News Umar Nurmagomedov vs Song Yadong CANCELLED

[Black9]

Song apparently got injured and is unable to fight

Looks like Merab overplayed his hand, he has to fight him now

Merab vs Umar surely right?

 

[TheMMAnalyst]

We got pump-faked by the UFC again Sherbros!





"I am always ready, and right now I am waiting for an opponent, as Yadong declined to fight in December — I was told he is injured.

Merab, before my fight with Sandhagen, you said that if I beat him, I would deserve recognition. Now you have changed your position — decide who you are. All the fans and analysts are noticing how you are avoiding the fight. Championship is recognition, but you haven’t received it, and you know that perfectly well."

They always be leaking these fights, then we have to learn from someone like Faber it ain't signed, then eventually that it's not even happening....



They keep doing it and yet we can't help but keep trying to kick it lol.

 

[Lord Pyjamas]

Do the right thing Merab.
Get some fans!

Merab bless

Umar is the next Ankalaev

 

[Luthien]

This is good news Maybe Merab can stop ducking now

 

[Pharenheit]

Hey Merab,

 

[Gabe]

Metal has already said he won’t fight again until March. They’ll probably find someone else for Umar.

 

[AldoStillGoat]

Umar is like a spoiled brat. Merab will put him in his place when he chooses.

Damn Sherbro, looks like you beat me to it!

Well-done good sir.

 

[10000yearsold]

Merab bless

Umar is the next Ankalaev

You mean like if Ankaleav were putting on impressive performances defeating top ranked contenders?

MMA fans are derranged, LMAO "Overplayed his hand"

What hand? WHAT PLAY? All he's done is win a title a month ago. How is this a bad thing for Merab, Like at all? It's actually amazing because should he choose to fight merab he can take the UFC to the cleaner, But It's not like that will headline the fox card.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

merab is going to tanya harding umar

 

[Fact Checker]

Nobody at BW wants to fight Umar

 

[The Siege]

It was a stay busy fight anyway, plus Song should get a more winnable fight.

Looks like Umar is going to pack it up for the rest of the season if he can't get a fight since the Champ is refusing to fight him and is instead angling for an O'Malley rematch.

Unless the UFC throw Rob Font in there in February? If there is a card or fight night at the end of February, that would be a 4 month turn around for Font. Not bad.

I dont see Chito or Henry getting it. Do they want to give Bautista a big fight after that performance against Aldo? Idk

 

[Tweak896]

Merab should be replacement and get smashed like he's destined to be by Umar. This fight was pretty dumb by the standard of wanting a competitive fight.

 

[TadDunbar]

Good. Fight didn't make sense

 

[flowoftruth]

Metal has already said he won’t fight again until March. They’ll probably find someone else for Umar.

Unless he is fighting anyone else not named Umar , then he will fight in December /January

 

[Psychojoe86]

Dammmmmmn... Merab really might get stripped at this rate. How badly will he insist on ducking this fight? I can't see Dana taking Merab's side here in any fashion.

 

[Hdfi]

Umar is the next Ankalaev

you mean Umar will duke the champion and refuse 2 title shots like Ankalaev did?

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

The news for me was Umar was fighting song for some reason.
