If aljo didn't move up to 145 he can take on Umar. You see, with aljamain gone, there's no more top contenders in that division, same thing when aljo was champ, what was Merab supposed to do. Now aljo is at 145, Umar can't fight him for number one contender, but there is Deivieson Figuereido from 125, the real fighter whom Umar has to beat cos Figgy is also climbing rankings like Umar, so the two of them should fight.

[@ahamedm.h.a9205]

@@victorhugo5207 that’s a stupid thing to do which will put the division on hault. Umar and deveison both are future potential title contender and if they fight each other who’s gonna merab defend his title against in the mean time? And between umar and deiveson one will lose and will be thrown out of title contention and will have to work again. Which will make lesser contender for the title. Umar had earned his shot. So merab should fight umar and in the meantime deiveson should fight Yan or sandhagen for a title eliminator fight which will keep the division moving.

[@truefitness118]

Bro couldn't handle the aura of the belt

[@Pitbullcritics]

I havent seen the complete fight yet, and I dont know what things happened in this fight, but I did predict this and My admiraition for Suga has even grown, cause I didnt think he would make it to the end of the fight against, a guy with such stamnia, cardio , Wrestling skills, AND striking skills. "The machine"is the perfect name for Someone that keeps coming forward, No matter what. After the fight with Petr Yan I began to look up every fight this kid has fought and, just like Kabhib, Magachev ând a few others, with a lot of them having Combat Sambo background, they seem to have the upperhand in stamnia, determination and sometimes also skills. But its especially the pace that they keep bringing for all rounds. Ît takes a very specific gaméplán and eliite precision striking, timing, speed as well a takedown defence. To have a change to win. It would take at least a prime Ferguson of prime Conor, and with Prime I mean the Eddy Alvares fighting Conor, anyway before he good swim in 1000 dollar bills and got spoiled🎉 by whiskey and cocaïne. Í feel for Suga tho. Having defended his belt only twice, Still I think that, with the right adjustments and work on his cardio , he could be the one to beat the machine. By becoming a machine himself, just with a different skillset.

History has proven that time and time again in the UFC and overall in MMA that wrestlers always prevail.
