    Something seems off about his output. He wasn’t winded at all, even between rounds. It was like a jogging pace of breath. Also I don’t believe he was doing this a few years ago, his output I mean. He was a good prospect with flaws, but the past few fights have just been insane. What he did to Yan was absurd. Yan was legitimately afraid to shake his hand at the end of the fight. I want to believe it’s natural, but I just don’t.

We have had guys with crazy pressure, Colby when he was coming up for an example did something similar. But Merab seems much stronger then Colby was at that time pound for pound ofc. Merabs pace don’t slow down and he can physically over power other strong fighters like Yan, Henry, Aldo. I’m not saying he is taking something but go watch his earlier fights in the UFC where he gases out and even lost to much lower competition. To suddenly mid Career get cardio that rivals the greatest Cardio guys we have ever seen. As well as getting stronger physically. Yes I’ve seen people reinvigorate their career like Charles Olivera. But he is pretty much has the same attributes but worked on his technique on the feet to the point he can have a battle on the feet with the best strikers in the UFC and win. There is something fishy going on with Merab that’s all I’m going to say. Just look in to his earlier career fights and look what he is doing now.

You are assuming something fishy is going on. Merab in the past was "mid", so what? People change. Maybe he did not have enough money, resources or even high quality training options. Tell me the "facts" and I am willing to reconsider my opinion as well. He has great lungs. Saw how he swam across a pool underwater without taking a break, ( guy on some drugs would not be able to do that, at least do not think so) does crazy stuff all the time, like climbing trees, cliffs, mountains, buildings, sliding / swimming fast rivers / icy waters... Also, I am pretty sure Merab was hiding behind the Champion Aljo for a long time. He just did not want to fight for the belt against his friend. And Dana did not give him much fighting options cause Merab was not " marketable " for a long time. He only recently gained some recognition and fan base.

In aerobic state, it is easier to maintain energy system when talking a bit - it helps to blow off CO2. If you've ever taught a fitness class without a microphone, you'll be surprised to see.

    I don’t like throw out accusations before knowing it’s a fact. But his pace he is holding up is on a almost un human lvl. We have had guys with crazy pressure, Colby when he was coming up for an example did something similar. But Merab seems much stronger then Colby was at that time pound for pound ofc. Merabs pace don’t slow down and he can physically over power other strong fighters like Yan, Henry, Aldo. I’m not saying he is taking something but go watch his earlier fights in the UFC where he gases out and even lost to much lower competition. To suddenly mid Career get cardio that rivals the greatest Cardio guys we have ever seen. As well as getting stronger physically. Yes I’ve seen people reinvigorate their career like Charles Olivera. But he is pretty much has the same attributes but worked on his technique on the feet to the point he can have a battle on the feet with the best strikers in the UFC and win. There is something fishy going on with Merab that’s all I’m going to say. Just look in to his earlier career fights and look what he is doing now.

    Something that can help is GPP. General physical preparation which comes from Soviet sport science. That includes stuff like barbell lifting , squat, deadlift , clean etc. when you can squat 2-3x your weight, lifting an opponent is very easy and you don’t have to go into lactic acid mode.

    I love coach but his continuing to pretend not to know how epo works how it benefits is or how common or frequent peds and exemptions are used in fighting given its fully present in the amateur scene is a bit dismaying.
    I get it, it's an omerta, people are cut out of goat contention if they test positive, but there's a lot of people that dope successfully some of which might be goat contenders
    I understand the game and why he doesn't say but the claiming ignorance thing is difficult. You are a coach you are very knowledgeable I find it very hard to think those conversations aren't going on regularly in fight dorms and elsewhere
    And the claim about high level mountain training. For sure the caucuses train hard but why aren't we getting consistent top mma guys from colorado coming out and dominating with cardio?
    If somethjng looks superhuman it's probably a blessing or a deception
    Please forgive me if I'm wrong, it doesn't make sense he wouldn't know about stuff when the scene was and is absolutely rife with it
