What people aren’t talking about enough is how the matchmakers rushed Merab to take this fight. He said multiple times he was dealing with injuries but I’m sure Dana and the matchmakers offered him enough money he couldn’t refuse. Dana doesn’t like Merab as champ just like he didn’t like Aljo and they rushed him to take the O’Malley fight. Merab schooled this Dagestan at his own game after fighting 4 months ago how can you deny this guy? Greater BW of all time 🐐
I don't know about goat. It just bothers me that he never tries to finish the fight. He wins but his opponents don't have a scratch after the fights. He needs to do some damage
Umar was complaining about his broken hand as if he were a Chess player. This is the Ultimate Fight Competition, dude! People get hurt in the cage! You may break your hand, leg or ribs there! You must be ready for everything! Merab was also injured when he stepped in the cage but he didn`t complain but fought to the last and defended the belt! Go Merab! You`ve deserved this win!
The ways these dudes are talking, you'd think Merab got a 50-40 decision. It was 2-2 going into the third round, and Merab was losing that fight until the last minute and a half. Merab's cardio heavy style is a ticking time bomb, though. He's gonna go on a Tony Ferguson style decline when he gets older and slower.
He went in there with injuries because your bum Nurmagomedov wouldn't stop calling him a duck. He took the fight on 6 week notice, infected leg, lower-back injury and he still made Nurmagomedov look like a fucking amateur. keep coping
You can see it as one round or you can see it as he clearly won 60% of the fight, potentially 80% because R1 was close. And once Umar slowed down, Merab did whatever he wanted...
It was a close match, even with all of Merab's experience, Umar was still able to take first 2 rounds! However the key difference here was technique vs cardio and experience! Merab knows how to dismantle his opponents and he uses his best assets ( HIS CARDIO) to his advantage. like an olympic runner using all of his energy in the last rounds. Merab is simply an animal that not even a Dagestani could beat. Merab THE MACHINE! I'm sure he will inspire many others
I don’t understand how people can hate here in the comments. Merab absolutely schooled Umar. He was standing so the him first two rounds, and those two were very close. The remaining 3 were really clear. Dominant performance while Merab was also composed. Infection plus back injury, one moth less recovery and could not train as he would because he was locked out of PI lmfao. Take that L Nurmagomedovs.
Nah round 5 because of all the showboating was close to going to Umar. Merab has gotta be careful. His style is perfect to get robbed on the scorecards and I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t happened yet considering all of the stars he’s fought
Well then, give him a rematch once his hand heals since he gave Merab the hardest and closest fight he's experienced, and that with a brokem hand from r1 - if you're genuine
then everyone will win against merab. guy has paper skin, gets bruised in one punch. umar took ate some heavy shots as well, obvious one was he wobbled back and instead of merab trying to go for finish he showboated. still, umar's skin didn't open up.
It was a close fight with close rounds. Umar took no damage unlike Merab. What's the narrative about Merab completely winning against Umar. Just won the last 3 rounds...
Ya he took no damage that’s why merab has more significant strikes🤣🤣 you are funny guy. Just because he face didn’t cut open doesn’t mean he didn’t take any damage idiot
It amazes me how their fighter wins and had an injury its all oh its no big deal to have an injury but if their fighter loses and has an injury that same team will be making excuses because of the injury. Smh.
Yes umar was easier than expected thats why he won 1st two rounds ..and to be honest merab didnt give any damage only his showmanship gave him all 3 rounds with umar going tired
@debarshibanerji7135 Merab missed so many times yet his sig. Strikes went up. Those stats mean jackshit. He caused no damage. Merab is shit. Just has decent cardio, which he suspiciously got after his 3rd or 4th fight in the UFC
Haha in the first 2-3 rounds merab shooted so many times but wasn‘t able to take him down once and you sayed „we wanted to give away the first 2 round“. Nice reverse engineering from you coach. Try to be a bit more authentic coach
@@mountain102 reverse engineering? Lol. anyway, Merab wanted to stand with umar in the first two rounds. Showed umar the take down, but never followed thru. It was strategy, and still.
Shocked Merab got that decision. He was clearly outclassed and out struck. He didn't know how to counter Umar's skills and got beaten up accordingly. Although he lunged at Umar in desperation he usually paid the price as his face showed afterwards. Despite the show boating he looked desperate. Not a fan of either but Merab nicked a win for sure. Not a fight to be proud of. "Easier than expected"; utter bollox!
He was easier than expected because he broke his hand in the first round lmao. And Merab was losing that 5th round until the end. Mark my words, Umar will come back and end up taking that belt from Merab.
Yes, it was easy because he took the fight with a fractured hand. That is why he won the first 2-3 rounds and lost the other because his hand was broken. He will come back stronger and will avenge his loss.
Dude he got outskilled. A fighters inability to not break their hand reflects on their skill, avoiding injuries is part of the sport, if you can't do it, then you aren't that good
Im getting sick of these Las Vegas coaches trying to take credit for fighters who are only there cus the ufc p.i is there otherwise they would have no good fighters
Hand is not related to Cardio? You’re a smart coach you know too well that compensating your power hand with the legs for five rounds DOES affect your cardio big time
Merab fought like a circus clown. He couldnt even finish a broken handed umar. The only thing he has is cardio. If umar hadnt broken his hand he would've won
Dagestani fighters are overrated. they have bad cardio and terrible skills, but why are they always the favorites in every fight? Because many Muslim fans are blindly loyal to them without seeing the reality. No matter how bad they are, they will always be the favorites, and this was proven in the Umar vs Merab fight. The same goes for Makhachev; he's also weak, terrible cardio, terrible striking, Moicano almost got him as seen in this fight. But fortunately, he was able to capitalize on an opportunity with a submission. I think Arman or Topuria will absolutelly smoke Islam easily.
You are wrong there. Islam is the most well rounded guy in ,p4p list. He has different tools to end a fight- submission, kicks, judo and really uses his sambo,bjj, judo and striking. and his fight iq is really high and unspoken of. The finish can come from any angle. Difficult to prepare such a fighter.
Merab beat umer in his own game wrestling lol 😂😂😂 If these dagestani fights with wrestlers they got chance of loosing big time Arman had chance too he’s good wrestlers 🤼

Us merab fans have been saying it for months, but the bathtub brigade wouldn't listen and kept calling him a duck and casuals ran with it
So glad Merab won
For sure! They wanted Merab to lose
Merab is the GOAT. He should take 6 months off and tour the world, taking a rest.
I don't know about goat. It just bothers me that he never tries to finish the fight. He wins but his opponents don't have a scratch after the fights. He needs to do some damage
The BW GOAT for sure, the resume speaks for itself.
18:30 - an absolute jackass move by that commission guy. Fully deserving of a slap.
Merab will be the 👑 for TIME
Umar was easy, that's why the reason Merab won was from the last shot in the fifth round. If merab did not land that shot it would've been 3-2.
keep coping, your boy got ragdolled

Well done Merab 👍
Khabib going to grab the belt from Dana 😂. Dana was like go away😂
That was brilliant! Khabib deluded
Merab vs Pantoja would be a good fight to see with two monsters of cardio
Pantoja doesn't have monster cardio, he's just very good at fighting through fatigue
Thank you Coach for making Merab from machine to Terminator
For sure with Umar having one broken's hand since 1st round, it was easier than expected for Merab.
We need a rematch!!
No need a rematch, omner got fraud checked.... on to the next one...
Rematch would go the exact same way
You are forgetting merab was injured too.
What if he breaks his hand in a rematch? Seems like Umar's bones are too fragile to fight Merab.
Merab has had a broken nose from the start and what now?
How was he easier than expected if merab won by one round? Credit to merab he deserved it, but it was competitive fight
49:46 with injury😂 Dagestani fan mad. Mad
You can see it as one round or you can see it as he clearly won 60% of the fight, potentially 80% because R1 was close. And once Umar slowed down, Merab did whatever he wanted...
Agree. Either 48:47 or 49:46@@DL13650
Merab won 4-1
@ yeah if your eyes were closed for the first two rounds
100% merab would have finished umar imo. He backed off the pace in round 5 and still won comfortably

Exactly. I hate these new fans
If you lose last 3 rounds and trying to survive your first 2 rounds dont matter

Fathers plan my ass, easy money
Umar didn’t break his hand.

Merab had a stuffed back and leg and umar couldn’t get him outta there,
Yes, it was easy because he took the fight with a fractured hand. That is why he won the first 2-3 rounds and lost the other because his hand was broken. He will come back stronger and will avenge his loss.
