You’re 100% right! I hate leaving comments but this dude Bret been feeding of some of the worst interviews ever and dumb questions. As if listeners are dumb! It’s absolutely ridiculous!
No excuses but my fighter is getting surgery because his tear was so bad that he could only roll for 15 minutes at a time before screaming in agony. Best training camp ever except for the fact that we couldnt drill wresting or bjj. No excuses tho.
Brett okamoto what kind of interview is this and questions? Sounds like Dana sent you to interview Tim in order to discredit Merab hard work. Eating the clock… not Merab’s fault if Sean can’t stop take downs. 90% of your interviews have weird questions, it’s like you don’t prepare for it.
What do you expect though? ofc he’s going to be biased since the guys literally invited to be on. Tim Welch wouldn’t have done the interview if he knew they were gonna throw questions at him and Brett knows that
Or ... Maybe it's an accurate assessment of how the fight transpired. It was very much a control match. Merab wasn't doing damage or hurting Sean. And that's just fine, that's the sport they are in but Brett isn't wrong that Merab was eating clock... That's exactly what control is
Made him look normal but riding out another boring decision..? Man, what an entertainer that guy is. Wish the UFC was full of Merabs. We’d be in a better place as fans that’s for sure 😂

@@shanebluebutterfly ragdolled? he got held down and kneed in the thigh, if he was ragdolled he'd have worn at least a little damage, but there waas none
Merab laughed his way through five rounds with full domination minus one random gut shot. We aren't fully confident it was this death blow the media is using to save face for Suga. If they fight 10 times, it may end at best 8-2, with Suga having a punchers shot for a knockout win.
Poirier had a hip labrum injury as well. Fought with it for years before surgery. I think rehab can maintain it awhile but eventually it needs the knife
@@MrBlakeguerra that's why they're literally saying no excuses for it. It probably was the best camp they've had in a while. He has worse injuries going into aljo. Everyone is injured going into a fight. It's not an excuse to lose since they thought they were prepared enough to win. And they weren't. That's on them not on the injury. As stated in the interview

It’s a fight at the end of the day. You don’t agree with any of that even a little??
Unprepared wrestling defense look like a fish out of water Sean said it him self this was his best camp and was feeling so good going into this you guys got out worked no excuses
@@djvernski sometimes I overestimate the intelligence of people on the Internet. He literally says it didn't affect him in the fight. Explaining a reality is not an excuse. The interviewer asked him about a hip surgery so he explained why Sean is getting hip surgery and how the injury that requires surgery has affected him. You're literally the definition of a hater.
Tim Welch, this is why a coach shouldn't be sleeping with their number one fighter. I have nothing against two men making love ..but lets focus on the fight please.
Tim is a good guy but he is barley even older then sean... Sean needs to get a new coach with much more experience. Tim is ok coach but Sean is in the big league and needs the best of the best
did this guy even watch the fight? Merab was moving forward until the 5th round, how can tim welch say he didn't move forward for the first two minutes of the round???
Immediately with the excuses…. Merab took him down easily and held him down like he was his big brother teasing him… Sean was defenseless and had no idea how to get up
So let's get this straight.. Suga hasn't been able to properly train grappling (or proper defense) in over a year or so but just thought he'd mosey on forward against the toughest grecko style power wrestler in the division?! Yea..
Tim bro, You need to have the option of actual cups at your coffee shop. It's like creating the finest wine and then serving it in a paper cup. Come on bro!!!!!!!
The hate in people’s heart is crazy. But we all know people only hate on the ones doing better than them 🤷🏻♂️ I’m happy for Merab and looking forward to Sean’s return. Also this was a great interview. Brett let the coach talk and didn’t make it about himself
Not facts.... That's not how that works lol. He was the headliner to a show that was set to be one of the biggest events and the only one in the Sphere. Sean went out despite an injury and made the walk. If he pulls out it destroys the show and then who is the main event? He went out and tried to make it happen and it went against him. Oh well, it's better than holding up the division. It would have tanked the card entirely. Also, where were the excuses made? Sean never said he lost because of the injury nor did Tim. There is a difference between excuses and reasonings or explanations and if you don't think so I'd love for you to enlighten me how they are not different
The injury isn’t much of a problem to the point where u can’t fight or anything, it’s the same thing with labrum’s in the shoulder. Surgery will stop his hip from popping out
The injury isn’t much of a problem to the point where u can’t fight or anything, it’s the same thing with labrum’s in the shoulder. Surgery will stop his hip from popping out, probably do your research
One thing for certain about hip FAI and labral tears, surgery will make it worse long term. They drill holes in your bone and cartilage, which based on good research increases the likihood of further injury and arthritis down the track. I have mixed FAI and two labral tears. Hand on heart, surgery is a terrible idea. He'll never be the same again, much like Conor. Wisdom would be to take a year off and rehab it without surgery.
early stoppage but gets dropped and doesnt try get to hes feet for a good 40 seconds eating shots from sean and then rolling to hes stomach. Please be fr, aljo got beat up.
@pointnine5030 he had 40 whole seconds to work and was doing nothing but getting punches rained down on him. How about use your pea size brain and realise he got finished fair and square.
Labrum was a problem, since they could not grind wrestling. As long as SEan could rely on "stick and move", then it was not an issue. but we all saw what happened.....
This dude is a clown. So glad that a true deserving champ like Merab dominated Sean, his goofy coach Tim, and Herb Dean. Sean actually just admitted that he felt good, not “flat” like everyone was trying to make excuses for him was. He just said Merab was way stronger. Sean got fast tracked and babied. To this day, he’s still just fought 4 ranked fighters. In reality, he should’ve never even had a title defense. He fought chito lol and ducked Merab. Merab, the machine is the rightful champ. And Brett okamoto is asking dumb ass questions this interview, basically trying to find excuses for Sean.
The best thing sean could do would be find another team or coach. Tim trying to chrip Merab when the fight started In r1 after doing the same thing to aljo just shows his true colors. The ginger ain't no ninja
@@sherifbarayaI mean I don’t hate what he did and his points are valid that it’s war but it’s against the ethics of martial arts as the soul of martial arts is about respect and competition and seeing who the best fighter is

I train fighters in Houston. I said last Thursday that Sean had blown his hip out. The guys that were giving him sparring rounds came back saying he hasnt wrestled in months. Sean wanted that money from the Sphere ppvs but should have pulled out.
Just like one fighter said once, can't remember who lmao, but no fighter goes into a fight 100%, props to these guys for making it know Merab won fair and square
They were feeling on top of the world knowing the UFC was backing them up and making Sean a star. I'm so happy they had been exposed. What strategy is that of not doing wrestling preparing for a fight with Merab? I get he could never get that good, but at least could have tried working defence? "oh we did a bit for single legs. but we weren't expecting double legs". And then the 'great' strategy of distracting the opponent during the fight?? They knew they had nothing to do but hoping the lucky punch presented itself. That's the only thing they have. And that's why Sean doesn't deserve being a champion.
@@digitalhillzthat dumb Ik Sean was injuried in the camp or whatever but we all know what merab was gonna do and Tim during the fight week was saying we ready for him and his ground game and he said Sean ground game not to be mess with 😂 yee all I heard was excuses from the dude Tim 🤷🏽 (Sean not touching the belt again)
I dunno who Tim Welch is. But there are loads of excuses. And not in the bad way. Give the guy a break. His character crumbled in a big moment. Don't hate Sean, love him into becoming a strong character with a piston left hand :)
Didn't have one when he throwing high kicks and knees. I've had the same injury and I couldn't have tried to do none of that. That's a week excuse. Sean is a beast. But Umar would beat him on the ground and has hands. So either way. He ain't getting past those 2.
The comments I’ve read are a bit harsh. He could’ve been way more defensive. Sure, he did throw in an excuse or two, but 72 hours after a loss, I think he was very respectful.
Coach Canelo and Sean need to find a better game plan, I hope Sean comes back stronger and be deadly as he used to be in other fights but Merab being the champ now will be much stronger and smarter too if there is a rematch ever.
luckily Merab made it so dominant that they couldn't do what they did in the Sean-Petr Yan fight. If the fight had been a bit closer they might have done it again. Kind of like the Paddy-Jared Gordon fight. Also Herb Dean telling them to work while Merab had Sean on the floor and was throwing knees... smh
{That was the most "Not like Sean" i have ever seen) O'Malley didn't move, feint, shimmy. He didn't throw out those shots that build up and create openings} Props to Merab he won. I just feel he did a whole lot of running around, burning up the clock, not engaging. Merab shot way less takedowns than normal. Again Merab definitely won. He didn't win by HURTING Sean tho. I'm just ready to see how things go from here because there is so much talent in the Bantamweight division. (And i truly think that when Sean is Sean and does what he always does, I believe Sean is capable of pulling off amazing athletic achievements in the UFC world) *(BTW it has tripped me out with just how insane some people have gone with trashing Tim due to this "Merab & Aljo sportsmanship nonsense" it's so blown out of proportion. I wish certain fans could balance out their schizo toxicity but oh well. The internet will always be Schizo I've learned to embrace it)
@@benmcreynolds8581 it’s called cutting off the cage, defending takedowns, scrambling to get back to your feet, ju jitsu, and not letting another man hold you down… but Sean doesn’t know how to do any of those things
These guy and his teams are clown - no excuses and makes bunch of excuses Alex Poatan - if you run from him, he goes after you and knock you out- why didn’t your guy do that if you claim Merab was running The judges who gave Sean 2 rounds were obviously bias - Sean was dominated all rounds Sean even had a cheap shot and stil couldn’t finish Merab - hitting Merab when he was walking to him corner 😂 😂 Biggest threat to Sean : Umar, Merab, Henry
I agree with 'judges were corrupt'. Merab dominance was so evident that they couldn't make Sean win, but still, 48-47 by two judges??? That's a disgrace.

The belal vs leon was a gr8 example of double leg takedown improvisation. Kind of same story
I dunno who Tim Welch is. But there are loads of excuses. And not in the bad way. Give the guy a break. His character crumbled in a big moment. Don't hate Sean, love him into becoming a strong character with a piston left hand :)
Casual 😂
Didn't have one when he throwing high kicks and knees. I've had the same injury and I couldn't have tried to do none of that. That's a week excuse. Sean is a beast. But Umar would beat him on the ground and has hands. So either way. He ain't getting past those 2.
The comments I’ve read are a bit harsh. He could’ve been way more defensive. Sure, he did throw in an excuse or two, but 72 hours after a loss, I think he was very respectful.
Casual 😂
When the strategy of distracting a fighter doesn't work anymore Season 2 episode 4
I think Merab should treat the idea of a rematch with Sean, as the same as Sean treated the idea of a rematch with Aljo
totally unbiased interview👍🏼
Coach Canelo and Sean need to find a better game plan, I hope Sean comes back stronger and be deadly as he used to be in other fights but Merab being the champ now will be much stronger and smarter too if there is a rematch ever.
zero excuses zero coaching
I swear Sean said he injured his shoulder labrum in Merab fight.
don't get it twisted 47-48 was the best gift judges could've given to Sean. He got dominated
luckily Merab made it so dominant that they couldn't do what they did in the Sean-Petr Yan fight. If the fight had been a bit closer they might have done it again. Kind of like the Paddy-Jared Gordon fight. Also Herb Dean telling them to work while Merab had Sean on the floor and was throwing knees... smh
Sugar foot Sean o'crappy got schooled
{That was the most "Not like Sean" i have ever seen) O'Malley didn't move, feint, shimmy. He didn't throw out those shots that build up and create openings} Props to Merab he won. I just feel he did a whole lot of running around, burning up the clock, not engaging. Merab shot way less takedowns than normal. Again Merab definitely won. He didn't win by HURTING Sean tho. I'm just ready to see how things go from here because there is so much talent in the Bantamweight division. (And i truly think that when Sean is Sean and does what he always does, I believe Sean is capable of pulling off amazing athletic achievements in the UFC world)
*(BTW it has tripped me out with just how insane some people have gone with trashing Tim due to this "Merab & Aljo sportsmanship nonsense" it's so blown out of proportion. I wish certain fans could balance out their schizo toxicity but oh well. The internet will always be Schizo I've learned to embrace it)
Now say that without crying.
I agree
Say less. Literally.
@@benmcreynolds8581 it’s called cutting off the cage, defending takedowns, scrambling to get back to your feet, ju jitsu, and not letting another man hold you down… but Sean doesn’t know how to do any of those things
@@loopvil369nobody’s crying expect you pal.
We can clearly see that he was pissed and frustrated in this interview 😑
Merab vs Figgy is much better move for Merab bc if he beats Figgy that's 5 ex UFC Champions in a row P4P great discussion stuff
" don't worry sug it's almost over"😂😂😂😂😂
Why the coach let his athlete compete injured.
Just the narrative the using. Sean still gets ragdolled either way
Everyone in the UFC has fought injured
@@isaiahbastian2749 everybody on steroids
Cuz it's the Sphere headline with custom stuff designed for him, the opportunity was too big to pass up
@@BRAINFxck10 same thing happens 10 out of 10 times
Tim Welch was coaching Sean like he was in labor, "breathe for me now, good, you’re doing great" 🤡 Sean needs a new corner.
Managing Sean’s cardio between rounds, which held up actually and he even won the 5th against a cardio monster, so yeah pretty wise
2024 coach of the year? If I could choose a coach, I’d choose this guy
O'Malley turning into wonder boy... Great striker with no grappling defense
International fight week (April) he should come back. Over a year off is a terrible idea, look at Izzy
Literally every fighter says no excuses, but makes excuses.
Casuals are surprised
These guy and his teams are clown - no excuses and makes bunch of excuses
Alex Poatan - if you run from him, he goes after you and knock you out- why didn’t your guy do that if you claim Merab was running
The judges who gave Sean 2 rounds were obviously bias - Sean was dominated all rounds
Sean even had a cheap shot and stil couldn’t finish Merab - hitting Merab when he was walking to him corner 😂 😂
Biggest threat to Sean : Umar, Merab, Henry
Why was this interview so awkward? Brett came across like it was a funeral but in reality Tim was pretty relaxed.
Dana definitely sent Brett to ask the stupidest questions.
Merab Dvalishvili Signed UFC by TKO if you think hes boring no hes still Green and still getting better
Every fighter has injuries going into fights but it only matters when a “star” has them going into a fight that he loses 🤒
Surgery scheduled 8 weeks ago makes me wonder that the UFC did know about it despite what Dana said in the post fight DWCS presser
' I was injured '
' I won that fight '
' the sphere distracted me '
' merab cheated '
' judges were corrupt '
'no excuses '
I agree with 'judges were corrupt'. Merab dominance was so evident that they couldn't make Sean win, but still, 48-47 by two judges??? That's a disgrace.
It’s the unhumbling humble approach! 🥴
Atleast Time Welch keeps it 💯 . And doesn't try to blame it on this and that.
oh no, he didn't make any excuse, not at all. I mean, he had this injury and that, but no, no, no excuses. And also blalblabla but no excuses, no...
It would have lost UFC a ton of money if they told anyone. I could tell Suga was a bit "too chill" this time around.
too much weed probably
