It was very sad reading all the toxic comments all week long. I'm not sure who are writing those comments, certainly not real MMA fans. More likely people with geopolitic in mind.
Georgians kicked Dagestanis asses for centuries, degastan people were nomads from mountains, attacking Georgian kingdoms with gorilla warfare from middle ages, Georgians always defended their kingdom from them, before ottomans and Persians came and they attacked Georgia from all sides
@ Thanks my friend! The best thing in success of Georgian fighters is that there are lot of children here who will be inspired and after few years we will have a new generation of Georgian MMA fighters.
And he has the chance to have the most UFC Bantamweight wins if he keeps winning, Merab might be “boring” but he is reaching HOF status right now. Edit: I do not find Merab boring that’s why I put “” on the boring part, I catfish wrestlers just as entertaining as the strikers cuz I’m an MMA fan and not just a “Kickboxer” MMA fan.
You are very welcome in Georgia! We are one of the most hospitable people in the world. According to our traditions and beliefs, a guest is considered to be sent from god 🙌
Where Are Dagestan D Riders 😂🤣😅. I told them Merab is a complete fighter. But they were yelling he has no chance with N. What a waste of their energy & emotions 😅
@@everythinganytimeanywherethey are crying like the little girls they are! All this muslim hype and Merab broke umar bad💪🏻💪🏻 all umar fans are hiding now crying
This has to be one of the most feel good wins of all time for me. Merab was counted out by everybody and didn’t get the respect he deserved despite what he has proven he can do just because of his opponents last name. Merab deserves his flowers big time.
@ One of the GOATs? I think you dont understand what GOAT means. I think you talk about being a great fighter (which he is of course) or being Best of a division. GOAT is another different monster my friend, there can be only 1 GOAT in the world. Islam of course is out of discussion as he was defeated by KO. You dont know this so you must be casual...
Merab is operating against the world his whole life and he constantly proves doubters wrong. It's beautiful to see what human determination and willpower can do. After defeating Umar he truly has cemented himself as the greatest bantamweight in the history of UFC. It's just crazy to look at his resume he truly is the Machine. Also, outside the octagon I believe he's really humble so I root for him and wish him every success.
Where is the ‘Merab is ducking Umar’ crowd now? 3 fights in 11 months, beat the shit outta 3 former champs. Beat 2 of the most privileged fighters of all time (Suga, Umar). Solidified himself as the greatest Bantamweight of all time. A top 3 champ only third to Ilia/Islam.
True, I remember when African fighters were at the top. Izzy went to war with kelvin, F'ed up Costa for good and made a fool out of Whittaker then K.Oed Pereira. Kamaru broke Colbys jaw. Ngannou K.O. The black beast and many others, pissed Dana. The three African Kings cleared they're divisions, ruled them in dominant fashion, they were the essence of the UFC (AS REAL AS IT GETS BABY!)
I am a hardcore Nurmagomedov fan but Merab showed levels today. The guy had surgery a couple of months ago and still put on such a stunning performance. What an insane resume he's got. Bantam Weight GOAT.
@@haga7596merab looked like the hulk last night. And Umar arguably won the first two rounds. So Umar is actually a nightmare but merab was better that night. Don’t have to put Umar down to put merab up. Umar isn’t losing to anyone besides merab anyway. Incredible fight.
@@Luis82388 Bro the next fighter that goes on to defend the title 6-7+times and maybe win a belt in upper weight class will be goat. Thats how recency bias works. But there is something else to it, i dont think u can count 5 title defenses from 2010 and 2025 the same way. The sport evolves. And right now Islam is first in the goat race, there are Pereira and Topuria right behind him. BUT if Jon Jones beats Aspinall and retires after that he will be undisputed G.O.A.T. Pantoja has 3 defenses but without moving up they will not consider him more than a flyweight goat.
I love how Merab is humble and respectful. But most of all, he's sincere. Saying what he thinks. Though I am from muslim country, I rooted for him, love this little fella
@@LeP009 Hey, im muslim too and I knew Merab would overwhelm him with pressure and cardio. I could smell the umar humbling all week. Also, he's such a kind soul how could these clowns not love merab : )

@@LeP009 just like I wish most Americans didn't illogically hate Muslims and dagestani fighters but what can we do right?
Man Merab has won me over lol I didn’t like his style at first but his positivity is infectious. He’s just a humble hard working guy. I was a little disappointed he didn’t pour it in more when Umar could barely move
Merab overcame so much adversity to get this win! He had a nasty infection in his shin. The American media didn't know until this week, but he showed his injury on Episode 3 of Dong Hyun Kim's channel (Stun Gun TV) over a month ago. Then you had all the haters doubting him despite being on a 11 fight win streak and pretty much cleaning out his division. Meanwhile everybody was on the Umar train even though his only big win was against Cory. Give Merab his respect: he is a great champion with unrivaled stamina, elite wrestling, fast hands, and most of all, pure heart!
@rahulsaxena3136 I don't think many MMA outlets knew because Merab only mentioned it in passing once. They definitely didn't know it was a leg injury nor how bad it was. When the Stun Gun video came out a month ago, all the viewers in Korea were shocked that he was training so hard with such a fresh and serious wound.
Umar grew up under the tutelage of Abdulmanap and got training partners like Khabib and Islam while Merab grew up in an unknown village in Georgia. Umar has skills but Merab has indomitable will.
It just shows Umar isn’t that skilled and genetics are just lottery sometimes. Umar had everything he had to win, the training camp, the fighters, the genetics, the age difference, etc. He just isn’t as talented as his cousin IMO who was an anomaly. I dont think Islam is the same as Khabib either, we wont get to see a fighter like Khabib again probably in our lives sucks he had to retire early because I dont think he ever truly showed just how great he was.
Just because your name is nurmagomedov it doesn't actually guarantee victory. It was way too soon for Umar to face merab. While one was smiling the other was still trying to figure out what to do next.. Truly A Machine Georgia🔥
Merab actually went after Umar. He is the one who asked Dana to make this fight. Got trolled by Umar & his fanbase through out fight weeks. He lost first 2 rounds may be b'coz of the pressure I guess but later grew in the rounds & won it clearly. True machine.
Merab is a freaking legend, i was happy asf when he was underdog knowing Im going make a few hundred bucks😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 take a look at his previous 6-7 opponents all former champions, he take the, down non stop. His cardio is insane, idk how many thought Umar will win but an underdog 1 to 3, really??? Put sum respect on his name.
Man Merab is the man!! His pressure is incredible, the fact that he overtook GSP’s takedown record is stuff of legend man. Merab is truly special. What a champion. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Umar is obviously confused there was no way he should of thought he won. Merab is a machine, he literally drags you into deep water and drowns you. Amazing Merab, congratulations 🙏🙏
@@vapnopei think he was a little scared tbh but also fired up, in the first round when he got wobbled he got wobbled bad prob bc of the nerves, i've felt that before when im in a fight and i get wobbled i wobble bad bc of the nerves
@@cjjhellI am Muslim, who usually roots for the best fighters. Usually I predict the Nurmagomedov team, since they are usually best. But I chose this time: Merab win against Umar
not arguably, undoubtably, who else is above him? cruz? his best win were against tj twice and uriah hall, cruz have more tittle win but he also have 3 tittle loss, meanwhile merab dominate petr yan, sean omalley, henry cejudo, jose aldo and now umar who just came out of a comfortable win against cory, the level of competition that merab fought is way higher than cruz, not to mention some of cruz's opponents are small enough that they can cut to flyweight
@@joecrimson Some people will look at Aljo and Com cruz for the number of title defenses they have, I look for the resume, That's why I carefully used the word "arguably" in my sentence
For the first time the whole world has witnessed a fighter beating and stopping a high level undefeated dagestani fighter that too with a nurmagomedov surname and wrestling pedigree of that team. Merab not only has beaten umar but he's broken the whole dagestani wrestling code with his Georgian wrestling. I desparately want to see Ilia Topuria vs Islam for the same reason. Such a generous, humorous personality combined with such a relentless perseverance , really a Machine❤❤❤❤❤.
THIS IS INSANELY HIGH LEVEL FIGHT, ALL ASPECT IN MMA IN HIS PEAK, STRIKING, GRAPLING, WRESLING ALL IN HIGHEST LEVEL, CONRATULATIONS TO MERAB YOU ARE THE CARDIO MACHINE
@@omoug2970 and why khabib though umar won the fight? doesnot make sense, even before he goes for belt u can see he knows his cousin lost the fight and drinking water for nervous
I have never seen such disrespect toward anyone, let alone such a bright spirit as Merab. Now all haters, SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I am even happy to see Khabib in pain, their greed is becoming too much. God bless Merab.
@@MMA_KSW Khabib fought majority of his fights against nobodies in Russia. He didn’t defend his belt numerous times, and he never moved up in weight. He is overrated
We can clearly see the differences between Umar and Merab skillset, Umar is definitely better but at the end of the day its cardio that matters and Merab is definitely a cardio machine. Well deserved win!
@@dimsumpizza4746 cardio and also heart. Merab never gave up, he kept going, whereas Umar gave up and didn’t truly believe he could win, he just stopped trying
I was for umar. I already expected a tough fight but to him to dominate umar in the last rounds as he did. WOW im speechless. Merab surely is a Machine. Literally nobody stands a chance against him in Bantamweight
I knew Merab was gonna win. The Georgians are warriors, during the Islamic conquest, all of the caucuses fell to Islam, but not Georgia. Georgia stood and fought off all the invaders, despite being the only Christian state in the region, surrounded by Muslims. If there was one group who can beat the Dagestanis, it would be the Georgians.
Armenians too. They’ve been fighting for their independence since the Assyrians were genociding in all directions 3000 years ago, and later fought against the Romans, Persians, Arabs, Russians, and Ottomans. They’re also a Caucasus nation and were the first country to officially adopt Christianity as the state religion.
Have you ever look at muslim fighter posts or videos? the comments are flooded with muslims saying things like “muslim best fighter blah blah blah” stuff so i say it is valid
@@molaksterssklmk4640 umar is chicken Why chicken not fight? Why he quit? Send umar 2 3 years georgia. Why umar hand a baloon? Brader father plan by merab beat father plan by umar. Bad father plan umar brader.

Thanks from georgia ilia united us on same side ♥️@@panek2568
Merab said : i will make him humble
and umar responded, "im always humble."
umar is inexperienced brother. time for merab will come.
he was always humble before and after the fight. umar has skills and youth. his time and prime will come. and i bet there will be a rematch.
@@faridamehdi-fv8fuyou’ve been coping for umar in the comments keep crying 18-1 🤡
@@faridamehdi-fv8fu Bro is almost 30 lol. This was his prime 😂
Umar proved he is no Eagle. Now he can not be GOAT. Nevertheless, he can become a great fighter like Islam, but has to lean humility.
Man Merab is the man!! His pressure is incredible, the fact that he overtook GSP’s takedown record is stuff of legend man. Merab is truly special. What a champion. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
*Everyone counting Merab out should feel embarrassed right now. Dude’s a relentless cardio monster*
*this is not the proper context to use this.*
UMAR BECAME A MAN😅
I’ll never count him out when he’s on epo
the nurmagmedov fans are quiet now
@@RatedRRaj kabab's poor shouting coaching technique made Umar lose 😅😂🤣🤣🤣
"Never underestimate the heart of a champion"- Rudi Tomjanovic.
Cant believe rockets are 2 seed
Merab got the Tina Turner cut. That hat looks awesome. Merab is a savage caveman 👍🏻👏🏻
Congratulations merab
Come back stronger... Umar...
Good fight merab shows why he is champion and umar you will become champ just work hard.. More
And stay humble.. umar must stay humble untill lose streak.
Umar will be champ if he fight Tony ferguson🤣🤣
Umar is obviously confused there was no way he should of thought he won. Merab is a machine, he literally drags you into deep water and drowns you. Amazing Merab, congratulations 🙏🙏
Congratulations to Merab on a great victory from Uzbekistan!🇺🇿👏🏻
Merab is truly a MACHINE
You have to respect him 🫡
"one of the best fight i've ever seen in my life" Joe Rogan .. he say that literally every second fight.
😂
It's so annoying when he says that shit he used to say that every time Moreno fought figaredo "100% best UFC fight of all time"
tbf this fight was absolute fire
MERAB THE GOAT DVALISHVILI 🇬🇪🔥🌹
Satisfaction 📈 bruh humbled Umar infront of his coach and khabib 😂
Him showboating after the takedowns must've hurt Khabib 😂
That whole camp needed a humbling this is epic 😂
😂😂😂
@@noone8118islam still p4p..khabib is undefeat
@@Muhamad2772 sadly you can't say the same about Umar😂😂
All the casuals saying Merab was "scared" and would lose wya?
He was afraid indeed but overcame adversary. Props to Merab
Not the casuals only people who see religion in everything those ones were talking
@@vapnopei think he was a little scared tbh but also fired up, in the first round when he got wobbled he got wobbled bad prob bc of the nerves, i've felt that before when im in a fight and i get wobbled i wobble bad bc of the nerves
@@cjjhellI am Muslim, who usually roots for the best fighters. Usually I predict the Nurmagomedov team, since they are usually best. But I chose this time: Merab win against Umar
switching up, like always lmao
Merab 💪 humbled him.
Merab is arguably the Goat of bantamweight now.
Umar won that fight brather. Umar smesh him early and only lose last rounds cause he gased from being sick before fight. Umar 1,2,3 cope
not arguably, undoubtably, who else is above him? cruz? his best win were against tj twice and uriah hall, cruz have more tittle win but he also have 3 tittle loss, meanwhile merab dominate petr yan, sean omalley, henry cejudo, jose aldo and now umar who just came out of a comfortable win against cory, the level of competition that merab fought is way higher than cruz, not to mention some of cruz's opponents are small enough that they can cut to flyweight
he's definitely the goat of cardio
Still Aljo till Merab catches up on title defenses
@@joecrimson Some people will look at Aljo and Com cruz for the number of title defenses they have, I look for the resume, That's why I carefully used the word "arguably" in my sentence
For the first time the whole world has witnessed a fighter beating and stopping a high level undefeated dagestani fighter that too with a nurmagomedov surname and wrestling pedigree of that team. Merab not only has beaten umar but he's broken the whole dagestani wrestling code with his Georgian wrestling.
I desparately want to see Ilia Topuria vs Islam for the same reason.
Such a generous, humorous personality combined with such a relentless perseverance , really a Machine❤❤❤❤❤.
THIS IS INSANELY HIGH LEVEL FIGHT, ALL ASPECT IN MMA IN HIS PEAK, STRIKING, GRAPLING, WRESLING ALL IN HIGHEST LEVEL, CONRATULATIONS TO MERAB YOU ARE THE CARDIO MACHINE
Umar "Sweet Dreams" Nurmagomedov 😂 Coping
Umar “Shattered Dreams” Nurmagomedov 😂
bro really? you still hate him? like this is amazing fight, both guys doesnt deserve to be hate, put some respect man come on
this match for me the candidate for FOTY 2025
UMAR HAS TO BE A MAN FIRST😅
he was hoping for bs rigged decision
Congratulations from Spain 🇪🇦♥️🇬🇪
The best UFC fighters throughout the years have never looked this unbeatable
Rogan said Rhonda could beat men fighters at one point.
@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants Rogan fried his brain with weed a long time ago though
@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiantsbut then he admitted that he hyped Rhonda up, meaning she wasn't all that and the Lioness the queen proved that.
@ He hypes up many people it doesnt mean he doesnt believe it.
Khabib in the background is hilarious. Merab's pace is one of a kind.
Khabib was saying to not wresle to Umar per comments
Bro danas reaction when khabib tried to grab the belt was hillarious 😂😂😂 watched it like ten times! awsome fight tho proud of Merab the Machine!!!
Bro was losing his mind 😂
@@omoug2970 and why khabib though umar won the fight? doesnot make sense, even before he goes for belt u can see he knows his cousin lost the fight and drinking water for nervous
@ It was nervous for every fan man it was a good fight nonetheless.
A truly humble champion, love to see it. The right person won this fight.
LETS GO MERAB WE ALL LOVE MERAB NOW
Merab is one of the nicest dude's in the ufc
They way he is humble and shows respect maked him a king
I have never seen such disrespect toward anyone, let alone such a bright spirit as Merab. Now all haters, SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I am even happy to see Khabib in pain, their greed is becoming too much. God bless Merab.
Islam Makhachev entered the Chat...
@imyhr728 yeah Islam is great, he keeps getting better. Khabib still tried to grab the belt off Dana. They expected to win all their fights tonight.
@ Everyone is expecting to win, what are you talking about?
@@imyhr728 you don't try and grab the belt before the decision has been announced. It's delusion
bro merabs strat is to just hug and hold
Lol, people actual thought merab was ducking umar 😂😂😂
These Dagestani glazers are the worst 😂
Fr they said umar had better grappling and wrestling AND cardio then merab lol these Dagestan Khabib fan girls are too much
The reason why Khabib ducked Colby 😂
@@AkamapDKhabib is on different level... But merab is a beast
@@MMA_KSW Khabib fought majority of his fights against nobodies in Russia. He didn’t defend his belt numerous times, and he never moved up in weight. He is overrated
Merab 🗽🍷🍷🍷🦾🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪
We can clearly see the differences between Umar and Merab skillset, Umar is definitely better but at the end of the day its cardio that matters and Merab is definitely a cardio machine. Well deserved win!
@@dimsumpizza4746 cardio and also heart. Merab never gave up, he kept going, whereas Umar gave up and didn’t truly believe he could win, he just stopped trying
They say black belts become white belts when they are tired
"better" is subjective. At the end of the day, if it was a 3 round fight umar wins, but 5 rounds? Nah. In a real fight Merab outlasts Umar.
@@ravagethelegend6217 but then Merab wouldn’t save energy for round 4 and 5 and just go all out in 3 rounds. And he won round 1 and 3 tbh.
I think Merab has more of a fighters mentality than Umar too
Congratulations champ well deserved win. Keep your head up Umar. Great fight.👏🏾
This is incredible. We all underestimated Merab. But he proved that he is a Champion for a reason. Absolutely amazing. Congrats Champ.
I was for umar. I already expected a tough fight but to him to dominate umar in the last rounds as he did. WOW im speechless. Merab surely is a Machine. Literally nobody stands a chance against him in Bantamweight
What about the 4 rounds before??
I knew Merab was gonna win. The Georgians are warriors, during the Islamic conquest, all of the caucuses fell to Islam, but not Georgia. Georgia stood and fought off all the invaders, despite being the only Christian state in the region, surrounded by Muslims. If there was one group who can beat the Dagestanis, it would be the Georgians.
Armenians too. They’ve been fighting for their independence since the Assyrians were genociding in all directions 3000 years ago, and later fought against the Romans, Persians, Arabs, Russians, and Ottomans. They’re also a Caucasus nation and were the first country to officially adopt Christianity as the state religion.
@@Bbmin0rBmaj0ryeah just armenians were conquered by turcoman invaders. They had not christian kingdoms . but yeah they saved christianity.
Big respect to georgia
I'm a Christian but why y'all always bring religion?
Have you ever look at muslim fighter posts or videos? the comments are flooded with muslims saying things like “muslim
best fighter blah blah blah” stuff so i say it is valid
Merab’s interviews have no direction haha and we absolutely love it. Dude deserves the name Machine 😮
Where are all the nurmagomedov family hype fanboy?
Crying
Still trying to troll 😂
Islam ahead of kabob already
lol kabob melting down in the corner
Here
Love to see Merab win. What a great champ.
His voice when saying I love you Georgia gives me goosebumps
Where dagestan fan boys ?? 😂😂 Merab the king
They are happy Islam won easily. You win most and lose some.
@@molaksterssklmk4640 umar is chicken
Why chicken not fight? Why he quit? Send umar 2 3 years georgia.
Why umar hand a baloon? Brader father plan by merab beat father plan by umar. Bad father plan umar brader.
@@imma5761 I'm not a Dagestani. But the way you're talking shows that you hate the fella way too much. Slow it down budd its not that deep
Awesome Merab!
What a incredible performance!
I’m happy for him he deserves that. He’s a nice and fun guy with good heart. He needed this win to show that ppl shouldn’t fall for his character he is professional and good fighter.
My favorite champion, Merab! Lets go!
Now Umar can happily continue living in Russia
😂😂😂
😂
In farm😂😂😂😂
He won everyone's heart 😊
Where are the Umar fans now? He was never scared of Umar, he owns him for eternity!!!
umar will be the champion in the future.
@@Teamssans23not while Merab is active lol
I thought he was scared the way he was behaving, I think he was scared but overcame it and won. It's a beautiful story.
It's 47 48 for 2 judges. Not one sided victory. Happens
@@Smk-eb3dh judges got it wrong lol it was 49-46 lol

What language are you writing with?
@BestTrader-hp2sd its georgian language, We have ouer own language and alphabet.
Congratulations from Ukrainian people. We all were cheering for Merab this night! Sakartvelos Guamargjos!
@@davitmacharashvili2639 wow I thought it was some kind of imoji 😄 WTF!? Damn, Georgian, okay now I'm not sure, it seems like USA+Brazil+UK we were all cheering for Merab. Nice to meet you.
@@davitmacharashvili2639 hey, is Christianity strong in your country? Would you say the faith is strongest in your country? rumors are that Georgia fought the Muslims that were forcing their Muslim religion to a Christian Georgia.
I loved his speech
I LOVE MERAB WOOO
I'm so happy for this guy that I lost my voice while cheering for him. Congratulations brother, billions of times
Thank u for the Komment.have Tears
I love Merab Man. Don’t change for no one my brother stay strong 💪🏾
