Correct. And a title fight of Merab/Umar is an exceptional matchup also. Just haven't anticipated that matchup for several years, as I've done with Cory/Sean for 3 years at least, been wanting to see that one.

[@BrayZap]

Merab is overrated trash. Judging really needs to be different and force these guys to actually fight. Merab at the end was bleeding in 5 different places and hunched over in pain, Sean did way more damage and looked completely normal at the end. They really need to take into account who did MORE DAMAGE, not who laid on the other the longest. Merab played "lets control the entire fight while doing vietually no damage just to get the decision W" and thats why ill never respect him. Sean proved even more why hes the GOAT and the much more skilled fighter

How was it disgraceful. Sean's fought nothing but grapplers and submission artists since Almeida 7 fights ago. People think Yan won because they dont know judging changed in 2022 right before that fight happened to not reward grappling that doesn't lead to anything, or useless control time, and rewards damage more. Yan and Merab both did nothing with control time, and they both were leaking and split open that's why they both lost rounds on the scorecard.

Think it’s time for Shaun to get rid of Tim Welch unfortunately. Or at least venture out to other camps, what he needs to learn Tim can’t teach him. Keep him in his corner but he needs someone to game plan better and Tim hasn’t been able to work on Shaun’s most obvious weakness in the takedowns and wrestling game.

[@PhantomxBlitz-c8w]

Fair statement, but I believe Tim is the best coach for him, they way they interact ect. It’s the same when you are a grappler or wrestler striking is a weakness if you’re using to set up takedowns, also takes longer in my opinion to be more fluid and comfortable with your wrestling, I think he ground game is okay he got caught by a mauler he hasn’t had the pressure, hopefully we see a new O’Malley.

Wasn’t Dominick Cruz the same guy claiming Conor had the dominant position when Khabib was pounding his face in ?

[@aBBB321]

Merab is going to try and collect as much 💰💰💰 as he can going for easier fights. He doesn't want to to risk losing the belt too early. So he'll probably avoid fighting Umar as much as possible.

[@alisoyupak2730]

You think merab has any power in who he fights next looooool he’ll do as he’s told by the ufc

[@Flyers48]

This wasnt about O'Malley. Hes still an elite striker and fighter. This was all about Merab who has now dominated Aldo, Yan, Cejudo and O'Malley ... Merab is probably most dominant grappler since Khabib. Id probably rank him #2 P4P after Islam given his resume.

[@edwardallan5633]

I think merab bears umar he would be right on top

[@DADDA154]

Omalley vs chito3 Omalley vs figgy Umar vs merab is for sure next..

[@geovannyfranco3152]

We need more Gilbert Melendez takes

[@vinecorereptiles1225]

Figgy vs Merab Sean vs Sandhagen

[@peteasarisi2536]

Mebore vs Unap & Omalley vs Sandhagen same card

[@V-is4Val]

I want to see a title eliminator Omalley vs Umar

[@tito5428]

Jon Anik is a beast. Fans need to appreciate this man--remember Mike Goldberg?

[@drunkenboxing781]

He's a drug riddled little fiend

[@15yuji]

There is a monster born from crazy mountains standing infront of your doors step merab, there is nowhere to run or hide, face your fear like a worrior from the caucasus would merab and dye with honor

[@sSaBBaSs12]

Lol. I have seen hipe-trains one after another, Merab just demolished O'Malleys one, next in line please! He just said he will fight whoever Dana selects, but also maid it clear that Umar does not deserve the shot! Still, bring it on baby, bring it on!

[@ChrisBenJericho]

Merab is from caucasia u slow cnt

[@Agentxx00]

And they better not give O’Malley a rematch

[@ahsokatanosloveinterest]

Sean vs Deiveson. Send it.

[@EthanSamuels-n2f]

Back to the co main goes the bantam weight belt

[@samsonfpv8902]

Sandhagen would end omalley. His best shot is petr yan

[@SajjadKhan-cn6mv]

MERAB VS UMAR WILL BE THE HIGHEST QUALITY MATCHUP EVER in UFC. I understand why merab wants umar to fight one more time, merab's path to belt is really second to none.

[@khaire6661]

Umar next champ remember that

[@sSaBBaSs12]

Aha, may be in 3-5 years!

[@marwanhanif5735]

merab vs timbo welch. lets go!
