Media Umar broke his hand after round 1

[AmonTobin]

Are we sure Khabib didn't take a hammer to it backstage?

That’s both hilarious and oddly plausible.

Shout Out to Merab

 

[AL-Tappo McSnappo]

No wonder he looked like a completely different fighter the second half.

look, it could be true, or Ali said lets break it more so you get a rematch, make a good excuse.

It's fighting, shit happens

Sucks to be him. He still lost

 

[Siver!]

both him and merab had excuses but Merab was the better man, Umar seemed more skilled but his cardio was surprisingly bad, or maybe merab's pace is just that crazy. Umar looked like his muscles and arms were like rocks with how stiff he was moving in round 4

Merab was smart to get his whingey-whingey-waaaaah-waaaaah out the way first, that way whatever the Umar corner complain about seems redundant.

I said it a few times tonight, but Merab is the master of optics.

Damn this shit is so funny. Merab standing completely square just pointing at Umar rolling. I know it wasn’t a knockdown or anything crazy, but it’s hilarious with no context.

TS is changing his name to KIt COPE

 

[tritestill]

Islam just said Umar still future champion

 

[Söze Aldo]

So Merab broke Umar's hand in round 1. Badass.

 

[Nihongi]

Are we sure Khabib didn't take a hammer to it backstage?

Are we??

 

[Sasha]

He shouldn’t have done that, because then it hurts when he punches. Weird gameplan.

 

[bng]

dont care much if some khabibs kid losing but always wanted to see how would they act in defeat
and im not surprised so far, considering peaceful muslim things background

 

[Substance Abuse]

No wonder he looked like a completely different fighter the second half.

Also broke his winning streak.

 

[mangokush]

Merab had staph and stitches on his leg and only had less than 6 weeks to train for this fight

Healthy Full Camp Merab easily 50-44 Umar easily

Cope

Ouch, that kind of picture can hurt more in the long term than the fight loss.

 

[Paladin]

is this the beginning of Umar Nu-Broken-Hand-ov?

 

[helooo]

No wonder he looked like a completely different fighter the second half.

If you don't know how to hit properly and safe, you shouldn't hit.

 

[StoicBeau]

That's a phenomal performance against Merab considering he broke his hand after the first round.

Yep. Phenomenal gassing after the 2nd and then getting dominated in the championship rounds.

Well done. With a broken hand too! Remarkable.

Lol @ all the comments in this thread. You pussies would be crying if you broke your hand like that, then sitting here typing shit like "cope" or "but you dont gas from a broken hand"...you all would cry trying to jerk yourself off with a hand like that, let alone trying to win a fight. So stop acting tough.
