the throat strike though. Jones was on top of DC ground and pounding him with solid strikes.

Neither did the other guy I mentioned in the comment you quoted lol.

Tried to start the fight with a punch, and ended up getting flash KO'd/knocked down himself, lol!

Lol Yan will have the opportunity to make him pay tomorrow. Acting like a child at the weigh-in is embarrassing.

Nah he just checked the guy for calling him a bitch. Merab needa learn.
 
A throat strike can significantly hurt someone.

Hard to tell if this was just selling the fight, but if it was real, two things come to mind...

1. Yan is breaking mentally.

2. You have to be careful about hurting an opponent and getting a fight called off.

Merab seems to be in his head.

I actually like his energy and mentality, but his fighting style of wall and stall tends to bring out the frustration in most fans tbh.
