I thought u have to lose to the champ

[@jescollo]

I can’t believe he actually bought that jacket

[@ron.hertzberg]

Merab gave it to him

[@motivatedmcgregor]

Aljo's eked out a couple of close wins against Yan and Cejudo and doesn't get the recognition he deserves because of it - but it's important to remember these were against two former champions and top 10 of all time bantamweights. It's time he gets the respect he deserves.

The fun thing merab dvalishvili is geting skip 😂 Dame he should it be next

[@legitwhitebelt8353]

Volunteered to be gatekeeper (and poorer)

[@zlappaahhoe9two570]

It dont surprise me after that Peter yan fight he still got the score wrong lol

[@matthewcharboneau733]

Merab vs Henry or max vs Henry

[@user-wz4or4jn2f]

Easy money for Aljo.. Aljo takes him down and finishes him. Ground game is the key

[@joehisel5966]

Seeing him with his jacket on after handing it to Merab tells me the whole cage incident with Aljo was planned.

[@Foreverspooky]

Those that don’t know, the jacket is a homage to Michael Jackson’s thriller night

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

Sean really got insecure over a guy smaller than him wearing his jacket...

[@cloudmamba5416]

you really care that much

[@PublicEnemyMinusOne]

@@cloudmamba5416 Not as much as Sean apparently...

[@DeanBKK]

This "small guy" Merab would ragdoll O'Malley any day of the week.

[@cloudmamba5416]

@@DeanBKK maybe he would sniff his crotch but he couldn't keep yan down omalley is better than alot of people think

Merab smokes Sean and Henry. His output is insane
