Rogan: umar is next Merab: i love dana white 😂😂😂

Exactly 🤣 that was the worst 🦆I've ever seen

[@julesm1389]

Merab is so scared to fight Umar, actng like chicken heart. Not a true champ attitude! A real champ must fight anyone!

[@moorez0007]

Umar defeated most top 10 before they even fight in Octagon, except the the only one brave Sandman

[@gl0wballentertainment235]

HONESTLY, I DONT GET FIGHTERS THAT SAY - OH THIS GUYS NOT DESERVING, OR THIS GUYS NOT EVEN DANGEROUS...OK MERAB, IF HE ISNT, JUST FIGHT UMAR THEN & PROVE IT...PROVE THAT YOUR MUCH BETTER THAN HIM...FIGHT HIM! WHY SAY THINGS...

[@SajjadKhan-cn6mv]

merab's path to the belt is second to none, but as a champ you fight anyone the ufc puts in front of you. champs cannot be cowards, contenders are cowards and avoid fights all the time. umar and merab both know that this a near 50/50 fight

[@julesm1389]

Umar will destroy merab thats why Merab avoiding Umar and wants a rematch with Sean. Merab has a heart like chicken! Not a true champ attitude!

If you believe you can beat Umar, then why are you 🦆him? Man, champions should not be saying who deserves or doesn't deserve to fight! Look at Izzy, Islam, Volk, and the rest of all the greats! Do you think Izzy said no, Alex doesn't deserve????

[@zahmed151]

I don't understand why yall so scared of umor 😂

[@julesm1389]

Because they have a heart like chicken 🐥 Not true champ!

[@sstech5410]

It’s crazy how they’re avoiding Umar.

[@naturoidz2714]

Umar got 1 ranked win. Figgy 2 rank wins, 1 former champjon, and a former champion himself. Umar got 1 good name in his resume out of 18 fights. They're not ducking. They're just being fair.

[@nayeemali2449]

[@adriangutierrez8657]

@@naturoidz2714 dude if you know anything about fighting business is that nobody is trying to be president of fairness, they want to make more money and that’s almost all the time with the wins against big names, not a youngster that could be easily better fighter than Khabib.

[@jcvp2493]

@@nayeemali2449 Umar can wait for another fight; he should go to an elimination match first. Or do you think Lopez should get the title fight next? He has done more to deserve a title fight than Umar, and no one is crying about it like you guys do with Umar.

Yeah they scared, and it’s fair cuz Umar is a big problem.

[@NatureByHS]

RUN FORREST RUN

[@mohamedhafizh9201]

i mean.. merab could've just said yes to umar, and make a part of the contract to have an immediate rematch should he lose, due to him giving umar a chance @ it, eventho he thinks umar doesnt deserve it. idk.. unless he thinks, his reign will be shorter due to taking umar NOW and never see the belt again.

[@Seeloknya_Sebaiknya]

If Umar at no 2 not deserve it, so who more deserving than him? 125 ex champ that no 5???????

[@julesm1389]

Stop running away from Umar plz .... Note; Because you are trying so hard to avoid fighting Umar, now fans and @UFC want to make this fight !!! Too much Umar in your mind, stop it ....

[@Lukxy]

stfu merab called out umar moment he enterd ufc we saw how it workoued for sean getting pushed after 1 ranked win same things gonna happened that russias slave

[@jcvp2493]

How difficult was it for Merab to get to the title fight? Dude, I would be pissed as well if I broke my back working, and then someone arrives and is awarded the position I was dying for.

@@subutai999 what is Merab going to do? He has no advantage over Umar. How do you see him winning? The only young good wrestler he fought was Ricky Simon and he got finished.

[@subutai999]

@@mauriziocardile499 if you think Simon was winning that fight or won because of his grappling skills you are either trolling or a retard 🤣 Merab is the best across all divisions p4p whwn it comes to pressure wrestling, pressure, speed, volume, and cardio. Umar is a good sumbission wrestler and has diverse striking technique, but when Merab overpowers you with pressure and volume all fighters become "flat" as salty uncle dana tried to downplay Merabs world class. Either way, Merab vs Umar is already confirmed (insiders) next fight so you can come in this xomments after and cry about Merabs next opponent 🤣

[@mohamedhafizh9201]

@@Adjara-t2b everyone evaded him.. and ali just told espn,they had to get some random fighter to fight him due to no one wanting to fight him. cory was the only one man enough to take him. sean o malley saw the potential of umar, that's why he was okay fighting umar next. you're just a casual. according to merab's friend aljo in his very recent pull out video from 307(like 30 mins ago ), he even mentions we fight whoever to get to top. but no one wants to fight him? that's saying something. imagine being in a higher ranking and yet afraid someone below could just take ur position ( that's lack of self confidence if you ask me ). a victory is a victory, doesnt matter if that person is one level below you or not. everyone has a chance to the top. imagine the 2nd guy and 3rd guy doesnt want to fight due to being afraid of losing that 2nd spot.

[@Adjara-t2b]

@@mohamedhafizh9201 I see you are a muslim and support umar your ahh off and i understand you,BUT 1 ranked opponent is not enough to get a title shot that’s a bad example and nurmagomedov privilege that works in corrupted UFC.Imagine training your ass off fighting every contender and some guy named umar getting a shot after facing one ranked guy who was only in the conversation because people hated merabs style.UFC should be worried about their fighters,why merab has to fight that guy,why?

No sooner had Merab won the belt than people started talking about an Umar vs Merab fight. Leave the guy alone FFS! Let him enjoy the moment, meanwhile, Umar will have an opportunity to prove that he`s a worthy opponent; let him fight a few top guys. Let`s see what he`s made of.

Umar is being pushed only coz of his surname. The guy has one ranked win which was a gift itself from UFC. Getting a shot at number 2 guy after beating a debutant guy. Wow Ufc is going the right direction 😞

Get the Figgy Smallz fight and then fight Umar Merab. I know Luke Thomas said one Cory Sandhagen fight is worth more than the 3 wins Deiveson got but still Figgy has fought more. Umar hasn't unlike Khabib. Khabib mauled his way to his title shot. Umar should as well.

Простой достойный обычный парен, крестьянин, мужик Мераб в своём интервью не задевая ни кого, культурно сказал на понятливом языке, что он уважает каждую нацию, тем более с Кавказа соседей Чеченцев, но некоторые те Чеченцы, которые выступают и бьются за родину россию, а он Грузин и бьётся за Грузию и в радости и не дай бог на войне… и спрашивается: почему он должен дат Умару поблажку по братски как земляку? или потому что он брат авторитета бойца Хабиба и Ислама? или же, что самое главное, потому что он беспардонно своим нагловато возвышенным духом и с улыбкой перед всей публикой мира унизительно оскорбляет чемпиона достойного человека Мераба, что он трус и как неуважительный человек боится и убегает от него, а его братья авторитеты поддерживают в этом? и много чего ещё.... смысл одно: нельзя просит милостыню от того человека, которого оскорбляя незаслуженно и задевая чувство собственного достоинство... Так что Умар ти согрешил перед Мерабом и лучше обращайся таким Макаром у земляков Ян россиян, может быт он больше поймёт тебя и даст заслуженный бой..., а время покажет кто сильнее духом и телом.. Слава всем воинственных народов за правду Кавказцев!!!
