Merab is a friend that everyone wishes to have.u cant see one second in aljos fights when he isnt happy for his brother success
Yea he seems like a fictional character, like Sam from LOTR.
He (Morab)could beat Aljo, I bet, but he's letting Aljo have his shine. What an awesome friend, In a sport where it's everyman for himself, and their is no friends.
That was seriously one of the best moments in my 20+ years of being an MMA fan. Seeing Merab just happily standing there in between these two intense dudes with a big smile on his face wearing Sean's Thriller jacket...I was like, is this happening? It is! LOL
Merab is such a likable guy! .
Until you watch him fight
‘I guess cos he’s tall and looks like a Christmas tree’ 😂😂😂😂
Lolll
The fact that Merab did a complete 180 with the fans from the Aldo fight to now is mad impressive. Dude is legit a fan favorite of the division now and has ppl wanting him to fight for the belt 😂👏🏾
the fact that you and other idiots can be a fan of failed takedowns and zero mma skills backed with insane cardio is just sad. but i guess he took a coat a now he is funny...children
Nah I still want him to lose his fighting style is terrible but he’s a funny guy
@@Atomic952 L take but atleast you’re honest
Everyone always wanted him to fight for the belt. He was only disliked because he and Aljo are the best 2 in the division and many think he beats Aljo but he refuses to fight Aljo. That's the issue with him. That and he told everyone that Jose Aldo was retiring rather than keeping it to himself and letting the legend tell the fans himself. That was a big L by him.
@@DreammakerDev nah bro you’re just a bandwagon fan , you only dislike certain fighter cause it’s a popular thing to do you have zero integrity, an epitome of a filthy “casual”
I really like the fact the Aljo, Merab and Al seem to have bonded as brothers and look out for each other. I do hope that Aljo beats Sean and moves up giving Merab his chance at championship glory.
Yep
Gay
@@derekcarruthers2197 something is on your mind
I remember how so many people disliked Merab after the Aldo fight and to see him get his praises now that he's #1 contender is so great. Plus, the man is so wholesome
People don't see that fight the right way. No one is able to just stall Aldo like that. Boring fight maybe but extremely impressive.
he is still disliked for not having any title aspiration and his style of fight spamming half ass takedowns is unpleasing to the eye
@@listenup7284 it’s just dumb how this guy gets rewarded for spamming failed takedowns 😭 it’s only impressive to watch because of whatever performance enchantment drug he’s using for that gas tank that seems its bottomless.
@@pointnine5030 Some fighters use boxing punches to easily score takedowns, but Merab does the opposite, Merab uses takedown attempts to outbox his opponent. Merab defeated the strong boxer Piotr Jan with this strategy, Merab landed twice as many significant blows as Piotr Jan. This style of Merab is liked by many, including Conor McGregor
*dislike
Best guest on the show. Despite Merab being new to the English language he manages to convey exactly what he's saying so well, it's really impressive how fast he picked up the language. So happy to see my fellow Georgian on the big stage and finally getting the recognition he deserves!
My man fought yan with brocken hand
And still outstruck him :D
Yan was injured too
@@Blileygerman merab showed mri photos and also his swollen hand and any proof yan was injured?
Love this guy, super humble and great energy hope he becomes champ
Man, I really, really hope these guys never fall out, Merab and Aljo. That the world desperately needs this sort of wholesomeness goes without saying.
The type of guy that can make a dying man smile. Salute to Merab.
I’ve became a Big Fan of Merab!!!🤗
This guys a Goat
Merab is Phukin hilarious, love this guy
Merab is really really good guy,he has really good heart plus he is a premium class joker he funny af
Ariel had no problems when the ufc proposed unranked 1'malley to petr yan number 1 ranked at the time.
Petr yan wasn't even payed more money or anything to accept that fight.
It's just Ariel being Ariel, hating on the nurmagomedov's and the Ali fighters.
it properly terrifies him to see more Dominance guys getting close to belts. There isn't a single Dominance fighter he shows respect towards, he is just automatically opposed to them because of his Ali grudge.
Ali abdelasleaze
with umar, a merab has an injury, but not with others😂
Yes brother you are right, he is afraid of umar🤦🏻♂️ you trippin man
@@dariakran Umar would’ve maul him
@@hmsp7799 why because he is relative of khabib? Bro relax
Uncle hawani you can literally hear how genuine merab is towards u. Speaks volumes. We love u lol
I’m not injured if I’m fighting old Henry Cejudo but I’m badly injured I’m fighting young Umar Nurmagomedov 😂😂😂
Why UFC offered him Umar ? Because he refused to fight the champ and he is killing top contenders who are mostly strikers, I would do the same to him if I were Dana
I was laughing so hard,when merab took the jacket.smiling at o'malley.that was hilarious.
I wonder if aljo would be as good as a friend if the situation was reversed....merab is becoming a fan favorite. Shows how just being 100% yourself is so great
Merab dog walks O'Malley
Merab gives Suga a 50-43 and a soda
Never knew merab was hood like that kicking in it Atlanta, Georgia
not atlanta, republic of Georgia, sakartvelo
This dude is awesome!
Naah Merab is my new fav fighter
Bro is hilarious 😂
This guy has great energy lol
I think there is finally a guy who is even nicer than Wonderboy and thats Merab Dvalishvili. Thats a good soul there man.
I had the most confused look on my face when Merab said he was ducking OMalley 😂😂😂 glad he fixed it immediately
😂😂😂
Most honest fighter in the planet loll nah Merab is a g he wins against o Malley
Merab only ducks fighting once he fights. he likes to fail takedowns and knee the ties. he is ducking fights
I love this guy
MACHINE🔥
Dude dodged Umar saying he was injured now he wants to fight Henry injured...So much for fighting anybody anytime anywhere.
Great guy
Solid guy
Merab is that guy
interesting he would fight henry or cory right away but not umar!! umar is gonna be champion
Funny how Ariel doesn’t want Merab to fight Umar! 😂
He’s a hater, always been.
True dude
Haha, Merabs the man.
Celebrate New Jacket hahaha I like this Jacket. He talks the same way he writes.
My wife came running in the room to see if I was ok when Merab put that coat on, Blahahaha ! ! !
Lol ariel dont want merab to fight umar, let the fan decide
Merab is a quick learner, already got aljo’s “I’m injured, but not actually injured. Can take a fight but can’t take a fight” thing down pat
Got that built in excuse premeditated lol
@@ivey_96 right right, excuses for what ? their wins ? get a life bozo
He's a really goofy nice guy. Tall Christmas tree lollll. Dudes way cooler than expected.
🔥🔥🔥
His English is very good 👍
this guy made yan look ez not too long ago. he's a beast
MERAB!
Merab: “They wanted me to fight two months after the Peter Yan fight”
Ariel: “Don’t let ‘em bully ya son!”
Ariel the slimy Jewish 🐍
Fight Umar the fans would love it.
So Christmas tree vs Aljo next for bantamweight.
You can fight Henry, but when it comes to Umar, you're injured 😂
Umar in may, may 13th or Henry at late August, he has time to heal Fighting Henry in late August, May 13th is a couple of days ahead.
its almost like theres alot more benefit to fighting henry cejudo than risky fight umar who is ranked number 11 in the division hurrrr durrrrrr
@@05548A he's already #1. What benefit does he get from fighting the older cejudo that just lost to aljo? Beating an undefeated nurmagomedov will get more talk than beating cejudo right now
@@moltn__5234 no umar was ready to wait until he recover, and merab at first he said i agreed to fight umar but his coach .. said u have to recover, and then later he start talking about how umar is not top in the ranks... It's big change in excuse
Bro u really think merab is afraid of that Dagestnian guy? Please don’t say such stupid things. Caucasians never afraid of each other, only respect.
I like this guy 😂😂
I always knee Merab was a solid good guy but now Im a real fan
Dude is as wholesome as a glass of cold milk
STOP TRYING TO GET MY BOY IN TROUBLE WITH THE UFC ARIEL DAMM
Mans was working hard to instigate 😭😭 leave the innocent merab alone dawg haha
🐐🐐🐐
MERABBBBBBBBBBBB
Am I the only one that doesn't think Merab vs Cejudo is competitive?
I think Merab would just out work him and Cejudo doesn't have the power to keep him off.
Nah
Henry would destroy merab he ten times better than merab all merab does is wrestle Henry a gold medalist dummy
such an exciting fighting style literally can't wait
That’s likely what will happen but does that mean you won’t watch it if they make that fight?
Yes I think you are the only one. Merab dismisses henry easily.
Merab’s knuckle was so swollen.
Umar was offered for may, cejudo was offered for the end of august. How is that so hard to understand that he has time to heal by august and not by the end of may. Haters just wanna hate.
Hes a little goofy but that guy is an absolute killer and a great friend/teamate
killer failed takedowns
merb in Jamaica was funny
But not Umar... hmmmmm 🤔🤔🤔🤔
His hand is broken, and the offer is to fight Umar in may or fight Henry in August and let his hand heal. It's not hard to understand why.
@@moltn__5234 he should fight Umar in October Abu Dhabi
✊
on that Lance Armstrong EPO cocktail
Wheres merabs jacket
Merab is funny as ish
Still willing to fight old Cejudo while injured but no chance he will fight Umar who is hungry and in his prime rn
Umar would crush him
No
He called him a Christmas 🎄 tree😅
MeRobYouJacket
შენ გენაცვალე მერაბ
call umar next interview
His English isn't as good as his grappling but then again he's the best grappler on earth at that weight... much love I wish he would beat aljamain tho... Sterling is delaying this guy's money fights big time
He wasnt injured when he jumped on the top of the cage
Merab Dvalished , Petr Yan vili vili bad.
You can use it.. people I know it's dope Lil play on words aint nothing on top but a bucket and a mop and a Illustrated book about birds.
How come Merab didn’t wanna fight Umar injured?
Risk and reward, umar is not highly ranked, he is still upcoming.
Merab is the Georgian version of RNS
Aljo beats omally
Merab beats Henry
Aljo moves up
Merab vs Sandman for title
Aljo vs Sandman???
@@nurbolotturdubaev5776does he think cory is a 145er?
@@SilentSix i think so :)
@@nurbolotturdubaev5776 We should've known he didn't know what he was talking about with his avatar being him next to a bike. Damn cyclists, stick to the bike lanes and spandex.
@@SilentSix rofl 😹😹😹
Ariel doesn’t care about the fighters. Why is he trying to get him in trouble.
Ey merab How's life at brokeback longo? 😂
Then how come he refused to fight umar beacuse he is injured but he wants to fight henry ?
Arnt we all injured
But not Umar😅
Merab and Aljo with the “injuries” so they have time to get the dope out of their system
Why does merab and aljo always say their injured but they training everyday but everyone knows if ur injured u can't train cuz u will make it worse so obviously they not injured bunch of frauds making excuses
Stop whining
@@fantasma.b it's not whining it's facts they always say they injured if they don't want to fight then retire don't make excuses
As much as I hate Ariel, he's not wrong to tell Merab not to fight Umar, because he knows, Umar smashes him and his dream to become a champ will be gone. Merab is clearly afraid of Umar, he scrambles to talk about Khabib team, he lost his words.
Arielle
If there is a stock to be bought, I am buying on Ariel’s stock. I like how Ariel’s has evolved, I do agree with some fighters comments few years ago, that he instigated beef, but now Ariel is respectful, mostly fair on his points and consistent. How often you see interviewers trashing x or y fighter, just to interview that fighter and then trash other fighters, Ariel feels genuine. what I also love, he lets people to talk, he has to keep it this way, it is so common as interviewers grow old and well known, they start speaking themselves too much. That was the case of Charlie rose for example, before he was fired for sexual improprieties, he used to spend way too much talking about his views, or what he thought, which were interesting, some of those, but I tuned to see what the interviewee has to tell, not to hear the views (all the time) of the interviewer. Love from Palo Alto.
UFC requests #11 guy to #1 contemder 8 week notice, its just crazy lol
This guy is letting sterling take all his glory what a shame. Cejudo is going to destroy this guy.
Why's all these fan boys tossin merab's salad he was trina be a pest and steal SSO's jacket he knows Dana & Co planned to have them facedown after the fight
You got that wrong. Sean handed him the jacket, lol.
Even as a huge suga fan, merab wearing his jacket was hilarious I don't see how you can hate on the guy tbh.
i clowned this guy when he beat Yan for the amount of failed takedowns, but considering he did all that, while having a broken hand, that's crazy!
Merab seems like a really nice guy but he doesn't understand that he is getting unfairly and meanly used for another's advantage. It's the dumbest thing in combat sports to be ranked number 1 and beat the leftovers of the champion who is a friend. Anyway, whatever makes him happy. Funny that he even is ranked so high by the media when he doesn't want to become a champion, and it's not like Sterling gonna vacate the belt if he loses at featherweight... Only hope for him is Sterling losing against Malley.
Do you get the fact that they're close they help train, hangout each other, eat together, probably talk everyday. But you still want them to lose all that cz of money. Don't you have a best friend?
@@liso6998 You actually believe that Sterling would have done the same if the roles were reversed? I don't know about any friend at all paying the bills at the end of the day. Most sparring partners end up fighting each other sooner or later. Jon fought Rashad, Anderson fought Vitor, Burns fought Usman, Colby fought Masvidal/Woodley/Lawler, Smith wants to fight Jamahal, Gane fought Francis, and the list goes on and on... Even in boxing, everyone has fought each other before either from the amateurs or later on during the sparring sessions before fighting for a big payday... Just think about it; has anyone being ranked number 1 spot and refused the title shot other than Merab while his friend is having a title reign?
@@alcottdevalte7440 I think this is one thing that he’s gonna regret eventually but I respect the loyalty.
@@manii8397 Facts. Personally, I think Merab is better than Sterling who looks extremely beatable but yet has an effective style. Just gonna be interesting to see if his winning streaks continues while Sterling is the champ...
Tell me that you gonna loss against Umar nurmagomedov without telling me that you gonna loss.👌💀( is so silly that Ariel saying nurmagomedov didn't have a name as an excuse..😭)
💀 by the way this comment get deleted 2 times why idk.
PROTECT MERAB AT ALL TIMES
Gay boi
@@derekcarruthers2197 EAD
not real fighter if pick opponent.
He's the OMalley looks like a Christmas tree all the colors , He's got boxing fractures I had a couple in my hands his is shifted so he needs surgery
merab wanna be champion but too scared to fight aljo......
