Hitler was born in Austria, Napoleon was Italian, Catherine the great was German and none of these matters, because ultimately Stalin was a Russian politician, creating an empire for Russians.

The same way they enabled the dictatorship of current tyrant called Vlad. So, stop pointing fingers, Igor!

America, you mean USA? is the worst first world country to work as immigrant, most of friends and family that I know there, they have been working for 10 years, paying taxes, doing everything right, but they are not able to get the green card. USA wants cheap unregulated labor and that is why it is convenient for you to have so many irregularities in migrants and not recognize their labor rights 🤷‍♂

I’m so glad Merab beat that douchebag O’Malley . I lost respect for O’Malley when he belittled his girl by encouraging an open relationship. And all the weed stuff . He’s just not a good role model for kids or respecting the gifts God gave him . But he will learn his lessons , everyone does with time . Also , having Merab on definitely helps the show (which helps spread awareness about Israel’s control of the U.S. government and the genocide that they are committing in Palestine). GO JAKE ! Praying for you every day ! Love you Brother.

I understand why nobody (including Merab and Sean) want to fight Umar. Umar has no holes in his game. Top in kicking,striking,grappling and wrestling. In order to beat him you need to be better in this areas and there is absolutely nobody who is better from a holistic perspective.

[@cybermoose602]

Keep talking. Ya'll think he's Khabib levels of good at this early in his career. Khabib was polished because he went through absolute slaughterhouse in the division. Umar has to fight more to hone those skills and getting the title shot right now will expose many weak holes that he has. Merab's the man to do it and you'll see it very soon.

All the people that are talking umar, umar, umar, I doubt they have even watched 2 or 3 of his fights.

@@cybermoose602 Merab has great condition and very good wrestling. His striking is also good but he has weak bjj skills. He could take and hold Sean down but failed to do big damage to him. Morevoer Sean was never in danger to get submitted and could stand up. Umar his striking and especially kicking is on another level. I just don‘t see Merab controlling him on the ground nor beating him in striking.

[@cybermoose602]

​@@redghost1567 hell nah, they just watched the Cory fight and now they riding his dick because he has Nurmagomedov as his last name. Merab will do baaaaad things to that guy, just mark my words.

[@redghost1567]

@@mountain102 first of all Sean was in a lot of danger of submission vs Merab, only thing Merab had to do was go for the submission, but going for submission takes a lot of energy and effort. Submission is not in Merabs game plan that is the reason you don’t see Merab getting submission. His game plan is win by decision. When Merab gets umar to the cage and gets him to the floor and starts the knees to the thigh his legs will get tired and hurt lot more one sided of a strategy then leg on leg kicks.
