Media Things get heated between Yan / Merab during face offs

[HHJ]

The badassery in this thread is off the charts.

Yan literally assaulted Merab a day before their fight with what would've been an illegal strike even during the actual match (and for good reason), yet people here just casually brushing that shit off like it's nothing.

He should have followed up w a leg kick tho

Why not just kick him in the nuts?

 

[Small Town Andrew]

Hope Yans fight IQ holds up. I still think he's the best guy in the division skill wise.

That wouldnt be professional,sir.

 

[Ares Black]

That wouldnt be professional,sir.

Neither is hitting him in the throat, but here we are.

Nah that was OK

No, it wasn't. And I think you know it.

 

[HHJ]

I'm perfectly OK with it.

Should have eye poked him. Maybe bit him a little. Should have gone full toddler temper tantrum. That would have been cool!

A foillow up leg kick would have sufficed.

Nah I just always liked the hats. If someone gonna have a hat that can beat Shavkat's it would be amazing. People getting bothered by the hats need to go watch some boring regular sports where they dont have as much hats so they dont cry "yur ethnicity!"

You sound more butthurt about my comment than I am bothered about the hats. It's cringy and makes these guys look like clowns most of the time imo. Shavkat's hat is cool though, but that's a rare example. And yeah I dont see what ethnicity or culture has to do with fighting, it sounds meatheaded to me 'im fighting for my people', no you're not bro you're fighting for a paycheck, and you're not going to war with another country

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

Apparently it was just an empty threat. Because it’s happened 2 or 3 times already. Nobody has been removed from a card yet. What good are rules if you don’t enforce them?

A Shookologist chimes in:

 

[BowserJr]

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

Still wish this fight happened

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

I’m twice his size but Yan scares the shit out of me

 

[Ramon Antonio]

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

D-bag move by Yan.

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.
