Hey Ariel, as for round 5. Merab's face was smashed by poke kicks and 1-2s, in the end merab did the showboating and won the round, damageless takedown. that's it! I wonder how umer didn't get a split decision. Also the second judge gave it 46-49 merab (Absurd scoring)
@@mubashirsherdil3382A split decision is when a judge thinks u won while another judge thinks u didn’t. A champ fight is scored like 5 separate fights. Then tallied up. What 3 rounds did Umar win?
@@duramaxdadI believe Merab won, but I'll give you a steelman argument. Meaning I'll argue a position that I don't actually believe. Umar won 1,2, and 5
Not a tall order or lofty standard, considering the div.isnt overflowing w/natural born KILLERZ, murderous warriors or cannibalistic Predators known for anihalating opposition like a mid day lightweight snack. In general, BANTAM weight is kinda like a petting zoo. ..soft, fluffy danger free zone...sure- entertaining but HARDLY poses ANY THREAT.
Okay, keep repeating Joe Rogan. The fight had zero sense of danger. Merab doesn’t finish people and after the first round Umar wasn’t throwing anything powerful. It was an average fight at best, mid second round it obvious to anyone that watches ufc more than casually that Merab was winning by decision.
What a performance by Merab, Jiri and ofc ISLAM Umar looked so fluid in the first two rounds but man Merab's cardio and resilience and he wasn't even 100% due to injury. Fan making performance. His resume is so damn impressive. Great event.
@@MrPrinceIsaacHe wanted to fight SoM in November because of $$. After that was not allowed, he wanted Devinson in March because he wanted to do a minor surgery on his hands Umar called him a coward, insulted Georgia etc. And most importantly Dana was rumoured to be getting mad. So he called in December to fight today. Was there injury; yes. 100%. Was is a game stopper; no. Usman needed surgery on his knees forever but is still fighting. Ben Askern fought the last 6 years of his career with a hip that needed replacement. But should we crap on Merab for wanting a surgery; no.
Merab is such a dog it will be super hard for Suga to get that belt again for sure but Sean seemed super off last fight and he is the only one with the reach and striking that could KO Merab. I think Merab Sean 2 will be a lot more competitive than we think. I’m sure it’ll be the next fight in may.
@@malvarez8484 I just posted a comment about this on his podcast. On his podcast he’s a chill ass dude that actually has a lot of cool values talks about reading and doing a lot of work to better himself in every aspect im like bro if this is how you presented yourself all the time you would be so much more likable to people and would actually gain peoples respect instead of the cringy cool guy thing it comes off mad corny and unnatural
@@newporttaylor2702 ya that’s cool, the other night in La with that pink hair and pink kimono and those sunglasses he looked like a cracked out grandma
Merab should seriously be considered among the top 3 to ever compete at Bantamweight. His record is unreal. 4 ex champs AND the so called Nurmagomedov prodigy. The man needs his respect.
What? Dude is the best bantamweight of all time… Last 5 wins were Umar, Suga, Henry, Yan, Aldo IN A ROW… Issue with him is he is extremely boring unless he fights someone with similar grappling but nobody has that except Umar but with Umar getting such a big jump he won’t get that fight again for another 18-24 months.
@@threeskin1 WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I didn't say Islam has to wait. Im saying Arman is not getting the next title shot. Did you not hear Dana white at the press? He said Arman blew his opportunity and now has to go back to the drawing board. No title shot for him.
Jiri is the man! I get the same feeling watching Jiri as I used to get watching Anderson back in the day. Expecting something incredible to happen but all the while knowing that at any point it could all go terribly wrong! He fights on the very edge and we love him for it.
Merab, what a legend. To break down an undefeated nurmagomedov, like that, was so epic! what a fight Talbot would have learnt alot. i think he needed that fight to fill in those gaps in his game.
@demorvie too soon for yan merab rematch, first fight was not close. Also Sandhagen is far improved now and took the Umar Fight when no one would. Would like to see yan vs umar.
Merab is literally undislikeable 😂❤ Salute from Vani (the beautiful place he hails from), Georgia! 👋 He's our pride and joy (especially in the tough times the country is currently going through) 🦾
I was there last night. This stadium is state of the art, high tech. It should be called the King of arenas because its high resolution monitor circles the whole arena. Has all the smoke, lights and an incredible sound system. The first half of the card dragged a little but the Main event portion delivered big time.
9:30 , Pereira has only 5 ufc win streak while Makhachev has 15 ufc win streak, its not even close. Merab has 12 ufc win streak, Belal has 11 ufc unbeaten streak, Makhachev > Merab and Belal > Pereira.
Ye man, the alex glazing is getting a bit much. Alex fights in a much much less competitive division, has no ground game, went to fourth round and was close to getting finished by 8th ranked contender, has not fought the number 1 contender for a year now. Yes poatan is still amazing but i cant even imagine comparing him to islam.
@@biggbalss33I agree with everything you said except one thing. When was he close to getting finished by the 8th round contender? Khalil never came close to finishing Alex lol
Nor should he. So much is put into putting these events together. If you pullout at the last minute, then sorry there’s consequences. You can’t be counted on, and that’s very important to Dana
The insinuation is that Arman was not injured. He was overweight. Which would make the fight useless. If he loses it's over. 2-0. If he wins, he doesn't get the belt.
It's Chandler vs Islam next! He already beat Charles, he already beat Arman (and Arman messed up his chance) and Islam doesn't like rematches. Done problem solved.
@29:30 Rick is actually the voice of reason. I was screaming this on my phone and was glad he pointed out that Charles also lost his title shot after pulling out against his rematch with Islam
Umar almost got slept against the debutant Kazakh before getting gifted a #10 ranking (with no ranked wins) and then a home-crowd fight against the #3 guy. Last-name privileged stopped in its tracks by the EPO goblin
People love to forget to mention how Merab went almost sleeping in round 1 and 2 was wobbling a lot. Merab also failed most take downs and did less dmg and was heavily bleeding
Makes ZERO sense for Makhachev to fight Ilia. If he wins, haters will say he beat another FW, if he loses, "oh he was never that good," does nothing for him, but would be greatest opportunity for Ilia. Reality is he is the P4P KING! And def a top 10 all time at this point.
How did Ariel go from the Ringer MMA show to this shit? He dropped Chucks opinions for GCs? It went from professional analysis to a fan cast. Huge drop in quality for no reason, Uncrowned employs Petsey and Chuck. Promotional Malpractice.
Have anyone clocked that Merab said "he can retire now" in that interview with Rogan after the fight? Everyone been talking about "what's next" for Merab idk if anyone noticed that he already said that
Khabib retired to early, but no one is ever as dominant as Khabib. The dude never loses a round, never been drop never been cut. I think khabib still dominate Islam in grabbling in the practice.
Dude Armans team knew about the "injury" a momth ago and have been training Moicano to fight Islam all along. That is why they only let the UFC know just hours before weigh in to make sure Moicano got the fight.
Jiri having to fight Khalil is a bullshit take lol. Jiri just finished and dominated #3, and his reward is to fight #7 (who also just came off being finished by the champ), for a number 1 contender eliminator?
Islam Merab Illia Pereira Pantoja First 3 are literally GOATs Pereira 2 belts, cleared lw except one guy, Ank Pantoja cleared divison, could become goat. Dricus, Belal, Jon jones... interchangable. Dricus/Belal needs to clear division. Jones needs... Aspinall. Outstanding champions.
Suga deserves the next shot you heard Merab he said Aljo beats his ass plus is the best bantamweight champ ever & Suga sat that boy down give him the rematch
Merab is a weapon! Cardio is king! And Islam beat Money Moicano like Green and Hooker! Damn easy money! And Ariel needs to chill, let the boys in the back run the show.. him coming in at the start making a fuss on his high horse... Chill man! 🎉
If Gaethje beats Hooker, then he'll fight for the belt. If Hooker wins, they wouldn't do the rematch. If they make the Paddy/Chandler fight and Paddy smokes him . Then they would do Paddy/Islam. If they don't give it directly to Arman- outside of these options- it has to be a welterweight fight, if belal loses...or Ilia if he moves up.
Khabib def raised the frequency: DP before and after Khabib is not the same, the entire game changed after the eagle swept through. comparing different era's is always tricky because there is a cumulation of knowledge and frequency. Considering that, What Islam is doing -athletically, mathematically, spiritually, frequencially,...he exceeds the expectation. It's one thing to know one thing it's a whole other thing to see it manifested. I think Islam is surpassing even the great late coach Abdulmanap vision! He proved it, continues to prove it,...What he is doin is beyond historical! This is stuff for myths!
Not to hate on him too much but I'm glad. He's a hippie, cool to see a fighter be a lil different than the average mindless MAGA guy, but I don't understand the glazing
With the way Dana said that shit about Arman and the doctor I kind of think maybe they all felt his back either wasnt really that hurt or as bad as he said. Maybe this was to cover a botched weight cut and miss? Cause missing for this title fight is worse than pulling out due to an injury. It really kind of sounds like the UFC thinks he could have fought. The problem is if you dont go Arman there arent any really good options. If Charles never lost to Arman than that rematch is ok but coming off that loss and another rematch when we've seen Volk rematch, was gonna have Arman rematch, now Charles? I'm sure Islam is looking at it like I want new challenges and thats why I have a feeling if Shavkat beats Belal he's going to WW for his next fight. But Timing is key, if Islam is gonna fight again maybe June, he wasnt hurt and didnt break a sweat he could def fight again in May/June and then again in Oct and have a 3 fight year so maybe they do Charles or Arman and then WW title shot in Abu Dhabi.
No shot Arman is getting that fight back. Dana doesn’t vibe well with drama. You do what he says or it doesn’t work out well for you and they’ve already had trouble making that fight with him when he refused it the first time because it wasn’t enough time back of the line for him😢😂
Why would Islam deserve credit for taking a fight against an easier opponent for more money..When your a main event fighter, your a partner with the UFC, and the show must go on..Which is why we won't see Arman next, he violated that partner trust..
I get why people of lovingerab right now - he beat a nurmagamedov. But lets put that aside and focus on the actual fight 1. Umar had better stats in tersm of damage and strikes 2. Umar confortably won the first two rounds the rest of the three were close 3. It wasnt a great fight. It was ok. 4. I cant recal where merab had umar in danger 5. All i hear is cardio and pushing the pace re merab - he didnt actually di much when he wrestled. No ground and pound or subs 6. Umar stuff 23 or 30 takedown attempts 7. Merab looked ok. But nothing special 8. I think the main praise is cos the book makers had umar as favourite 9. Umar showed he deserved to be in the top ranked fighters. He took merab all the way.
@HPloveCraftsCat1352 hey it's all good. Merab seems like a good guy and well done to him. I'm just putting some perspective. Umar will definitely be champ in near future. Prob need 2-3 more fights. Age is on his side. Very talented. I'm mainly annoyed at the bigots
I do think Arman should be penalized for it only because he waited til 1am the day before the fight which then caused another fight to fall through with benil v Moicano which was a fight many wanted to see. I don’t think it should be a 2 fight situation I think he should fight Charles again and let Islam fight ilia and then whoever wins between Arman and Do Bronx gets the shot honestly Do Bronx deserves the shot more than Arman given most people thought do Bronx won that fight and then he took a fight he didn’t need against chandler who wasn’t even top 5 at the time.

He was already humble...he beat him fair and square its a fight one has to loose

The insinuation is that Arman was not injured. He was overweight. Which would make the fight useless. If he loses it's over. 2-0. If he wins, he doesn't get the belt.
Love Ariel but when he joins in like this he is such a fun sponge, just chill ❤
Good job on the post show lads
Disrespect most fans showed towards Merabs skills is incredible to me. You must dont know shit to consider Umar a clear favorite in this fight.
I wonder if Arman couldn't make weight and used an injury as an excuse.
100 percent what happened
That's the word that's going around
Dana Whites treatment of Merab has been despicable
Arial is the Vince McMahon of the show!
Especially considering those leaked DMs

The dynamic with the 3 of you guys is the best
You don’t have to pray for Arman, he’s not even in his prime yet. He’ll win and earn another shot. Also, he got injured, that’s on him.
Kevin Holland absolutely sucks! He's lost the last 4 out of 5 fights. So glad this hype train has been exposed. Rampage > Holland

RIP to Anthony Taylor. What a disaster
That beat is 🔥
Charles is next!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
How did O’Malley was ever s champ??? He has no chance against either of these guys. UFC made that one up. Not happening again Sean.
O’Malley won the 5th against Merab. Had him running for his life after a body kick, there’s no bias here either. Rewatch that 5th round
Umar almost got slept against the debutant Kazakh before getting gifted a #10 ranking (with no ranked wins) and then a home-crowd fight against the #3 guy. Last-name privileged stopped in its tracks by the EPO goblin

Almost sleeping? Umar landed a few clean shots but he was never in danger. Umar won 1-2. Merab won 3-5. Pretty easy scoring
Makes ZERO sense for Makhachev to fight Ilia. If he wins, haters will say he beat another FW, if he loses, "oh he was never that good," does nothing for him, but would be greatest opportunity for Ilia.

Caption on video was wrong, this was the 4th title defense for Makhachev, not fifth
Merab is able to outwork everyone. Saw him running at 5am this morning
Great show i am big fun from UK
No shock to me with merab i felt he would out work umar his cardio and ability to go up gears in the championship rounds is unreal
Chris Kaman is the right answer for the Clippers hat lol.

This was right on the nose 👃
Khabib retired to early, but no one is ever as dominant as Khabib. The dude never loses a round, never been drop never been cut. I think khabib still dominate Islam in grabbling in the practice.

But Timing is key, if Islam is gonna fight again maybe June, he wasnt hurt and didnt break a sweat he could def fight again in May/June and then again in Oct and have a 3 fight year so maybe they do Charles or Arman and then WW title shot in Abu Dhabi.
Why do they keep saying Davis Ramos? It was Adriano Martins who knocked Islam out.
The Jon Jones disrespect is insane to me. He’s clearly number one pound for pound.
Merab beat 4 ex champions back to back.
Islam has 2 fights against top 5 fighters in his whole career.
No shot Arman is getting that fight back. Dana doesn’t vibe well with drama. You do what he says or it doesn’t work out well for you and they’ve already had trouble making that fight with him when he refused it the first time because it wasn’t enough time back of the line for him😢😂
Why would Islam deserve credit for taking a fight against an easier opponent for more money..When your a main event fighter, your a partner with the UFC, and the show must go on..Which is why we won't see Arman next, he violated that partner trust..
Why is Arman not next? He didnt intentionally back out he obviously sustained a serious enough injury to compromise him.
@@mr.kavlasFor the ufc to punish him it probably wasn’t a serious injury as much as it was a weight cutting issue
I get why people of lovingerab right now - he beat a nurmagamedov. But lets put that aside and focus on the actual fight
1. Umar had better stats in tersm of damage and strikes
2. Umar confortably won the first two rounds the rest of the three were close
3. It wasnt a great fight. It was ok.
4. I cant recal where merab had umar in danger
5. All i hear is cardio and pushing the pace re merab - he didnt actually di much when he wrestled. No ground and pound or subs
6. Umar stuff 23 or 30 takedown attempts
7. Merab looked ok. But nothing special
8. I think the main praise is cos the book makers had umar as favourite
9. Umar showed he deserved to be in the top ranked fighters. He took merab all the way.
Cope, Seethe. Not only did Merab humble Umar he also broke GSP's takedown record.
@HPloveCraftsCat1352 hey it's all good. Merab seems like a good guy and well done to him. I'm just putting some perspective. Umar will definitely be champ in near future. Prob need 2-3 more fights. Age is on his side. Very talented. I'm mainly annoyed at the bigots
I agree !
Umar lost !!! 👍✊🙏
Breaking takedown record by throwing a nurmagomedov
I do think Arman should be penalized for it only because he waited til 1am the day before the fight which then caused another fight to fall through with benil v Moicano which was a fight many wanted to see. I don’t think it should be a 2 fight situation I think he should fight Charles again and let Islam fight ilia and then whoever wins between Arman and Do Bronx gets the shot honestly Do Bronx deserves the shot more than Arman given most people thought do Bronx won that fight and then he took a fight he didn’t need against chandler who wasn’t even top 5 at the time.
Bro its called contender series for a reason....as in 1-15 contender for the belt.....
And Still King Merab 🇬🇪👏🏼👑
Ariel cant get over being banned bc he knows being on the outs with dana cost him dearly $
GC is the man
Islam said after 5 title defence he’s gonna retired
Sean won round 5 against Merab. Nearly had him finished
Obviously Umar is the only one that can beat him he just needs enough cardio to last four solid rounds.
GC’s £4£ list sounds like something New York Ric would come up with.
Isn't it lb4lb ?
They are acting like they are shocked the the ufc wont give arman the next shot it was clear it would happen the ufc doesnt like things like that
Cant stand when the lackeys dont have their show runner
46:39 I know it’s a gimmick but Davi Ramos was in the corner of Raoni Barcelos tonight 😂
