The threatening Aura umar Emanates is very semilar to khabib's.... Its a coldness that hides an actual calamity. Islam 's energy is completely opposite to theirs his is very chill, calm and in control like a calm ocean.
Merab is scared and I don't blame him, it's actually a lot harder to win 1 round against a nurmagomedov than it is to wining a ufc title and defending. Khabib 29-0 Umar 18-0 Usman 18-0 A combined 65-0 with Zero rounds lost... They are the main characters with plot armor and Merab knows he is about to take a beating.
Bro what are you talking about do your research Khabib lost 2 rounds in his career 1 to Mgregor and 1 to Justin Gathje you think people won't know your a just making things up when we can look at the stats to any fight online@nikobellic9004
@haydenherman8656 depends on what you mean by better. Islam has better wins than anyone in history but his wining streak isn't as long as khabib 29 and 0 my guy, or as dominant... And I said the nurmagomedov family Islam is part of the clan but he isn't a nurmagomedov.... I can't believe I need to explain this And as for khabibs two rounds he lost are nonsense he should have won both.
Merab proved in the press conference that he is not happy to fight with Umar and during face off that shiver from Merab was hilarious and icing on the cake from Dana "Get ready for a disaster" was the punch line.
Hahaha 😂 ... now everyone knows the real reasons why Merab was trying to avoid Umar ... he is trying not to embarrass the Numagomedov, but Umar asked for it!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@MM33003 He believes that Tapuria deserved a title fight after one victory and Omar does not He talks about respect, and he did not respect O'Malley or Yan All umar said: I want a title fight, so he started making excuses about respect
how he is scared after agreeing to fight him in next 4 month after winning the belt? when he could avoid him by using umars religion month ramadan and fight against someone that time he could avoid him for 1 year if he wanted but went to office himself and asked for fight cuz he tired of depressed online coward kids like you
Merab loves jacuzzi too he is been caught on video in a lot of them , so it makes when Islam said you can come next 😂, lets just hope aljo gives merab permission to go 🤣
Notice how Ilia Topuria also acts like Connor. Remember when Ilia snatched the belt at the press conference (just like Connor) and Ilia has tattoos similar to Connor. I don't understand why Ilia and Merab want to copy Connor. It's not working 🚫
Merab:me and petr yan fought many good opponents in our division who you fought to deserve a title shot against me? Umar:Cory Sandhagen since he was ranked at 3
he is fighting 4 months after winning the belt he could duck umar 1 year atleast using ramadan month and fighting someone else that time respect the champ as islam said
There is a photo with dagestani fighters not all but Islam is in it I think, in a jacuzzi together. And that was the reference and Islam said to Merab that he can come too@@RiriRara-id7zt
It's about jacuzzi means a a big bath tub where many people's groups can take bath but in this case even jacuzzi is small for group of dagestani fighters they adjust forcefully them self in tub with each other and maybe umar taking pictures 📷 or he is also there

Merab literally disrespected Sean for months in every way possible to get a title fight Umar said nothing He saw Merab avoiding mentioned it & asked Dana to book fight with someone else. I dont know why some ppl like merab are so delusional & hypocrite. But atleast Merab accepted the fight instead of keep ducking contendors like disgusting Alex & Jon.
Umar essentially said that Merab was ducking him, Merab was saying Umar didn't deserve the title shot as he only has one ranked win and that he was being gifted this unfair advantage because he is cousin with Khabib (kinda true). Merab believed at the time that Figueiredo deserved the title shot more as he was a former champion with more ranked wins, e when asked what fight should Umar take to become number 1 contender he answered Petr Yan, but the UFC was pushing for the Umar fight so what ended happening was Figueiredo fought Yan and lost. Merab then talked about Yan being more deserving as he 50-45 Figueiredo (though it was a competitive fight) who was on a good streak on one of his most impressive performances but since Merab himself has 50-45 Yan in the past most people don't see that fight as appealing right now, leaving Umar in an advantageous position. Things are hardly ever black and white, Merab has said multiple times that he would fight Umar if that's what the UFC and fans wanted or if he felt too disrespected, despite thinking Umar didn't deserve the title shot and even promoted the fight a little, but he was also vocal about fighting O'Malley in a rematch, and O'Malley clearly doesn't deserve this chance (the context however was different, Sean was talking online that he had won against Merab and the current champion said that the previous champion was such an easy fight that he was willing to fight him in less than a month of preparation and would dominate him again, he has said that for Umar he would like more time to prepare). Then there is the fact that Divalishivili intended to come back to fighting around march, normal wait time for most champions, however that's during Ramadan, time where some muslim fighters don't fight, Umar being one of them, so it had a big chance of being a move to make Umar's path harder , pretty common among champions, nothing new. However Merab suddenly decided to accept the fight way sooner to be in January, making the situation very weird for some people. Dana said Merab demanded the Umar fight because of the disrespect he was receiving, which is hard to believe alone when he didn't want to fight Umar before so many people thought not only that he was ducking but also that the UFC forced the fight on him, which also doesn't make sense because he could have waited as he said he would and the UFC wasn't going to do much, Umar had already a new fight announced against a Chinese ranked fighter (can't remember his name) and UFC 311 already had a co main event Jamahal vs Jiri. The truth is probably in the middle, Merab probably fears Umar a little (Umar is theoretically one of the hardest matches for Merab in the division, although he is not necessarily the hardest or the only one as people are saying), he clearly believes Umar is being gifted an undeserving title shot (he has good arguments for that) and he clearly feels disrespected and has some anger issues, he has been seen scrapping with a lot of people over insults and similar things, even people way bigger than him. So what's likely a mix of fear, anger, determination and want for recognition is motivating Merab to fight way sooner than most champions would despite it being a fight he didn't want. Whether you are on Merab's side or Umar's (or if you are neutral) will depend on your own opinions, biases and reading of the situation, but this is the overall situation.
@@viniciusdias5887 thanks for the summery, mate👍.but has there been any real insult thrown around each other,and also my prediction is merab 49-46,or close/robbery decision win for umar
This belief that Merab is afraid of Umar is going to backfire Umar if they start underestimating him. I don't agree how Merab acts and yes it really looks bad and looks like he's avoiding and he does not really explain well what he means. As I understand, he's mad because he literally had to go through every fighter in order to get the title shot, especially last few fights when he defeated former champs, there was a high chance that he could loose and say good bye to the belt forever and now when Umar got the chance to fight for the belt the way he wanted, Merab got upset. He's also upset because when Suga won the belt, he didn't call Merab and called Chito and when Merab asked why he was not next, UFC told him that champ calls whoever he wants and now when he's the champ, they didn't let him choose the next fight nor the next fight date.
Absolutely correct! I think he has solid reason to be angry, but Umar is really the next guy so this fight will be the best in the division, I think Merab takes it.
@@Lukulus1 yes, it’s in Merab’s interests to fight Umar as soon as possible because let’s be real, he’s not gonna be in his prime forever and if he has a chance to bear Umar, it is now.
@DanaBlanco-UFC saying he’s the most boring champ means that either you are biased or just didn’t watch enough fights. He’s fight with Yan, Cejudo and Suga was quite solid and fun to watch. It was boring when he fought Jose Aldo, i agree but he’s being bullied for being boring based on that one fight. Also, what does AI has to do with this lol
Merab's situation is his fault. He could've fought for the belt years ago. Aljo was on top & Merab didn't want the title fight so he continued to fight other contenders. Umar's situation isn't his fault. Sandhagen was the only man in the top 10 that would sign a contract to fight Umar. Nobody else wants that fight. Umar called out everyone at the top when he fought Sandhagen. Absolutely nobody has called out Umar. The only man that can be forced to fight contenders is the champion. Merab treating it like a personal attack but it isn't. It's simply the fight to make.
P4P King Islam Makhachev is the best MMA fighter of all times. Makhachev will be UFC welterweight champion. He is universal. His judo, graррling, sambo, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling level is extremely high. That's why no one can submit Makhachev. If Oliveira and Arman couldn't submit Islam, Topuria definitely can't it. Topuria even couldn't finish Josh Emmett and Youssef Zalal. How does Topuria submit Islam? Shavkat Rakhmonov, Max Holloway, Arman Tsarukyan and Justin Gaethje never can defeat Islam. Remember: How Did He finished Gleison Tibau, Alexander Volkanovski, Dustin Poirier, Dan Hooker and Charles Oliveira? Fighter who receive the belt from Islam Makhachev has not been born yet
Just stop the glaze. Real fans have seen Islam stiff on the canvas. He's not invincible. If you're really are acting like Topuria can't find his chin then you are coping. Not saying it will happen but it's undoubtedly possible.
Im sure if umar was the champ he would say to any contender "he doesn't deserve a title shot. He hasn't fought nobody". because let's be honest ALL dagestani are like that
all champs say that.. champs like Islam will only give their personal opinion on who deserves it or not, but in the end he's ready to fight whoever the UFC wants without making a fuss.. because they're so sure they're the best in their division.
Кто из Дагестана так говорил???? Хабиб чтобы получить пояс провел 10 боёв!!! Ислам провёл 11 боев!!! Мераб так много провёл лишь потому что он не хотел драться с Алжо!!! Мераб плачет потому что привык легко бороться с боксёрами😂😂😂😂 А тут Умар молодой заряженный со всеми навыками и борется лучше чем Мераб! По идее Мераб бы не стал чемпионом если бы до этого встретится с Умаром!!!
А кто заслужил за пояс драться в лёгком весе??? Топурия или Царукян???? Топурия избегает в своём весе и хочет драться с Исламом!? Ты про это???Ислам уже Царукяна один раз побил, Оливейру побил, порье побил! Поэтому он имеет полное право претендовать на второй пояс!!! А кого побил Мераб или Топурия!?? В полулёгком претендент Евлоев с которым НОЛЬ шансов у Топурия!
Umar has enormous privileges to be given a chance to fight for the championship belt so early. The name Nurmagomedov clearly opens every door in the UFC.

Absolutely correct! I think he has solid reason to be angry, but Umar is really the next guy so this fight will be the best in the division, I think Merab takes it.
@@Lukulus1 yes, it’s in Merab’s interests to fight Umar as soon as possible because let’s be real, he’s not gonna be in his prime forever and if he has a chance to bear Umar, it is now.
@DanaBlanco-UFC saying he’s the most boring champ means that either you are biased or just didn’t watch enough fights. He’s fight with Yan, Cejudo and Suga was quite solid and fun to watch. It was boring when he fought Jose Aldo, i agree but he’s being bullied for being boring based on that one fight. Also, what does AI has to do with this lol
Merab's situation is his fault. He could've fought for the belt years ago. Aljo was on top & Merab didn't want the title fight so he continued to fight other contenders.
Umar's situation isn't his fault. Sandhagen was the only man in the top 10 that would sign a contract to fight Umar. Nobody else wants that fight. Umar called out everyone at the top when he fought Sandhagen. Absolutely nobody has called out Umar.
The only man that can be forced to fight contenders is the champion. Merab treating it like a personal attack but it isn't. It's simply the fight to make.
"I was not there" 😂😂 somehow it's hilarious
P4P King Islam Makhachev is the best MMA fighter of all times. Makhachev will be UFC welterweight champion. He is universal. His judo, graррling, sambo, kickboxing, jiu-jitsu and wrestling level is extremely high. That's why no one can submit Makhachev. If Oliveira and Arman couldn't submit Islam, Topuria definitely can't it. Topuria even couldn't finish Josh Emmett and Youssef Zalal. How does Topuria submit Islam? Shavkat Rakhmonov, Max Holloway, Arman Tsarukyan and Justin Gaethje never can defeat Islam. Remember: How Did He finished Gleison Tibau, Alexander Volkanovski, Dustin Poirier, Dan Hooker and Charles Oliveira? Fighter who receive the belt from Islam Makhachev has not been born yet
Just stop the glaze. Real fans have seen Islam stiff on the canvas. He's not invincible.
If you're really are acting like Topuria can't find his chin then you are coping. Not saying it will happen but it's undoubtedly possible.
I am fans of Islam too, but plz don't be like this he is just only man.
When Dana says in Mojahed animated videos, "get ready! get ready for a disaster"
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Merab don't scared of Umar
He scared
@@Nocontextzz why he fight after 4 month winning the belt? he could avoid him by ramadan and fight with someone else that time
Umar sounded like he REALLY wanted to be in that Jacuzzi 🤣
If anyone missed the actual press conference, it's all here
The Flyweight division has been cooked for years. It cannot be a comparison to any other division.
Im sure if umar was the champ he would say to any contender "he doesn't deserve a title shot. He hasn't fought nobody". because let's be honest ALL dagestani are like that
all champs say that.. champs like Islam will only give their personal opinion on who deserves it or not, but in the end he's ready to fight whoever the UFC wants without making a fuss.. because they're so sure they're the best in their division.
Кто из Дагестана так говорил???? Хабиб чтобы получить пояс провел 10 боёв!!! Ислам провёл 11 боев!!! Мераб так много провёл лишь потому что он не хотел драться с Алжо!!! Мераб плачет потому что привык легко бороться с боксёрами😂😂😂😂 А тут Умар молодой заряженный со всеми навыками и борется лучше чем Мераб! По идее Мераб бы не стал чемпионом если бы до этого встретится с Умаром!!!
А кто заслужил за пояс драться в лёгком весе??? Топурия или Царукян???? Топурия избегает в своём весе и хочет драться с Исламом!? Ты про это???Ислам уже Царукяна один раз побил, Оливейру побил, порье побил! Поэтому он имеет полное право претендовать на второй пояс!!! А кого побил Мераб или Топурия!?? В полулёгком претендент Евлоев с которым НОЛЬ шансов у Топурия!
"You have to be MAN first"
18 jan Merab win and mojahed cry all day
Вот посмотрите! Умар свои колокольчики положит Мерабу на лицо😂😂😂😂
Umar has enormous privileges to be given a chance to fight for the championship belt so early. The name Nurmagomedov clearly opens every door in the UFC.
Что ты несёшь😂😂😂
Умар побил главного претендента на пояс! Корри Сендхаген человек который побил Петра Яна!
I understand the bias but Merab wasn't scared at all of Umar making him look like he was afraid in the end.
@@molaksterssklmk4640 nah he’s scared
Plz make Aljamain VS Evloev. Humble request to you Mr Mojahed
