Thank you Henry for being real. This is the reason why you are champ. Real champs have no problem giving credits where it belongs. Big respect from Georgia.
Guys Merab is actually the one fighter who deserves everything. What a nice person, what a disciplined worker. I hope he gets everything he wants in life. Sanhagen makes absolutely no sense because he lost to umar. Make Sean vs Umar and the winner gets a rematch.
Merab is a guy that wears his heart on his sleeve, that’s y he’s so passionate about everything. People were laughing at Merab for getting offended by Umar’s trash talk but who’s laughing now lmao 😂
@@iaqh LOL lucky?! Dude, you could have given Umar 3 hands and he would have still lost. Merab will beat anyone in the 135lb division right now, period.
Umar disrespected Henry's skillset on their interview a few months ago by saying that Merab took down an olympic champion multiple times... and Merab went ahead and done the same thing to Umar. That's why you always gotta stay humble
brother people from Asia whether it by south west or the Caucasuses they are very upfront, they say stuff how it is, he did not mean it in disrespect they just say stuff how it is and dont sugarcoat it like they do in the west.and Umar was humble but confident. Merab was just the better man

No he wouldn't fight Izzy cause he was a champ Izzy was a champ and also Francis at the time and they wanted 3 African champs not one African champ with 2 belts

@@sylanxolox4194 bro, you started your sentence with ‘NO’, ‘he wouldn’t because…’ as if Usman never said he’s friends with Izzy. That’s a denial. You’re correcting the guy as if he’s wrong in his statement.
Islam was already P4P number 1 prior to this win, in the eyes of anyone with a brain. Dana changing his tune isn’t unwarranted, when he should’ve had that tune to begin with anyways.
Facts. Unfortunately, Dana always uses the big media platforms to control the narratives, so all the casual fans think everything he says and does are facts considering that his interviews and conferences always gets a lot of big views.
So beating low ranked guy like moicano is qualified as p4p king? Bro p4p is for the sharks of the fight game like LWH and HW guys like jon jones and Tom aspinal , because in a real fight of islam vs jon jones or aspinal or ngannou will result in islam getting beat, islam is p4p in light weight division not the whole other divisions put together
@@LloydRajkumar You have a completely casual take. Don't blame Islam for his opponents pulling out. Jon beat Gane who was on a 1 fight winning streak and Stipe who hasn't won in 4 years. Not to mention that if Islam, Jon and Aspinall all fought in the same weight class; Islam would play with them because his skills are better overall.
@@alcottdevalte7440 I must disagree a little. Different weight classes require different skills. Some techniques don't work in higher weight classes and thus they are not utilized. Also, there's a tendency to pick lower weight class guy as a P4P because their style is generally more flashy, fast and varied. Higher weight classes are slower and more basic, but this doesn't mean that the skill required to succeed is lower. Regarding Islam as a P4P - I truly believe he is P4P best at the moment, but it's only an assumption since he hasn't proven that against many top names. His recent resume only has Charles and Dustin in LW and that's way not enough to prove whether his skill works against other guys in top 10 (I think it does, but... it's a guess).
11:22 we forgetting that Charles Do Bronx also pulled out against Islam? Charles pulls out, Volk becomes the sacrificial lamb and starched in 1 round. Arman pulls out, Money Moicano becomes the sacrificial lamb and gets tapped in 1 round.
That's why I'm divisions like this especially with fighters who are known to pull out there should be a backup fighter at all times... Easily could have had Olivera, Justin, he'll even illia I think it was poor planning imo but fights were still good so Idec
@shaji6481 it only makes sense to move up if belal losses... They are training partners and have little doubt they will fight each other.... Unless he wanna test himself against DDP but if those stars don't aligned right away why not have matchup that's at least exciting and fresh, give him a good striker with good ground game instead of another one dimensional guy rematch or guys who lost to the top 5 already
Khabib said Topuria would need to take out a big LW name first to cement him as a legit 155 contender. We already saw what happened with Volk and Islam didn't get credit for beating him with people saying "He's a 145'er so what". So beating Topuria before he cements himself as the 155 contender would be the same mistake.

@richmindset1259 I believe he doesn't understand it because Usman fought Gilbert Burns, a close friend and training partner of his at the time, so he just doesn't identify with the reasoning of Islam
@ielboy7137 usman didn’t want to fight burns but burns wanted his title u see after the fight how emotional he was because he hurt his friend he understands very well he’s just because fake being around Henry I see through the guy with the fake laugh everything for him it’s just for the money Islam brotherhood and religion means more than second belt usman lost his morals fake usman Colby was right
Yet Khabib says that’s Islam’s toughest challenge. Belal has beat Brady, called out Usman, wants to fight Shavkat. But he’s scared of Islam? Doesn’t make sense
I wanna see arman vs dustin. Dustin did soooo good against islam. If dustin wins against arman, he deserves another shot at the title. I love islam but i feel like dustin gave him such a hard time. Khabib was screaming “finish this round strong”, he didnt say that for fun. He said that because he knew the fight was close and judges are crazy
As much sense it makes what you said and as much I respect and rate Dustin, how many chances should someone get? The forth and the fifth? As much as I would love to see Dustin with the belt, I think it just shouldn’t happen with him.
Henry u got back my respect after talking about Merab like that man. only real fighter and man can recognize others like that, thnk u for everything u have done for this sport and still doing :)
7:29 finally someone says it. They have you do all around the worlds in HS wrestling. People confuse that warmup with what Tyson used to do which is a bridge WITHOUT hands. The same people mad at Arman for pulling out are the same people that were mad at TJ for not pulling out. No one wants to see a 1 armed cripple in the octagon. No one wants to see a guy who can barely walk fight Islam. 13:54 Jones shouldn't even be in the top 5. Look at his resume vs Merab's resume in the last 4 years. Or Topuria's resume as of recent. Or Pantojas'. How can you put Jones above any of them?
I totally agree with you but why I pull out the day before, it was just frustrating in that moment, but I understand he really wanted to try but it was just sad...
Islam fighting Topuria will tarnish his legacy because people are already blaming him for fighting ex 145ers..which is ridiculous. He needs to fight at 170 and I see him beating Belal and Shavkat. Beltran with the sneak look. lmao
Giving Sandhagen a title contention fight after a loss doesn't make sense, given the fact that Petr Yan is coming up with the win against Figgy... A rematch between O'Malley vs Yan in a 5-round fight makes more sense
I saw another interview of Javier on Submission Radio - He did not tell Javier and Khabib that his hand was broken and so swollen up after the first round - they only got to know when they all got back to the hotel or the locker room - Had he did according to Javier they would have changed the game plan on the spot and Khabib is a master of that according to Javier but Umar kept it to his own self. Had he told them the outcome may have been abit different perhaps just enough to snatch the win. That's why according to Javier, he and Khabib were surprised why in the 2nd round he kept on going for the takedowns when he could not hold Merab down but was doing well on the standup and both coaches (Khabib + Javier) were puzzled 🤔🤔🤔as to what he was doing, he was wasting energy and gassing himself out early cause they knew Merab was going to come back way stronger in the 3rd, 4th or 5th rounds and they both were puzzled. 🤔🤔🤔They told him no more takedowns just stand with him and maintain the distance on punching and kicking cause he did will standing on the 1st and 2nd round but little did they know that Umar's hand was already way busted up from the first round. I would have wanted to see Umar win and considering the fact that Dana was really ticked off with Merab from his Post fight interview, lol 🤔🤔🤔and he really wanted to change the bantamweight champion, 😅🤣😂but you can't change the past now, I hope Umar learns from this loss and hopefully this propels him to even more greatness - The Moral of the story - "Listen and Speak to your coaches. 🤔🤔🤔😅🤣😂
Merab has victories over Marlon Moraes , Aldo, Petr Yan, Suga, Henry and Umar back to back and still not in the top 5 pound for pound, Same for Pantoja he has beaten almost everybody at flyweight and still not a top 5 pfp fighter.
@@Youafool500 spamming takedowns and strikes with such high volume is not a joke, bantamweight has highest level of fighters in terms of technique and skills, like Petr,Suga,Umar and Merab being less technical was able to take them to deep waters and break them, of everyone was same weight, no one will be able to stop him, the only way to stop is having one puch KO power or to surpass his cardio, heck even pfp champ islam too was gassed out in first fight against volk now imagine what Merab's pace would do.
Another clip came out stating that he was injured but for say $800,000.00 he was wiling to fight and this really ticked Dana off . . . . . . . 🤔🤔🤔 🤣😂😅 and Dana kinda touched on this on the post fight press conference
You guys can make it back on the pound for pound, cmon guys work, fight, be positive. It would be so amazing to have you guys on the same card again… fans would love this
Yo umar might low key be so much more dangerous now that he’s got that experience going 5 against the best in the class, not being finished and honestly not being DOMINATED , definitely got beat but he stood his ground the whole time , imagine unar gets two fights KO’s both and comes back for merab
It was definitely more than a back injury. If Dana said he’s not getting another shot without working more and the way he said it something’s going on that we don’t know.
Dana has been very clear about his disdain for people missing weight... if Dana believed Arman was deserving and missed the fight by injury, why would he send Arman back?
Not gonna lie been watching since first episode, and ive came to the conclusion that Henry and usman dont really have much chemistry, outside of the podcast i don't picture them talking often/much lol
It's not about taking the #10 it's about taking a short notice fight nomatter who's in front of him. Something Jones would NOT do :) stop the hate 😤 and accept greatness #staysalty
Try to spice up the show. Inviting superstars is a great idea and it has really worked for this show, I want to see something more this year. Its good to see Professionals talking about their sport, it was too much of Civilians talking about the UFC, keep it up gents
Why should Sandhagen be rewarded for Merab's greatness in clearing out the top of BW, by giving Sandhagen a title shot coming off a 50-45 L? Unless the UFC gives Yan the Merab rematch as the only top ranked fighter on a W streak, Merab must go on vacation while O'Malley, Umar, Sandhagen & Figgy all get Ws, as they're all coming off losses & don't deserve title shots. Getting title shots coming off of Ls can't become the standard & readily acceptable.
Merab vs Umar was close… could go either way. I feel like that was what Merab plans from the beginning, score points via takedown, then drag the fight to decision since he cant beat Umar on wrestling and striking (Umar pieced him up bad in 1&2). But then the fight favored him when Umar broke his hand and he went firing all cylinder with his usual pressure and all definitely a tough situation for Umar.
Yes it was, experts are saying it too. It was 3-2, congrats Merab. Merab on cardio and winning some exchanges on the ground, ut was competitive. Umar has better stand up skills. Although it's not Merabs fault, Umar apparently broke his hand in the 1st round. Merab they are saying had some staph and back problem going into too.
@Duggubaby136 it was close decision, get off your recency bias. He couldnt wrestle or finish Umar despite Umar already injured, and his face was bloodied took more damage. He just score point via takedown, get up again rinse repeat.
Arman punched a fan and got suspended, which delayed the fight. Then pulled out the day before on the next time… he needs to get his shit together and I’m a fan.
@Vibe_Nomad , 48-47 with being close to winning the fight if 3rd round was scored to Umar (22 strikes from Umar, 21 strikes from Merab in 3rd round), and Umar also had a broken hand. If Umar is healthy he can beat Merab right now.
Guys, enough with the excuses. Merab beat Yan with a similar hand injury going INTO the fight. As well as other fighters too, like JDM. Merab also had his own injuries fighting Umar. Enough. Take the loss and hope Umar learns
@@timurjack8773 now stop giving excuses about broken hand, fighting with broken hand doesn't give you a extra point lmao He broke his hand during the fight only even makes Merab impressive
i think if umar did not break his hand in the very first round, Merab would have not been able to take Umar down that many. That's why Umar won the first 2 rounds but in the later rounds we slowly saw the tide going to Merab's favor simply because that hand is starting to bother Umar plus umar needs to work on his cardio. Still props to Merab But like umar said, no excuses. Umar will be the next champ for sure and that is the rematch i want to see. By the looks of it, Umar needs to win one fight in a dominant fashion and 2nd he needs a long rest for his injury. We maybe looking at Umar's comeback end of the year and sometime early next year for the rematch. i don't see anybody beating Merab except Umar.
It's comments like this that piss me off!! The whole point of a FIGHT is to injure your opponent so he cannot continue,Umar got injured in THAT fight because of Merab and instead of you Khabib Family Fan boys to give Merab credit you're typing crap! Merab haD better conditioning in that fight and Umar was talking like he was Khabib or something,Umar is a good fighter but he's not great yet,I have never watched Umar and thought "hey this is something I have never seen before"
@@impulsechannel6957 no proof of Merab's injury that he is talking about unlike Umar. that hand injury is severe but again props to Merab, it looks like he doesn't only have a great cardio but also a physic made of stone. i hope they rematch someday. i just believe Umar can beat him.

@ielboy7137 usman didn’t want to fight burns but burns wanted his title u see after the fight how emotional he was because he hurt his friend he understands very well he’s just because fake being around Henry I see through the guy with the fake laugh everything for him it’s just for the money Islam brotherhood and religion means more than second belt usman lost his morals fake usman Colby was right
Lol shut up. If he is a hypocrite you’re slightly dumb and delusional. So Islam hasn’t fought any Islamic guy before right.
Big love to your podcast guys! Appreciate that you both were not bias and gave respect where respect is due!
Great job please keep it!
Belal is scared of Islam, he won’t even entertain that fight 😂
You don’t know anything about muslims and friends.
Yet Khabib says that’s Islam’s toughest challenge. Belal has beat Brady, called out Usman, wants to fight Shavkat. But he’s scared of Islam? Doesn’t make sense
@@bonnymathebula007Belai beat bum Brady ??? 😂😂😂😂😂
@Bigsoldier41 Under age children must not comment on this platform. How is Brady a bum. He only lost to Belal who is currently a champion. 17-1. 🤦🏽
@@tabin9629They rape goats together?
Never thought the day would come where I start liking Henry more than clown ass usman
I wanna see arman vs dustin. Dustin did soooo good against islam. If dustin wins against arman, he deserves another shot at the title. I love islam but i feel like dustin gave him such a hard time. Khabib was screaming “finish this round strong”, he didnt say that for fun. He said that because he knew the fight was close and judges are crazy
As much sense it makes what you said and as much I respect and rate Dustin, how many chances should someone get? The forth and the fifth? As much as I would love to see Dustin with the belt, I think it just shouldn’t happen with him.

7:29 finally someone says it. They have you do all around the worlds in HS wrestling. People confuse that warmup with what Tyson used to do which is a bridge WITHOUT hands.
The same people mad at Arman for pulling out are the same people that were mad at TJ for not pulling out. No one wants to see a 1 armed cripple in the octagon. No one wants to see a guy who can barely walk fight Islam.
13:54 Jones shouldn't even be in the top 5. Look at his resume vs Merab's resume in the last 4 years. Or Topuria's resume as of recent. Or Pantojas'. How can you put Jones above any of them?
I totally agree with you but why I pull out the day before, it was just frustrating in that moment, but I understand he really wanted to try but it was just sad...

omalley vs sandhagen for the number 1 contender
Giving Sandhagen a title contention fight after a loss doesn't make sense, given the fact that Petr Yan is coming up with the win against Figgy... A rematch between O'Malley vs Yan in a 5-round fight makes more sense
no O'Malley vs Yan 2
I saw another interview of Javier on Submission Radio - He did not tell Javier and Khabib that his hand was broken and so swollen up after the first round - they only got to know when they all got back to the hotel or the locker room - Had he did according to Javier they would have changed the game plan on the spot and Khabib is a master of that according to Javier but Umar kept it to his own self. Had he told them the outcome may have been abit different perhaps just enough to snatch the win. That's why according to Javier, he and Khabib were surprised why in the 2nd round he kept on going for the takedowns when he could not hold Merab down but was doing well on the standup and both coaches (Khabib + Javier) were puzzled 🤔🤔🤔as to what he was doing, he was wasting energy and gassing himself out early cause they knew Merab was going to come back way stronger in the 3rd, 4th or 5th rounds and they both were puzzled. 🤔🤔🤔They told him no more takedowns just stand with him and maintain the distance on punching and kicking cause he did will standing on the 1st and 2nd round but little did they know that Umar's hand was already way busted up from the first round. I would have wanted to see Umar win and considering the fact that Dana was really ticked off with Merab from his Post fight interview, lol 🤔🤔🤔and he really wanted to change the bantamweight champion, 😅🤣😂but you can't change the past now, I hope Umar learns from this loss and hopefully this propels him to even more greatness - The Moral of the story - "Listen and Speak to your coaches. 🤔🤔🤔😅🤣😂

MERAB VS PANTOJA😤😤😤
2 cardio grappling freaks who have cleaned out their divisions

georgian here, this shit will be fire!
Pantoja is smaller, older. Doesn’t have the same level cardio
@ Yeah no shit. You act like champs havent moved up before. He wouldn't be favored to win but it makes sense. They both have cleared their divisions.
Kamaru is hilarious "the what's his name?, belal guy" 😂😂
Merab has victories over Marlon Moraes , Aldo, Petr Yan, Suga, Henry and Umar back to back and still not in the top 5 pound for pound, Same for Pantoja he has beaten almost everybody at flyweight and still not a top 5 pfp fighter.
Right
Just spamming takedowns will do nothing if everyone was the same weight, you need more then that to get into top 5 P4P
@@Youafool500 spamming takedowns and strikes with such high volume is not a joke, bantamweight has highest level of fighters in terms of technique and skills, like Petr,Suga,Umar and Merab being less technical was able to take them to deep waters and break them, of everyone was same weight, no one will be able to stop him, the only way to stop is having one puch KO power or to surpass his cardio, heck even pfp champ islam too was gassed out in first fight against volk now imagine what Merab's pace would do.
It's a midget division, not a normal Westerner size fighters. That is Y.
20:30 lmaooooo wtf

Lots of good points and insights in this video, by very experienced UFC fighters
MERAB WHAT A PERFORMANCE!!
umar had a broken arm in the first round but he still fought a very competitive fight.
@ HAND BUDDY HAND, he needs to select punches better
Facts
@@dahmoos_1233 so merab had spine disc broke and also injured on leg! this is MMA not cricket you bum! )
Yo umar might low key be so much more dangerous now that he’s got that experience going 5 against the best in the class, not being finished and honestly not being DOMINATED , definitely got beat but he stood his ground the whole time , imagine unar gets two fights KO’s both and comes back for merab
It was definitely more than a back injury. If Dana said he’s not getting another shot without working more and the way he said it something’s going on that we don’t know.
Rumor has it that he popped for some banned substance.
When you named the Islam champ fights you didn’t mention Dustin, which is probably his toughest fight as champ besides the first volk fight
Khabib is better than Islam. Nobody in UFC has ground & pound like him
Kamaru is right about Tsarukyan. He should fight Makhachev soon!
I agree with Kamaru and let's see Islam versus Arman
And he pull ups again😂
Dana has been very clear about his disdain for people missing weight... if Dana believed Arman was deserving and missed the fight by injury, why would he send Arman back?
Umar got humbled just like you, Henry 😂. Respect Merab, THE GOAT of the division. ❤
henry calling merab daddy is gonna give me nightmares 😂😂 actually made me so uncomfortable. great podcast guys!
Not gonna lie been watching since first episode, and ive came to the conclusion that Henry and usman dont really have much chemistry, outside of the podcast i don't picture them talking often/much lol
That's why people watch this show because of it being ridiculous, stupid and full of double standards and jealousy, which is hilarious.
12:40 Usman unironically forgetting Belals name is top tier comedy
also merab has beat 6 UFC champions in a row, it is GOAT territory

Merabbbb!!! 🐲🐉⚡️
Why should Sandhagen be rewarded for Merab's greatness in clearing out the top of BW, by giving Sandhagen a title shot coming off a 50-45 L? Unless the UFC gives Yan the Merab rematch as the only top ranked fighter on a W streak, Merab must go on vacation while O'Malley, Umar, Sandhagen & Figgy all get Ws, as they're all coming off losses & don't deserve title shots. Getting title shots coming off of Ls can't become the standard & readily acceptable.
Merab vs Umar was close… could go either way. I feel like that was what Merab plans from the beginning, score points via takedown, then drag the fight to decision since he cant beat Umar on wrestling and striking (Umar pieced him up bad in 1&2). But then the fight favored him when Umar broke his hand and he went firing all cylinder with his usual pressure and all definitely a tough situation for Umar.
It was not close man come on stop riding umar
Keep coping, it for sure will make umar better.
Merab could have finished umar 7 times in the last round.
Yes it was, experts are saying it too. It was 3-2, congrats Merab. Merab on cardio and winning some exchanges on the ground, ut was competitive. Umar has better stand up skills.
Although it's not Merabs fault, Umar apparently broke his hand in the 1st round. Merab they are saying had some staph and back problem going into too.
@Duggubaby136 it was close decision, get off your recency bias. He couldnt wrestle or finish Umar despite Umar already injured, and his face was bloodied took more damage. He just score point via takedown, get up again rinse repeat.
Arman punched a fan and got suspended, which delayed the fight. Then pulled out the day before on the next time… he needs to get his shit together and I’m a fan.
Umar lost this fight but im sure he will bounce back and beat merab
Maybe after 2-3 years, he ain't beating Merab now
@Vibe_Nomad , 48-47 with being close to winning the fight if 3rd round was scored to Umar (22 strikes from Umar, 21 strikes from Merab in 3rd round), and Umar also had a broken hand. If Umar is healthy he can beat Merab right now.
Guys, enough with the excuses. Merab beat Yan with a similar hand injury going INTO the fight. As well as other fighters too, like JDM.
Merab also had his own injuries fighting Umar. Enough. Take the loss and hope Umar learns
@@timurjack8773 you restarted or what just one more strike doesn't affect anything, control time, take downs, pressure matters too
@@timurjack8773 now stop giving excuses about broken hand, fighting with broken hand doesn't give you a extra point lmao

@@Enigma_408 henry should go watch back How Merab slam his ass on the canvas lika some Haystacks 🤣
i think if umar did not break his hand in the very first round, Merab would have not been able to take Umar down that many. That's why Umar won the first 2 rounds but in the later rounds we slowly saw the tide going to Merab's favor simply because that hand is starting to bother Umar plus umar needs to work on his cardio. Still props to Merab But like umar said, no excuses. Umar will be the next champ for sure and that is the rematch i want to see. By the looks of it, Umar needs to win one fight in a dominant fashion and 2nd he needs a long rest for his injury. We maybe looking at Umar's comeback end of the year and sometime early next year for the rematch. i don't see anybody beating Merab except Umar.
It's comments like this that piss me off!! The whole point of a FIGHT is to injure your opponent so he cannot continue,Umar got injured in THAT fight because of Merab and instead of you Khabib Family Fan boys to give Merab credit you're typing crap! Merab haD better conditioning in that fight and Umar was talking like he was Khabib or something,Umar is a good fighter but he's not great yet,I have never watched Umar and thought "hey this is something I have never seen before"
Coulda, Woulda, Shouda..... Merab beat him 4-1 umner took 2nd round
But Merab was not 100% going in to the fight. So I think it evens Umars injury
@@impulsechannel6957 no proof of Merab's injury that he is talking about unlike Umar. that hand injury is severe but again props to Merab, it looks like he doesn't only have a great cardio but also a physic made of stone. i hope they rematch someday. i just believe Umar can beat him.
