Media Umar ain't beating Merab he can't even defend a takedown from a collage wrestler

Merab right now probably should outstrike and outgrappled Umar.

You must be trolling, blinded by hate, or know nothing about the sport. Umar is an 8.5/10 striker with some of the best kicks in the sport. Merab is 4/10 (and that's being generous) with zero finishes.

It was a flash knockdown that looked like next to nothing.

If it was next to nothing, Umar wouldn't have spent the rest of the fight avoiding the striking and only grappling.

He literally secured top control within seconds. Looked more off balance than anything. Anyway meaningless in this fight because Merab has zero knockouts and Umar is a way better striker and can actually finish.

I don't think being put off balance would make him decide to immediately shoot and then avoid the striking for the rest of the fight lol.

Umar said it Rocked him and he came to on the leg. If anything it proves his ability to fight through a tough spot. It answered if he can come back from adversity.

Indeed. Who did you pick when Islam fought Oliveira?

Yeah because getting taken down in practice once or twice equals getting taken down every single time in a match hahah, you would be surprised how training looks some times, world champions, olympians, get scored on in practice, even taps some times.
