The ufc should confiscate merab's title away like they did to nicco mentano for ducking valentina and faking injuries, which is quiet clear thats what merab is doing as well hiding scared from umar. He said he is injured for February but also said he is ready as soon as November if its a rematch with o'malley. Merab isn't even intelligent enough to make a believable lie. Lets go ufc lets do umar vs the winner of yan vs deiveson for the vacant 135 title.
What i would love to see is the ufc taking away the 135 title from merab and put it on the lines for the future umar vs yan fight, for clearly being to scared to defend his title, the ufc doesn't need a guy like that plus he is boring. But if umar really wants to fight in January than the only guy available that would take the fight is Mario.
Guru's impression of him sounding like a motorcycle engine on idle is hilarious. He should have fought the defending interim champ for the real belt if he wanted respect.
Umar is the real deal, not running, not fking around. Along with Yan and Cory they are my favorite fighters in this division. Ok. after that last statement Merab for sure does not want to fight Umar😂
For a guy who knew very little english wen he started the ufc,3 yrs ago,his english is so polished.give him acouple more yrs with Dc,he over take islam him the english interviews.😊
people in the comments sections are too slow. umar isn't forcing merab to fight before ramadan, he said it clearly if merab doesn't wanna fight in jan, i will fight somebody else, the annoying part about merab is he's ready to fight sean in nov but not ready to fight umar two months after november, the guy simply wants an easy title defense before fighting someone like umar, his fangirls don't want to admit that and they try to blame ramadan, umar...etc but the blame is on merab
Omaley is an easy fight? You are not the bright one for sure. There is also a big difference to fight the immediate rematch with the same guy with whom you fought and more or less have same damage. No additional strategy and preparation would be necessary. Unlike to take a immediate fight against a fresh guy who barely fights once a year. You delusionals who really think Merab avoid your Khabib wannabe will have a rude awakening yet again. Keep doubting Merab will keep on winning.
@@cratos900 compared to umar, he's an easier fight, sean himself said that merab thinks that too. he will be given two months more so nah the excuse of rematching the same guy isn't the same is all nonsense that merab fans make up, rematching someone can be more dangerous since sean has been in the octagon with him and knows the weaknesses of merab more than umar. and umar isn't a fresh guy he just fought 1 month before merab fought sean and both had two fights this year. he simply doesn't wanna fight umar, that's a fact, he himself made it clear so stop making excuses for him.
@@Youssef-hd5bl Merab Dominated all his past opponents. Every single one of them. Some of them were way way better strikers than Umar and some way way better wrestlers. Umar has nothing o offer that will phase Merab and if you will use brain instead of emotions you will also see that. Merab does not want to gift the easy path to Umar when he himself was given none and he has the right.
@@cratos900 see how you changed the narrative from "merab needing more time for umar than rematching sean" to merab faced this and dominated that, umar earned his shot by beating the number two corey, he doesn't have to beat every ranked fighter, especially lots of ranked fighters didn't want to fight him for whatever reason.
Islam should cut a promo to help umar get his title shot by telling merab that he knows he is close friends with his fellow georgian tuporia and so if he gives umar his rightfull title shot next he will also give a title shot to tuporia for the 155 title next year since that's what tuporia really wants lately But if he continues to act like a chicken ducking umar than he swear to god he will never give ilia tuporia a title sgot as long as he is the champion and when usman comes to the ufc he as well won't give a title shot the tuporia. And tuporia will never get a chance at becoming. double champion because of merab not being a man
@Geoman-x6u you must be not familiar with sports then. He has more following than all of the Bantamweight fighters and Champion, except for Sean. Hopefully, you will know him much better after his next fight
I am not saying he isn't very good, but how is he a champ in your book? Sandhagen was your previous champ? Was it the decision win over Bekzat that made him your champ?
If he wants to stay active and fight In January than lets do Umar vs Mario. Or In April : Umar vs yan for the vacant title after the ufc finally decides to take the title off of merab for refusing to defend his title like a chicken. They did it to nicco mentano they should do the same to merab.
Idk why he’s saying he is small for fw but he doesn’t look smaller than Topuria and maybe even taller by 1 inch. He looks pretty big for bw. His kicks and wrestling are very high level, he could give a good fight to Topuria, maybe even win
@@kharnage99 what achievements he’s just won the belt after Islam ko,d Alex With no defenses.Nobody wants to fight Umar for the last few years otherwise he would of been champ couple years ago
18 fights, 18 wins and a 50% finish rate. Merab: 24 wins and a 25% finish rate. Can we get Merab out of here please? These guys that don’t try to finish fights: Merab, Belal. 🙂↔️ they gotta go.
Man umar is so eloquent at expressing his emotion and thoughts when speaking english which is his not his first language,couple years ago Khabib said he's not ready for english interview . Now look at him
Respect the champ. Where were the people this upset when Aljo got pressured for a quick turnaround or when OMalley fought Chito instead of Merab? Figgy is a legit contender and an awesome fight he called for. Let Umar fight someone and if they both win they can fight in July international fight week. People making such a big deal out of this....
O'Malley might be the only fighter I personally dislike quite a bit. Guy has a shit personality/persona; And it's not in a "good heel" way where I want to buy his fights, it's just shit.
Whoever Merab choses to fight next, it shouldn’t be O’malley. Only dominant champs should be given immediate rematches. O’malley only defended his belt once..
I remember in 2019, Merab wanted to fight with you, but you said he was not on your level. And then you wanted to fight after 2 months when Merab beat Yan! Umar is so "smart" 😁
@@aminaadler yeah, but it started way later than when it should, he fought cory 3 months ago, the Merab vs Omalley fight was like a month ago. So i don't understand why they are so suddenly interested on Umar. Dont get me wrong he is my favorite batamweight at the moment, but is weird.
i hate how the ufc fast tracked him to the title trying to make that fight after one ranked win but merab is ducking. id say its because hes champ now and gets ppv points tho, omalley rematch probably sells better
Yet, Sean O'malley wasn't fast-tracked... Also, Merab could have had all the title defences he wanted, if he wasn't refusing title fights with his bum buddy...
Book Umar vs cejudo. Cejudo won’t fight for the title anytime soon and it’s a really good name for Umars resume and cejudo won’t turn down a number one contender fight
You could have pushed back a little on some of his nonsense about Merab. Merab was in line for a title shot after Cejudo, why would he fight Umar then??? Fight Sean at Sphere or fight Umar at the Apex? Not a tough decision really.
Merab had to beat 3 former champs in a row on a 10 fight win streak he didn’t get a contract to fight for the title until 8 weeks prior to his fight with Sean plus he just became the champ last month he calls this shots now
Worst interview ever!!! Merab became a champ 1 month ago and Umar is talking about that he wants fight in 2 month :) How dumb interviewer has to be not to think about it and letting Umar trashing Merab )) Also Merab already said that he will fight Umar if UFC wants so!! That’s how dumb you are interviewer you even didn’t checked his tweets ;) Don’t forget how he became a champ!!!!! He was waiting for years to get to title shot!!!! Umar is no one if not Khabib he would never be in top5 !!!
Merab chose to wait for a title shot because Aljo was the champ and he wouldn't fight him. January would be 4 months from his win. Everyone know Merab is ducking Umar. Just watch all Merab's interviews prior and after he won the belt. Every time Umar's name came up he would fine a reason to not fight him.
I bet Umar lives very good in Dagestan with American money. I dont care where your from really, I just want the fighter to be exciting unlike merab in everyway.
@@eggm0ney he was boring af))) In 20 years no one will remember Khabib, but McGregor will be a legend always! Do you know the name of the boxer to whom Mike Tyson lost?🤣🤣
This is the best Umar interview I have ever seen. His English is improving so much and he is showing his personality alot more.
Ya he was on fire
The sheer honesty shines throughout his interviews.
Dagestanis say it how it is, No cap, no Bullsh*t... Straight for the kill!
Bullshit you dont know shit about Dagestan 😂
Wow, Awesome. Thank you so much for bringing Umar. Would love to see more fighters from Ali's on your pod.
It’s up to ali 😂
Umar fights once a year
Ali is a shit person. Endorsing a criminal and genocide supporter in Trump. He should be locked in prison with Trump! Umar is nice guy tho.
@@appleid3151it’s not his fault your boys are scared him 😂😂
@mrfuga6041 if that's true I agree, and they're not my boys, I just want to see great fights... that includes umar.
Umar seems to understand the Australian accent better n answers it better 😄. Umar will be champion, sad for Merab too.

Umar deserves the title e💯
One of the best interview
plz UFC February co-main

If he wants to stay active and fight In January than lets do Umar vs Mario.

Umar on a media tour hahaha, soon to be bantamweight champ for sure.
Facts
Merab should be strip off the belt if he refuses to defend the belt against Umar!!
Umar nurmagomedov 🔥 ♥️
Umar would kick topurias head in he’s just too humble to say
Behave brother, Topuria is high level. No need to reduce his achievements to make Umar look better
Idk why he’s saying he is small for fw but he doesn’t look smaller than Topuria and maybe even taller by 1 inch. He looks pretty big for bw. His kicks and wrestling are very high level, he could give a good fight to Topuria, maybe even win
