What’s your opinion of merab’s control without damage style? And the takedowns where the opponent gets up quickly? I understand what he’s doing is impressive, but it also seems to me like a “point fighting” style. It’s hard to say “dominate” when he’s mostly (but not always) content with control. I understand it’s a sport, and there is a scoring system, but from an entertainment standpoint, I feel conflicted about his performances.

When you get to the highest level against opponents who have the means to game plan for you and nullify your strengths, who have the durability and grit to win multiple fights at the highest level in a row, it's hard, especially for someone with a grappling-heavy approach, for positional dominance to translate into one-sided beat downs. This wasn't Kamaru Usman terrified of letting his hands go against a gassed, washed Damien Maia, opting to coast to a decision win.

Christopher Kowalchuk

I want these guys to point at the floor and slug it out until there's a KO. lol.

Christopher Kowalchuk

Yeah, I can see how Merab, as amazing as his grappling is, can't really "violently" dominate either when his recent opponents are very good at grappling as well.

Mike Waskom

Seems clear he can thump but PREFERS to "stall" after he secures points. Insane work rate, wish he had more of a killer finishing instinct.

By the way slacky, the rumour that Alex had a broken left hand and norovirus was a joke started by some blue check slop account on Twitter, Joe rogan saw it and told the world😭

Alex has said himself he was compromised coming into the first fight but the specifics that were levied across the mma media landscape was actually just some cope tweet 😭

Picture is hilarious

Christopher Kowalchuk

Yeah. I think the only fight of his I have ever watched on replay is the Moraes fight. Other than that I think he doesn't really go for the kill, and . . . that's okay! It's just a style that's not for me. And I appreciate good grappling, but . . . his style is just a turn off. For example, watching Gamrot vs. Tsarukyan was an awesome display of grappling!

Rik Thomassen

If he tried to be a thumper he would be mediocre and washed by now?

Khalil also had Wretch 32 in his camp for...........reasons

I had some non-MMA-fan friends over for this event and they all put random bets on the fights, including one on Treston Vines. Seeing their reactions when the fucking Beverley Hills Cop walked out to face Ateba "The Unit" Gautier was priceless.

Heartlessmon

Yeah but this also is a fight. Control is great but there should be much less leniency for stalling.

I think what rubs me and others the wrong way is that, in general, Merab doesn’t seem to be looking to deal damage or get a submission. Kind of reminds me of the general complaints about Belal as well. Impressive, without a doubt, but mostly about control.
