Merab Dvalishvili

Speaking of 35, I think we just saw the best title fight for 135 maybe.

Trilogy for sure with Jan and Merab.

What a fucking fight, bro.

That was awesome.

I mean, Mario Bautista's four in the meta rankings right now.

Yeah, I mean, like, you do Sean O'Malley and then, yeah, Merab Umar rematch sounds good.

Gotta do Merab Umar.

Yeah, I guess Song versus Bautista makes sense.

At first thought, it was kind of like knee-jerk.

I think with that fight, I looked at two things.

I knew that Merab actually took a year off.

He had a camp because that guy fought four times in the span of a calendar year, cutting weight, fighting, cutting, no recovery time.

He took a year off to get right.

Actually, you know, bantamweight...

For the media, I don't know if they're going to have Sean pass Merab.

I don't know.

I wouldn't make sense, but I also see them doing it, so we'll have to see.

You know? DC's great in his own lane.

Brujo says, also, Yadong is coming off a loss to Sean, a KO to Umar, and a sub over Figge, and Sean is coming off two losses to Merab.

A decision over Yadong and a KO over Zabib.

Can't see where Sean's better resume.

And that style is really, really hard to keep up for five rounds.

Unless you're an absolute cardio freak like Merab or Colby Covington or something like that.

Yeah, exactly.

And then, of course...

Have them fight.

What about do you think Merab should consider going up to 45, right? Like, we know he's got a tough weight cut, and now you're in a division where I think, like, if there was a rematch, if for some reason they put this thing together for a fourth time, like, I'm picking Jan all day, right? Like, I think we've seen it, right? So, like, do you think there's a reason for him to maybe go to 45? We know he's got a tough weight cut and all that.

Maybe there's fresh life there.

There is.

You kind of knew they were always going to cross paths again, right? So now that, like, when it matters, especially if he beats Al Jermaine, obviously, you know, I'll be homering for Al Jermaine, of course, but if he does, man, that would be a huge win for him, and that would be cool to have that rematch with them both at the top of the division.

We got to get him on next weekend.

He put up this long 10-minute thing about how he thought Merab won, and basically the fourth round, I think it was the fourth round he was saying, should have been a...

Should have been like a full...
