Media Umar first statement: I don't think I lost

[ultra321]

let him fight O'Malley

 

[kkthx]

to the back of the line, delusional bathtub dweller

 

[HNIC215]

You definitely lost lol

Just have to come back stronger. You did well the first 2 rounds.

 

[uff]

Thats not what he said. Yall need to get help. "I will be champion. I have not lost this battle ". He's not done just because of one loss.

i'm really confused sometimes by people on this forum and their inabilty to read or comprehend written text, it is either this... or they are blinded by the hate of certain fighters.

 

[MigitAs]

I’m reading Don Quixote right now so I can’t help but find his delusion a little endearing lol.

 

[PaddyO'malley]

XSWL Of course you lose judge they consider 48-47, 48-47, 49-46 domination against you (no disrespects given)

Merab = yyds

 

[RockyLockridge]

Oh no a fighter thinks he won a VERY close fight! What an asshole!!!!

yeah it wasn't close though but keep telling yourself that not a single media member scored it for him he lost CLEAR AS DAY.

just as clearly as kron gracie lost to cub swanson

He lost. Deal with it bro. It happens. I knew the wrestling would be an issue. He's not a natural wrestler the way Khabib and Islam is. He grew up striking, His defense is great though, but Idk if he grew up doing sambo or was even world class at it.

I still think he can win a world title and He can win in a rematch, but I think he has to hurt merab early for that to be a chance.

Hey don't shoot the messenger lol

 

[Peli]

Hey don't shoot the messenger lol

The deal with it comment was directed at umar, not you personally lol. Bro was just meant in general terms.

I think umar is making it look bad by saying I won, I had a broken finger, btw no excuse. Just stop it. lol.

despite a broken finger, it was still a close fight imo, he can win in a rematch. I'd focus on that.

 

[biscuitsbrah]

I personally had round 3 for Umar but I’d have to rewatch it. Merab finished strong as fuck and had the better body language, but I feel like Umar did all the damage

 

[bng]

the famous muslim humbleness i must be hearing off

 

[Pompey Junglist]

The only clear round for Umar was Round 2. I know most people also gave him the first, but it was super close and I actually had it 4-1 to Merab.

 

[legedema]

guess Umar vs Sean is the fight to make but I guess Umar will not fight very soon because of broken hand

 

[TheCryingElite]

Umar/Yan is one of the best fights to make right now.

Agreed! I think Yan wins a very competitive fight.

 

[Koala]

He lost
The fight was really easy to score. 3-2 Dvalishvili

I am happy Merab won, and Umar's loss is better for the sport as it shows how competitive the top 5 is and keeps the UFC in check, reminding them that they don't actually control who becomes champion. Although technically Umar might have won three rounds, he looked like he was sleepwalking by the fifth, something I've never seen from that camp. Umar looked dangerously tired to the point where he was lucky not to suffer a serious head injury, while Merab was having a party and talking to Rogan, playing up to the crowd. You have to love the guy after doing that, possibly losing the first two rounds, recovering from staph, being the underdog, and having a 'broken back' (which can't be true). Fuck you Merab, I am now a big fan which I said I would never be. lol

 

[ejazahmednit]

Those fights were much closer though.

Volk vs Islam was not close at all except the last minute of the fight
This fight was closer with both fighters having 2 rounds a piece
Nurmi was having a good 5th round until Merab clocked him with a right and then took over
He should take this as a learning experience (which I am sure he will).
If he is truly saying he didn't lose the fight it could be a simple morale building lie one tells to themselves

 

[chinarice]

Khabib, nor Islam have ever fought anyone in the realm of Merab when it comes to grappling and cardio. If he was a LW, he'd have been an absolute nightmare for Khabib too.

 

[GordonMMARamsey]

I need to re-watch the fight. Between football all day, and then the fights I was a bit tipsy. Felt like Round 1 and 2 were really close, and then 3 Merab just looked different and it was over from there.

 

[RockyLockridge]

Thats not what he said. Yall need to get help. "I will be champion. I have not lost this battle ". He's not done just because of one loss.

What did he mean this time?
