All be aside john Wood is one of the best coaches and underrated coach In the game

[@georgenjoroge6243]

I think Coach Wood deserves a great ton of credit. He's one of the best minds in the game and helped Merab transition from the Longo team to a more competitive Syndicate with plenty of sparring partners. John Wood is not well known for his tactical acumen but I think this fight it worked to perfection and helped Merab avoid Sean's fire power. This is why a matchup with Umar will depend mostly on the tactics and not the fighters. Congrats coach!

24:50 Henry was a Flyweight and a small Bantamweight, meanwhile Umar is a big Bantamweight, size matters in wrestling as well, also Henry was 36 years old when he fought Merab, after passing 35 years old its more difficult to win a title in divisions between 135-170 lbs, and Henry has 0 submission win, Umar has submissions so that makes Umar a better grappler than Henry for MMA.

[@technodromen]

Umar gas tank alot didn’t hold up in his second to last fight, Cory also showed some real ways to nullify his wrestling. Umar will for sure be favored but I’m not doubting that Merab can put a pace on guys that NO ONE can keep up with. Unless you significantly hurt him in rd 1 or 2. You’re in for a roooough night.

[@timurjack8773]

@technodromen , Umar takedown Cory in every 5 rounds, he didn't hold Cory down for long but still its impressive to do it in every rounds. Meanwhile Merab couldn't take OMalley down in round 3, and lost that round and 5th round, which opponent has better wrestling? Cory has better wrestling than OMalley.

[@workoutdestroyer]

They didn't even offer them to fight

[@timurjack8773]

@workoutdestroyer , Dana: ''If Merab wants to fight Sterling we can make that fight'' Merab: no response Dana saying that in a press conference is an offer and Merab not responding is saying no.

[@Nolbert24]

O’Malley did surprise me, I didn’t think he could hang with Yan, the Aljo ko was pretty solid and he beat Chito as good as anyone has yet despite O’Malley being champ we still don’t fully know where he stacks up. Even a guy like Poatan may not have had his wrestling tested or whatever but he’s beat plenty of high level competition already

[@travistodd6915]

Sounds like a bunch a haters. One dude is an awesome striker the other an awesome wrestler. And I wouldn’t call gettin held down and kneed in the leg a ass whooping lol they could fight agin and Sean could sleep merab or he could get held down and kneed in the leg for 25 mins but no matter what that’s the fight everytime they fight. And I like them both I’m a fan of the sport and all fighters. Takes a big set to step in a cage infront of the world and put your body and your ego on line. So respect to both.

Doesn't even look like Sean was in a fight especially a 25-minute fight. And everyone saying that Merab dominated Sean that's not domination but he did easily win

[@technodromen]

Sean is a striker. KO’d one or the best BW’s ever. Has a high light reel that would make anderson blush. Merab (a wrestler) held him to aprox 10 strikes per round. That is without an exessive amount or ground control. Seans coach said to him going into the 5th: ”Its almost over man” (in a voice of pity). Not all dominations are ass kickings.

Could be reading too much into it, but I didn't sense a lot of confidence from Coach when asked about Umar. Merab's response when asked about fighting Umar has been even less encouraging. I don't think they like that match up.

[@timurjack8773]

18:43 The path was longer for Merab because he didn't want to fight Aljo, Merab could get title shot when he beat Jose Aldo 2 fights ago which was in 2022. You guys trying to credit him for something he chose to do not UFC, which is not fighting Aljo.

[@BryanMuwanguzi]

The UFC never offered Merab the title fight vs Aljo, so that's a false narrative.

[@eggm0ney]

@@BryanMuwanguziwhy would they offer him a fight that he was never gonna take

[@BryanMuwanguzi]

@eggm0ney That's irrelevant in regards to my point. Facts are, you can't claim he could've been champion if he had wanted to fight Aljo, cause that fight was never actually on the table at any point in time.

[@timurjack8773]

@BryanMuwanguzi , Merab never ask for title shot so he didn't want to fight Aljo. Dana literally said in a press conference before if Merab wants to fight Sterling they can make that title fight, I think that was after Merab beat Jose Aldo 2 fights ago in 2022, so you want UFC to force 2 friends to fight each other so they can blame UFC for that? Merab should've asked for title shot but he didn't. Or he could move down or move up divisions he didn't do that as well, so my point remains, Merab chose that more difficult path, he could get title shot earlier.

[@BryanMuwanguzi]

@timurjack8773 It's not even a week ago Merab said that the fight was never even on the table, while also saying that him fighting Aljo wasn't completely impossible if they really had to, but he's obviously not going to actively call for a fight vs a close friend. But it remains a false narrative to say that he could've been a champion earlier, if only he had accepted a fight vs Aljo.

[@JohnDoe-ep1cp]
