To be honest, in the video Merab explains what happened, very weird thing happened which is Petr Yan pushed to fight Merab when UFC didn't want, if Petr Yan didn't push for it Merab was going to fight lower ranked guys or maybe even Umar before and Umar could beat him before if that happened.
I understand why Merab didnt want to fight Aljo. Those guy literally bought house's right nextdoor to each other. They are true friends so if you have that i can definitely understand it. And look he is now the Champ
@@BlueBARv5 yeah its sad, hours after he seemed ok about it and then 12 hours later making excuse after excuse. The best part was the comment Rogan made after the loss. He said is it possible for Suga to ever make up the gap he clearly has in his ground game.
Exactly, what Merab was doing definitely deserve critisim, Merab could move down or move up weight class instead of stopping other top contenders when UFC want him to fight lower ranked guys then he refuse that, it made no sense what he was doing, but Petr Yan is also to blame with, UFC didn't want that fight Merab himself says in the video, but Petr Yan pushed for it then got dominated, both Merab and Petr did weird things.
It didn't matter what the UFC, Dana White or mma fans wanted; Merab was not fighting his friend. The UFC tried to make him pay and they wound up losing contender after contender ultimately losing their prized cash cow in O'malley. Let's see if Merab can continue to impose his will on the UFC and the Batamweight division, his next opponent is the Numagomedov plotline 💀😂
If you watch the video, Merab was going to lose vs UFC, if Petr Yan didn't push for that fight Merab was finally going to be forced to fight lower ranked guys, but Merab himself said UFC didn't want that fight but Petr Yan pushed for it to happen and they made it, then Petr got dominated, very weird thing to do from Petr pushing a fight UFC didn't want and then got dominated.
U will all soon come to realize if u haven't already, the UFC isn't legit. Everything is manipulated in favor of the top dollar fighters, not the best fighters. It differs from boxing in a few ways but THE biggest difference is that there is one man ultimately making the final say, Dana White. This man gave us the greatest sport and organization in earth's history and then single handedly ruined it because of his greed.
Ur point is spot on @MMAFOCUS he's also not a big fan of these wrestlers being champions. To dana white there not big huge ppvs fights and as you know dana all bout the dollar bill...
Wrestlers dont fight, thats the problem, with the exception of Jon Jones and some others. Holding someone until the clock runs out is not fighting. Majority of the fights with wrestlers like Merab, the opponent comes out unharmed. Also if you ever wrestled or trained MMA, you know that its way easier to hold someone down than it is to get up when someone is holding you down. I honestly think these wrestlers are just scared to actually fight, so they just lay and pray until victory. And its partly fault of UFC. Because like 10 years ago, majority of American fighters were wrestlers, so UFC made UFC wrestling friendly - had it been any otherwhere in the world (Japan) they would get yellow card for just stalling the fight like wrestlers do. And now, that has backfired - because now the best wrestlers comes from outside of USA. And now majority of champs are wrestlers (like I said, its easier to hold someone down than it is to get up when someone is holding you down). Which has started making UFC boring af. Even Karate Combat is more exciting now. Except when fighters like Holloway, Pereira etc fights, because they actually fight 😆 and a fight is to inflict damage upon your opponent - not hold them down until time runs out and have their opponent look as fresh as they did before the fight started and with ZERO, absolutely ZERO submission attempts. Just some loose ground and pound.
And yet we have we have the Dagestan group now saying they will not fight each other, Islam won’t move up, belal saying he would not fight Islam, I mean don’t we all want to see who the best in the world is?
First of all this channel is awesome with great content 💯 Second ... OWalley was Dana's mini creation from the contender series . No one likes seeing their painting get destroyed 😂🤡. I also think Dana knows them Mountain dudes are WRASSSLIN their way into Champs and top 5 in every division .
Then stop signing all these boring ass wrestlers, %99 of people who watch UFC are not gonna "miss out" if these guys don't fight in the UFC. Since these PPVs are so expensive, people are gonna expect exciting fights and rightfully so.
7:34 Yeah, that's EXACTLY how stitches are removed and his eye is clearly healed. Some people with higher testosterone can heal quicker. Stitches only take 4-14 days to heal. Dana was just being an ignorant drama queen!
He hated Khabib as well until Arabs gave him spank and the money now he apparently loves nurmagamedovs. After 1-2 title defences Dana will start telling media that Merab is Bantamweight GOAT and that will be one of the few times that he will be telling truth.
Umm a bunch of ppl has done this. They were just his golden goose so he didnt care. Dana is lowkey evil in sheep’s clothing. But… yea he is right. Friend or not… it’s a career. But the hypocrisy is what bothers me
One thing you don't want to do is piss off Dana. These guys get into this sport for one reason, to become Champion. Now he has the chance and he's saying NO!?!? It doesn't make sense. You can punch each other in the face and hug it out after. It's not a fight to the death...come on man. Merab honestly seems like he is a few fries short of a Happy Meal.
What a terrible analogy, however, you are the one looking a few fries short of a happy meal. Merab went out, beat every contender in dominant fashion, became undeniable as the #1 contender. Then he goes out and wipes the floor with O’Malley who ufc desperately tried to prop as a star. Now, not only is he champ with a killer resume, but you sound ridiculous with that terrible take.
24 hours only without looking at the earth, return where it consumes money, it's done because the general manager doesn't understand it, I see the inhabitants of the earth like ants, there's nothing, don't let what I say is true, don't in your heart, something's coming, it's useless, it's falling from the air because it's beyond me, show me His power of knowledge is completely on me, I don't choose anyone, my family, my brothers, my friends, all of them, if you do something wrong, do your duty, be brave, do your responsibility, if you run, you will die, think about it completely, thank you
I bring from the sky a storm that can destroy the earth in the blink of an eye I shake the earthquake particles wherever I bring as well as get easily so also return man sem
Nobody wants to face n11 when you are on top additionally umar is favorite of dana. N1 lost to n2 and somehow as a result n11 became n2 without ever wining anyone in top…

Bellator has some serious contenders for him. Guys like Patchy mix, Magomed Magomedov, Khamildov(undefeated)Petr yan friend and training partner, Rematch with Rafeon stots, Danny Sabatello, Undefeated team Khabib Khamildov, Leandro higo, that would be super challenging for merab in Bellator

Fun fact he still managed to get a belt and not fighting his friend .. he’s def smart plus morally free of burden

And look he is now the Champ
Sean has excuses, Merab tore Sean's labia 😅 during the fight period. Sean said this was the best he ever felt and best camp ever.
This made me more of a Merab fan.
I'm a huge fan Now because look how deranged Sean Sounds & Looks on social media 🤣...☠

So much effort to destroy Merabs image but people love him for what he is, and I am one of them!
😮Mr. Peanut head Dana is mad because Sean lost . 😂 Dana threw everyone he could at Merab and Merab ran through them .

could swear they said the aljo fight was never actually offered.
LMAO 😂 No!
because Merab clearly said he wouldnt do it.
He hates Aljo Sterling as well and he was mad when I beat Grasso
Dana at 6:23. Yet he wants us to pay for jones vs stipe…..
He is a habitual liar and contradicts himself most of the time
I'm not paying for that sht
its a good fight if they both retire after,, but if they both stick around its a pointless fight......
He let conor jam up the lw division for years
He hated Khabib as well until Arabs gave him spank and the money now he apparently loves nurmagamedovs. After 1-2 title defences Dana will start telling media that Merab is Bantamweight GOAT and that will be one of the few times that he will be telling truth.

Wow, Merab been ducking Umar for a long time.
That's your takeaway? No. 1 didn't want to take on No.11? That doesn't make any business sense. Today, however it does. That will be his next opponent
Umar is only guy in ufc who became n2 without defeating anyone from top 10…
Omaly n1 lost to merab n2 and umar went from n11 to n2 ….
Tl;dr : Dana thinks wrestlers are boring + merabs social media antic may seem like bad PR to Dana
