The Real Reason Umar Nurmagomedov Failed Against Merab Dvalishvilli

[@vileface]

Hi guys, russian UFC casual here, regarding Habib advise. The thing is, in russian word борьба (bor'ba) has two main meanings, one of them is fight, and the other is wrestle. In this case, Habib was talking about fighting, something like "you have to fight for every centimeter of the octagon". He didn't advise Umar to wrestle, it was more of a motivational speech Translators just fucked it, like the time they translated Pereira's message to Israel as if he is trash talking him

[@gavinma4831]

yeah i assumed khabib was basically telling him fight for this fucking round cuz we up 2. Then we can win the decision so fight yo ass off

[@MMAChe.]

Good to know, the blame gets entirely put on Umar then for that particular gameplan error

[@Jay77712]

Any chance you heard khabib telling him to teep? If that's the case then Umar just can't handle a gameplane 😂

[@slinergumble3593]

"you gonna wrestle the whole time" is a translator's mistake. Khabib there was talking about fighting hard for every santimeter of octagon, not giving any opportunities for Merab to move forward. like a motivational speech about how the champions made. he was saying to literally "wrestle for it" in russian because it means to FIGHT, like to fight cancer. Translators brain just shortcut it seems because Khabib said it like 5 times, but he didn't mean to shoot takedowns and wrestle Merab

How many times we need to see Merab to perfectly execute a game plan according to his skills until we accept that he is the GOAT of BW.

Also it’s not the fighters looking bad and not following their plan. It’s because Merab does not allow them to execute it. Merab was either out of kicking range or too close to kick.

the translation of Khabib's words was incorrect. Wrestle in russian also means "to fight", "to battle". He just said you gotta fight till the end

[@ILYxIW]

Khabib did screw him with that terrible advice, it almost seemed like they got in an ego battle and couldn’t admit that Merab was the better wrestler. It was like the opposite of when wrestlers decide to brawl instead of sticking to what they’re good at.

[@ILYxIW]

Also to add, it’s not surprising that Khabib can’t give good striking advice to a guy that’s literally a better striker than him.

I think it was because umar legut brike his hand in the firstz thats why he stopped striking

[@MacklinBurtMacklinFBI]

Plus Khabib can’t corner properly, he’s too loud and tense. You need a calm corner and poor Javier had to take a backseat. Javier is calm and understands strategy better. Only reason Islam kicks ass is because he’s Islam.

There is actually mistake in translation, because in Russia "борись" (sounds like Boris with soft ending) can mean both "wrestle" and also it can mean that you have to be a warrior and basically put your 110% in every exchange. So Habib was telling him not to wrestle, but to be a warrior in every exchange and show his best. It's a translators mistake

[@J1283-s1k]

After Umar won a comfortable but pretty uneventful fight with Sandhagen, I was rooting for him but I wasn't sure how he could win against Merab's EPO gas tank. If Yan, who is infinitely more skilled than Merab, got outpaced and drowned for 5 rounds, if O'Malley won 2 rounds, sniped and hurt Merab but still got outpaced and thrown around in rounds 2+4, if Aldo could lose by being held against the cage and kneed on the thigh despite being 16/16 in defending takedowns and landing the significant strikes across all rounds, what could Umar do against that cardio that the rest couldn't?

[@heresthethingyouguys]

The CEO of EPO as they call him

[@gooddeath3816]

As much as I think Merab is on EPO, he hasn't been tested positive, even though he has been tested quite a lot of times in recent years. That being said, if it was that easy to get away with drugs, I'd assume everybody else is also on PEDs. So, just stop the cope. Watch fights in great detail, pay attention to feints and game plan and not just flashy moves. Not everyone fights as beautiful as Ilia or Chama for example to get credited for great skill. Peds alone won't carry u this high unless u r skilled af with great game plan.

True but it also might be cause of Sean just having that sniping skill and power compared to Umar who while being really technical as well in striking doesn’t have that one shot power, fighting Sean is like fighting a really good wrestler, you have to be careful of the KO coming much like how a good wrestler will have the take down threat, Umar is more of a well rounded fighter, kinda feels like a lesser version of Islam (not saying Umar is bad but everyone knows skill for skill Islam is just way better from what we have seen).

I 100% agree, the minute I heard Khabib say wrestle with him I knew it wouldn't work in his favor. Honestly, strength is a big difference as you mentioned & to be honest it seemed that from a technical standpoint, Merab was a little sharper in overall grappling. Whether it was scrambles, defense, or getting back to the feet. However that may have been due to the strength difference.

what an interesting analysis ... not on Merab, but on Khabib early on. He really was shy and kind and full of smiles. He kept the kindness but the shyness went away, and the smiles always fade when you're in the spotlight too long. Umar strarted off the same, but it's true, he does now imitate a little more of the Khabib after. As for Merab, he's a good guy, loyal and giving like Khabib, but he doesn't have that innocence that Khabib had, as was evident in the promos leading up to his fight with Umar.

Khabib never showboated at the expense of his opponents ... Merab couldn't stop with the taunts and making fun of Umar. I'm not saying that's necessarily wrong, if that's the thing a fighter wants to go for ... but it's def. not reflective of an earlier or even a later Khabib. Apart from Connor, Khabib respected his opponents a great deal, especially in the ring.

[@ertjg]

@@kdr3619for the combat part : both khabib and merab have boxing (one punch) and wrestling, they fight with all their heart and aren't afraid to take shots in the head, no fancy nerd striking kicking hitting without getting hit and try to look good (it's a different type of fighting animal we have there, like mcgregor or adesanya, it isn't the summit of combat sport, just like jiu jitsu compared to wrestling, and umar dabs into that kind of energy) for the character part : khabib and merab are different persons but we can clearly see glimpses of merab's soul the rare times he talks about his friends, his dreams, when his shell melts and his tone softens, being a champion is such a huge deal for him that he barely dares to call himself one, while umar yells like he's the most dominant guy in the division, about his superiority on every level (that even khabib denies) just to promote himself as a contender, merab was legit to be mad if you put yourself in his shoes

I think Khabib has been exposed a little bit as not being the most adaptable coach here. He coaches Umar Belal and Islam like they’re the same, it often works but it leads to him not taking advantage of each persons unique skills like Umar’s kicks. Plus, this is probably the first fight in that teams history where they did not have a strength advantage and where wrestling was a bad idea. Makes me a little more curious about how Arman v Islam would’ve gone tbh.

[@salty539]

I mean tbf Islam can do anything. Hell, I could coach Islam

[@divineoverhand5307]

I think Khabib was trying to focus on the mental sides of things more, because he saw Umar constantly getting backed up and he knew that this would only snowball over the later rounds, so he wanted to stop Merab's forward pressure by maybe taking him down or letting him know that he can't just rush in to the space like that, plus wrestling I would assume is easier than striking and constantly backing up when you have a broken hand.

[@VitalFacets]

IF Arman used his grappling to just wear out his opponent and throw strikes as they stand up, I think it could work. But that’s not how he uses it, he tries to establish ground control and TKO or submit them, even though those skills aren’t high level enough to use on Islam.

as a Russian im really impressed your fight review. Sounds very decent knowledge and good person vibes, keep going man, wish you best luck and quality grow you channel you deserve much more viewers😎🤠

[@discoshrew7403]

What’s mad is out of all the mma channels on KZbin. Che is the only one with good takes.

[@pavleni]

Love your videos but another (and more important) reason not to give a f about his hand is that presumably he didnt break his hand in thr jakuzzi....Merab broke his hand during the fight..thats rhe damage done by merab...so how is that an excuse? Its like saying that merab had a cut and missed a punch

[@Tech-Nick-Que]

Most people miss one important detail - Merab is one mountain away from russia and he understands russian enough to know what is coming 2-3 seconds in advance. khabib is micro managing his fighters and screaming what to do. It works vs people who has no clue of russian language. real reason people fail vs merab - they dont give him credit he deserves. not even half of what he deserves. I don't know what else he can do to prove himself. Also, that khabib advice - it not quite an accurate translation. more properly it would be like that - fight, don't give him an inch, fight in every area, dont give him anything.

[@shredkaczynski8414]

I don't think so man the crowd was so loud during the later rounds. Just because a coach is barking commands doesn't mean the fighter will execute them like a robot.

[@jessicam5090]

I definitely want to see Umar vs. Suga Sean. Then, the winner takes on Merab.

[@fatsonic5776]

Told all you suckers Merab FTW Edit: My thinking is plans dont beat merab. Actions do, but merab is the one who does not stop.

[@jorgeelchef1173]

Because of your breakdown I was spending the entire fight yelling at the TV at 6AM for Umar to throw body teeps and stop shooting takedowns 😭

[@Samson_992]

Umar did what he was supposed to do that’s why he did well in the first 2 rounds, Merab is just too good 🤷‍♂️

[@xxxag1768]

I rewatched the fight like 10 times after. Jiri pull cross particularly from southpaw was the bread and butter for his W on Hill. Whether hill was southpaw or ortho he could not read that dip into cross. That small delay in the left hand from the dip I think throws off the rhythm and Hill ate nearly all of them lol

[@marcopolo4319]

i mean breaking your hand is not an excuse it means you broke it yourself and your opponent was better than you

[@davidstrangelove2493]

How Umar was winning 5th round mate? You know what- I’m not gonna listen your bs anymore 😂. Good luck with the channel.

[@mdfurkankhan6897]

8:26 khabib told him to wrestle coz umar broke his carpel

[@loudandproud9070]

0:39 boxing clinic against a guy without defense is crazy lol

[@HungTran-dv5me]

Its a fight,broken anything can/ will happen,but u cant blame broken wateva to lose a fight...The best man to stay fit and avoid injuries during a fight will win.

[@zurabkhutsishvili8754]

starting the fight I was afraid umar not to start spamming those nasty toe kicks. I agree with you his mistake was that he thougt he could knock out merab but no one could.

[@BlGBREAKFAST]

Jiri was in the matrix when fighting hill. The head movement was insane

[@mikeybanks4431]

3:44 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I spit out my drink

[@homophopicsapiens9926]

the only problem in umar was that, fighting merabs is like a war, not a sport, and umar was not prepared for that

[@vampirebob4647]

when ever someone breaks there hand its always in round one... 🤔

[@mohammeda3025]

6:35 do you think merab didn’t learn how to defend a teep kick? Game plan will not be build over an assumption

[@fizievfan]

Gameplans are built off the opponent’s weaknesses🤦

[@mohammeda3025]

@ it is not a weakness ,Merab just didn’t know how to defend a teep back then ,do you think Merab just had a training camp for 6 weeks without knowing that he has to learn how to defend a teep , because maybe umar is gonna teep him

[@DJ-dh3oe]

@@mohammeda3025 exactly, would be dumb if Merab hadn't prepared for a teep, after almost getting finished by it and now facing a guy with great kicks. I think Umar could have used it more than he did but it wasn't going to win the fight for him alone

[@mohammeda3025]

@@DJ-dh3oe I agree
