      he has great personality, olus which is genuine and not persona like almost all others.
      Expresses that personality even in cage, with cray stuff, which is veeery rare.
      Has unprecedented pace, which is fun to watch.
      And has very inspiring background.

    Whole narrative that Merab is afraid of fight is just so casual level... When you fought for title after 9+ win streak in UFC, and you get the guy who is granted title shot after beating one guy in top 10 is just disrespectful. Dana just hates Merab, he wants another muslim champ to impress his oil wealthy "friends". Hope Merab will dominate whole fight and make Dana eat his words once again. It's funny if you are really into MMA you know that Khabib had the same struggle getting a title shot like Merab, Dana played so many tricks on him and all of the sudden he can't get enough of him... Billionaire friends really help you to be Dana's/UFC's favourite.

    Dagestan and Georgia have both been invaded by the 🇷🇺 empire. Both have been victims of it. Willing to bet Merab doesn't view it as .He even mentioned Umar was Dagestani not 🇷🇺. Islam seemed to take offense and told a reporters Merab doesn't know what he's talking about that Umar is 🇷🇺. When speaking to a 🇷🇺 reporter. I felt like Merab wasn't insulting Umar. Just that Merab is against imperialist 🇷🇺 regime.
    Merab first caught my attention whenever he spoke out against the 🇷🇺 invasion of Ukraine. He talked about when his country was at war with them. That impressed me about him. Started watching him more and gotta say glad we have people like Merab who immigrate to America who set good examples for men. Felt the same about Francis. Glad both hard work paid off.

    Bravo, sir 👏👏👏 you said what I have been saying for years - what Abdulmanap and the Nurmagomedov dynasty did is far beyond what Gracies did, a feat that will likely never be repeated. You should make an entire video about that on Abdulmanap's birthday or something.
    91-1 combined record of 4 of his students from a remote village on top of a mountain in a country most of us had never heard of, and even that single loss was only when Islam and Mendez convinced him to go against his own plan.
    Abdulmanap said it was his biggest regret giving in to them.
    A SINGLE LOSS was his biggest regret in life. What a giant of a man.
    God I hope Abdulmanap is somewhere up there looking down and rejoycing at the level of success and admiration he has achieved. The most legendary story in all of combat sports history, period.

    I made the same argument the other day like I feel kind of bad for Merab because he has put in so much work and finally gets the belt and in a couple months he faces his worst nightmare. This is why Merab is so angry about all this - he probably beats everyone but Umar.
    edit: I would not be surprised if Merab catches an injury.

      It would’ve helped Merab if he could finish anybody. As much as I’d like the UFC to run on merit, it doesn’t, and Merab is the antithesis of how UFC rewards tire shots

One guy gets it after a single ranked win, the other one gets it after dominating champions.

      Having endless cardio, and using it for exclusively control time isn’t going to do you many favours in the eyes of the UFC. He shouldve learnt a submission or two and he probably would’ve got the shot in half the time

    1. I don’t think Merab is a boring fighter. This is MMA. Go watch Muay thai in ONE or Glory Kickboxing if you believe it has to be KO’s.
    2. I’m pumped for the Umar fight. I’ve seen Umar gas (harrrrd) AND I’ve Cory almost nullify Umars wrestling. And I’ve seen Merab manage distance quite beautifully against Sean. Like this is gonna be a fuuuun fight!
