[@Zareias]

Fact is just that merab’s striking and jiu jitsu was so bad, his wrestling and grappling looked like stalling. Probably actually their plan…. sit on him without losing your own energy = neutralise the speed and distance omalley had over him, force him to climb back up to reduce his volume and energy, throw SAFE strikes from the ground and never move into a position omalley could advance from. But you can’t just sit on the ground and not throw anything or move for 20-30 seconds. He didn’t look for submissions, well he actually did but he doesn’t count because he understand how to properly get his hands together or when to pass up and move. He was more focused on putting on a performance than he was knocking out his opponent Multiple failed submission attempts + omalley consisteny getting up undamaged and atrocious ground striking is a good time to separate Herb made the right call. He was stalling because the longer omalley had to climb back up. The worse he would be in the remaining rounds. And that would’ve made the fight incredibly difficult to score because omalley did ALL the damage and merab got all the control and numbers

Don’t forget Merab MADE Sean look slow, weak and inadequate, he dominated his body and spirit all fight, not unsimilar to what Khabib used to do to his opponents.

[@BrandonCampbell08]

It was 48-47

[@MightGuy-dp7lo]

Nurmy actaully tries to finish people. He and merab are not similar. Merab tries to get into stalling positions to control rounds. Nurmy was mauling people, advancing position and looking for subs. He would get into positions to finish fights, merab not doing any of that. Merab content with kneeing peoples thighs or going for guillotines while his opponents in a sitting position knowing full well he never going to sub anyone like that. Merab never going to go for triangle like nurmy did against justin. He never willing to take a risk because he could get reversed. There not similar, one is focus on only position/control, the other was about mauling/dominating.

[@dingusbingus9194]

I would argue he tried at the first few rounds. He put the crank and anaconda sub a few times but eventually he had to rely on a technical victory towards the end

Totally agree! There has never been a more dominant fighter than Khabib but watching him grappling on the floor with his opponent for most of the fight was so fking boring. There has to be a change in the rules to not allow this to happen otherwise this is going to be more and more common.

No one wants to see a dominant wrestler just take a fighter to ground and sit on him for most of the round.

[@SamDupree-bw4rt]

Merab wasn't fighting. My friends and I used to wrestle around when we were young. sometimes it got a little more aggressive than others, but we weren't fighting. thats what merab fights remind me of. accept merabs opponants are actually trying to fight. Khabib used to do something similar but he would beat people on the ground. He wouldn't usually just lay on top of them to protect his position hoping to win on points. it's supposed to be entertaining. and in the long term it its not entertaining it will fail. merab fans will say, if you dont like grappling, then just go watch kick boxing. that argument works both ways. if we had a league of Merabs nobody would watch, just like no one watches college wrestling, accept for people who actually wrestled. its boring and it will kill the sport if it takes over.

It's not a lack of talent in the fights. It's a lack of anyone caring about 99% of the fighters because the UFC doesn't really promote fighters anymore. Hard to give a sh*t about a fight when you don't care about either of the fighters in any meaningful way.

The 3 fights before the mains were absolutely insane. Great card all round but the two mains did disappoint, i think a change to the way grappling is scored needs to be changed, if theyre positive and looking for a submission or GNP then great, if its a lay and pray "control" ground game, stand them up.

[@MGCerna]

Theres a sport called boxing where they only strike, it’s pretty great too. I personally prefer MIXED martial arts because it’s all disciplines, therefore different techniques and more ways to win. Merab’s whole strategy was to NOT spam takedowns this time. Because that along with his feints and kicks threw Sean’s rhythm off. That’s why Merab’s blast doubles and singles were perfectly timed. Merab put on a masterclass. Ohh and there’s also Muay Thai if you just want to see striking.

[@Ke_Monogeng]

Wait, did he say Valentina has never been exciting..? What on earth is he on about..?

[@eamonahern7495]

He stole Seán's jacket when Seán and Aljo faced off in the octagon after one of Seán's wins. Then he kissed Seán's back during the fight when he knew there wasn't enough time to submit Seán in that round, to show how dominant he was and how much fun he was having. I think Merab's attitude and sense of fun are great. Imagine if Chandler holding on to the prospect of a Conor fight is unintentionally clever. It means Chandler is willing to fight Conor whenever he's ready, making Conor look unwilling to fight at all.

I dont think the skill level in mma has decreased i think its increased massively even the lower card fighters are high high level making it way harder to get finishes so it may be less exciting than 5 10 years ago but theres no way its because the skill level decreased

The problem is the UFC set the benchmark for it's popularity at the height of Conor McGregor's reign as double champion. As much as I dislike the guy as a person he was, at the time, one of, if not the biggest name in sport. He was hugely entertaining outside and inside the octagon. I don't think there has ever been anyone so good at trash talking, with the exception of Ali, and we all lapped it up. The UFC is still very entertaining but not at the level in 2016 and I think thats what we keep comparing it to. I don't think it will ever reach those heights again but it's still one of the most exciting sports to watch.

Good luck for Chandler in his new fight. Time to move on

[@moneymoney3235]

Correction Connor had no run he never defended the title

[@kghd2647]

The UFC has been an awful product for quite some time now anyway

[@Heizzer47]

It’s only gonna improve until Dana steps down

[@BackToWar100]

They have too many fights at apex and not on the rest of the world time.

[@prokosvlogs]

Just have exciting fights not wresting based

[@milesstover3724]

its very hit and miss

[@shaneshanks9702]

Top music in the background ❤😊🎉

[@tankerock]

Why would you want a "star" that can't MMA? He's got good striking, good reflexes, a sharp right hand. But you need the whole package in 2024.

[@jonktrades1454]

So fights for a belt shouldn’t be on a main card?

[@RMILLSMMA]

The UFC is quite careful to make sure that they never again have the Conor problem... Ie a fighter who starts to get as big and important as the UFC itself... Or dare to say it...bigger than Dana. . Who in his own head is the most important star in the organisation! 😅

[@timephire]

Merab was trying to clown Suga but it didn't come off well though. Other than that Merab turn Suga into Chito.

[@Hdb77778]

Ribovic has that dog in him, that was a banger of a fight

[@liamcollett4537]

You're not wrong about expecting champions to put it all on the line for the belt, but maybe that belt isn't worth it? Imagine getting paid what the UFC pays while watching washed up boxers getting ten times that? That would make the belt seem much less worth the risk to me

[@mezmanmerrill7412]

Really, dont get the hate for merab. He fights like a madman and doesn't run out of energy. Spams 15-20 takedowns in 3 round fights. Destroying people's desire to win.

[@EmPe1027PL]

8:30 .. perfect point. It's all about the champion mentality. Look at DDP. Nowhere near as talented as the likes of Izzy or even Rob, but it seems like he is genuinely willing to die in there before he loses his title. Always stays in fights and makes it a nightmare til the end. The UFC currently has a lot of weak champions who no one really, truly cares about.

[@richmindset1259]

Casuals don’t care but real fans do because the champions now fight the fights we actually want to see the previous champions would run from fights

[@richmindset1259]

Merab should of fought Sean long ago but they gave chito a title shot now explain to me how did that make any sense merab was on a 9 winning streak chito lost to sandhagen and got a title shot he lost why didn’t they give sandhagen vs Sean after he won

[@richmindset1259]

Not only that should win the belt and was asking for illia a guy who isn’t in his division merab called him out he tried to dodge him they gave Henry to merab thinking Henry would clear him merab dominant him they couldn’t hide or protect Sean no more and we all saw what real fans knew all along merab dominating Sean

[@robertgronowski6341]

Yes, rough night for dana white. The 135 belt will now stay in the Caucasus mountains: merab and umar for a long time

[@lukaluka5332]

If you are saying it was boring then you are not really a fan of MIXED MARTIAL ARTS!!

Merhab is the legend ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ we want to see Merhab again. Best all times ❤❤❤❤

[@bosshogg-nm6ms]

Sean was a fraud so glad he got exposed his first real test. Love it!!!

[@LewisYates]

It’s like people watch ufc but only like mma and only like kickboxing 😂 the second there’s a wrestling match everyone moans boring

Oh. But they tell you khabib was different they could watch him wrestle

[@robertgronowski6341]

The ufc fight cards are great, the talent is so much greater overall. fighters are guaranteed 3 fights per year!

[@mezmanmerrill7412]

Really, dont get the merab hate. He fights like a madman and never runs out of energy. Tries 15-20 takedown attempts in 3 round fights. Destroying people's will to win. In my top 3 favourite fighters.

[@jamesmobility1746]

They aren’t doing more cards a year than they used to. Just feels that way cause these cards a slog

[@edotball]

the broken toe thing is weird now i think about it how it happened so close to the press conference that the ufc staff had started flying over seems very suspicous maybe it was rehab or hes just not in any fit state to fight or train

[@nadinefardon7884]
