We gonna get BrathA for the next 6 weeks 24/7 day and night until ufc 311 😂 I think the ufc should do a umar vs merab face off arround a table like they do in boxing like usyk vs tyson and others.... They can bring their coaches if they want too.... It has the potential to be very explosive with how emotionally unhinged merab is arround umar,
umar - " nobody is interested in fighters you already beat.... only one person who can beat you is me... Shut up and fight" 🥶 that was the coldest line of the press. He has that matter of fact attitude and why if speaking khabib always had,
It is like when khabib and Tony were trash talking each other and khabib made more sense even tho he was born in an English speaking country. One reporter asked Tony why he brought up a baseball at the press conference and Tony responses was "it's in case they run" lol, and everyone at the press wondered tony was talking about who and how is a baseball going to stop someone from running away?
@@67legends75 he's mad that he had to beat literally everyone to get a title shot but umar is jumping the queue and has only beaten one top 10 fighter
Both had their good points: >Umar was correct in pointing out how Merab refused to mention his name in the post fight interviews of Omalley fight even after being asked about it. And nobody wants to see rematches with Yan and Omalley when they clearly displayed little resistance to the wrestling dominance, over a fresh new matchup of Umar coming from a team known for their wreslting training. >Merab was right about Umar being privileged for marketing purposes, and gifted a quick route to the title shot just like Omalley was, by just fighting one top contender and thats it, unlike so many other contenders that had to beat 2 or 3 top 10 fighters to get a title shot. If Umar's name was Mike Hawk from Memphis instead of Numagomedov it would be different.
Dustin Poirier has jiu-jitsu black belt. Also Charles Oliveira's grappling and jiu-jitsu level is high. But Islam submited them. No one can submit Islam. Boxer Poirier and former P4P king Volkanovski couldn't knock Islam out. Makhachev will defeat Arman and Topuria. Islam will be UFC welterweight champion and will retire as double champion. Mark my words 100%
I just knew that Islam and Arman were gonna smile in the face of. Just the 2 best lightweights in the world respectfully agreeing to a fight to settle who is the best. This is what this sport is about.
Islam's fights generate more traffic and views for the ufc than any champion currently in the ufc. He has the most insta followers out of all active fighters in ufc as well... With khamzat being in 2nd place and jones at 3rd.... Even alex pereira who everyone loves only got half of jones followers and views he generates... Showing to us how being loved doesn't necessarily means you are the biggest star. -plus Islam generates the most views on ufc countdowns and embedded, press conferences and interviews, jon jones is 2nd... And those numbers are easy to verify. The reason millions of people are intrested in Islam whether they love him or hate him is because : 1-he is the current greatest active fighter in the world ... 2-his fights are always exiting and against intresting opponents. 3- he won many super fights and beat many big stars in spectacular fashion . 4- he is funny. 5-he was always attached to khabib and khabib is the most notorious ufc fighter on earth with mcdiddy and so a huge portion of khabib's fans are loyal to Islam especially the Muslim fan base.
At first, I felt bad for Merab, but now that Umar called him out, and asked what he did personally to him, and Merab couldn't answer except saying, "I don't want to promote you" which is very weak.
How can someone genuinely hate Islam tho. Dude is so genuine, humble, respectful, never complained, fights every contender. The difference between the two champions on this presser is crazy. It looks like Merab was just trying to sell the fight but still..
You guys can’t be that stupid. Merab is probably the last person on the ufc roster to fake some shit to try to sell the fight. His reaction is genuine and has been consistent literally anytime umar’s name is even mentioned around him since the moment he won the belt
Mad respect for Islam. First he defends Merab by saying respect the champ, afterwards when merab tries to be sneaky with the jacuzzi comment he sets it straight for him
I love that Arman said: "Yeah maybe in the press conference, but not in the fight" when the reporters asked merab and umar that stealing the spotlight lmao

Umar had a point, his only criticism was competitive-wise not personal and the proof of Merab ducking was when he avoided talking about Umar in the post-fight interview
@gratesagag4948 Cuz Merab knows it's ultimately up to the UFC, but HE portrayed it ONLY wanting people he's already beaten, so their interests don't align but Merab has no choice
@@gratesagag4948 because if youve been watching for the past few months, Merab has given us the impression that hes been forced/pressured to do the fight. He himself would rather rematch someone he knows he can beat (like petr yan) instead of fighting someone who can really make this a 50/50 fight. Umar "won" this presser without a doubt. bad look for Merab
@fgc1850 Yet nobody had that same energy with O'Malley when he got fast-tracked to the title, especially after a controversial fight with Yan. Umar on the other hand, had nobody willing to fight him, and then 50-45s the #2 guy and suddenly its undeserved?
Islam is setting there proudly whispering to himself “ I have the best English amongst them all” 😁😁😁 and Umar genuinely has no idea why Merab hates him so much 😂😂😂😂 this is gonna be the best card ever
@@wildberry752Does Merab have only Georgians at his gym 😂 Guess that’s what happens when you hang out too much with Sterling. You pick up hood English.
Merab knows exactly how much value Dagestanis place on respect, and he tries to exploit this with his sneaky tactics. He better get ready for the fight because, at this level, the anxiety he’s experiencing is not good for his performance. Leave the trash talk behind and focus on training-that’s all.
@gearbraniac if you think dagestanis made peace with russia then you have no idea bow kaukasians think. And i wasnt talking with you im talking with him. Merab trying to exploit ? 😂 ridicoulous bs
@@Emreoguzboyu1882 if you so then you know georgians and dagestanks have same mentality so stf up no one is exploiting anything. Merab is clearly talking from his heart
Umar is right, he didn’t get personal with Merab ever during the build-up. All he said was that he was frustrated all good fighters ducking him. He has a 6 win streak in the UFC. Merab also has worked his ass to make his way up. If he’s so good he shouldn’t have any problem just running over Umar. However, his temperament shows that he’s worried that the belt is going.
"something something Coward"- Georgian Proverb. if conor or anyone said "something something Coward" -Dagestani Proverb they would cry "why you talk personal about my country!???" also the countless times he and his khabib crew threatening him about jumping him in person in the street.

Umar is 18-0 in second most stacked division thats pretty active and consistent 😂
Cory has beaten Rob, Vera, Song Yadong Moraes all opponents in top 5 he has only lost to other best of the best Dillashaw and Yan.
Sandhagen was on his way to get a title shot you know considering he was no 2 😂
@@miniligamer5944 dustin-justin went different the 2nd time so rematches are definitely worth watching
@@RiloXRi If Umar wins, whats does that mean?
Umar is just like khabib he’s so confident I think he already got the w 🎉
Merab calling Umar not a man because he talked trash online, is the most hypocritical shit I have ever heard.
Merab was almost the most active online trolling and hating on others to earn his shot to the title.
He has backed it up until now tho
Umar hasn't? @@friend7681
He only made fun of Yan and O'Malley but they definitely deserved that.
@@FreshPrincce cejudo too
Best wishes for the Dagestanis Umar, Islam and Tagir
Umar sound just like khabib
This press was giving me khabib 2016 vibes I swear 😂
He doesn’t but okay
@@FurioAlvesyes he does
Yes he aura same like Khabib
Hope he fights and wins like Islam
Umar the young Eagle ❤
Shout out South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 love Islam, his confidence and smile.. Cool as a cucumber... Umar just beastly awaiting the belt... Can't wait for ufc to come to South Africa 🇿🇦 🇿🇦 ♥️ 🙏
i used to hate dagestanis but they’re the best things to happen to the ufc they are entertaining and skillful while having mic skills with broken english
Same here!
Silly how we hated them
and their fanbase are the best, most wholesome nicest and respectful non-family-threatening fans ever...right ? am i right?
@@streetplaya23ur in the comments hating on them constantly , your the fans ur describing . Look in the mirror and reflect .
@@shawn1000fulwell said
Makachev cutting in when Merab was talking and warning him with his calm and cold voice was straight up bone chilling 🥶🥶
No it wasn't lol. Bone chilling. Stupid haha
@@xxvenomdude, it is. even merab is shocked lol
time stamp?
Right Even Merab respects Islam.😌
yep, checked Merab there for sure...
Merab looks shook by Umar, he could not even look at Umar in the face-off.
Merab looked exactly how he looked against Cejudo and O'Malley at faceoffs, we all know how that went
Merab is just not comfortable doing publicity stuff and speaking English
@@MidwestDIYwhat are you on about Merab was yelling in the face of Cejudo and was looking at and talking to Sean at face offs.
@@Kawacatoosewhat?
@@MidwestDIY He INFACT did not look how he looked in the face-offs with Cejudo or O'Malley, he looked staright at those guys with eye contact, he couldn't even look at Umar for 2 seconds dude, thats not the samme energy
This is the best press conference I've watched in years 😂
I love respect from Islam and Arman! Good job guys
why? if everybody would be respectfull there would be noone watching
@@ThonieBIt’s one of those fights where there is no need to disrespect both are top fighters
They are both from Russia bratha. They have many same friends! Nobody can hide, like maybe Merab can hide.
I hate fans like you.... "Let the talking happen in the cage".... Please, we want entertainment.
@@geoko8066arman is not russian he is armenian
Merab was lowkey nervous and scared , he was literally sweating lol
Nervous yeah i dont think he is scared he seem more angry than anything
@@Mugen-c5hit’s not anger it’s the pressure he’s feeling
@@Mugen-c5hhe is scared and that’s something everyone says because Umar said to him many times come 1 vs 1 and he kept avoiding it and kept running away like a chicken
@@Kawacatoose the excuses can up all they want but umar beat Cory for the 2nd spot on bantamweight and that means he’s next in line
I don’t think he’s scared of Umar
Mehrab has already mentally lost that belt 😂
He wanted a defense or two but his boogeyman is knocking at the door sooner than he thought
@@tony_dogs I mean I understand him. After years of grind and beating everyone he finally got the belt after 10 fights. And he started to make real money with ppv bonus. He wanted to make 1-2 more before fighting Umar. It's kinda sad 😂
Well Umar had easiest road to title
@@tony_dogsBoogie man? He couldn’t even hold Sandhagen down.
Its like that iconic lines from kenshiro "you're already dead" and merab's instinct and subconsious knows it.
Merab would have fought for the title earlier if he hadn't lost his first 2 ufc fights and he didn't want to fight aljo which I understand but those things played a factor
Man, out of all the press conferences this was the most respectful trash talk I've ever seen!
Why Islam is so gentle, Respectful, genuine and killer at same time
Umar vs Merab: The Battle of Broken English 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That literally was like two 5 year olds arguing.. lol
merab nervou, umar look confident
umar english is better than makhachev
@@ThonieB well, not LITERALLY
Umar looks calm & composed. Merab looks rattled.
Umar : Calm down, calm down Mehrab.
Damn Merab looks legit hurt, Umar gained aura here
Umar gets no aura off beating 1 ranked contender and weasel into a title shot
@@BarakaUglyyAhhWill he get aura when he dominates against merab and becomes champ ?
@@ohno774 Troll)He will lose)
@@ohno774 Merab’s EPO reserves will be too much for unibrowmar and his Dracula hairline, he won’t be able to keep up with the endless takedown attempts
@@BarakaUglyyAhh I will visit this comment in a month,good luck to merab and his short lived time as champ.
Umar had a point, his only criticism was competitive-wise not personal and the proof of Merab ducking was when he avoided talking about Umar in the post-fight interview
He just won belt and said who ever ufc picks. And now we're here how is that ducking.
@gratesagag4948 Cuz Merab knows it's ultimately up to the UFC, but HE portrayed it ONLY wanting people he's already beaten, so their interests don't align but Merab has no choice
@@gratesagag4948 because if youve been watching for the past few months, Merab has given us the impression that hes been forced/pressured to do the fight. He himself would rather rematch someone he knows he can beat (like petr yan) instead of fighting someone who can really make this a 50/50 fight.
Umar "won" this presser without a doubt. bad look for Merab
The real evidence is in the resume. Merab said on record many times he will fight umar but he needs to earn it, merab is getting disrespected
@fgc1850 Yet nobody had that same energy with O'Malley when he got fast-tracked to the title, especially after a controversial fight with Yan. Umar on the other hand, had nobody willing to fight him, and then 50-45s the #2 guy and suddenly its undeserved?
Islam is setting there proudly whispering to himself “ I have the best English amongst them all” 😁😁😁 and Umar genuinely has no idea why Merab hates him so much 😂😂😂😂 this is gonna be the best card ever
🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
Arman also has a good english
Merab: jacuzzi
Beta umar: i wasn't there
Chad islam: come join 😎😎
Even after this press conference neither do I know nor Umar knows why Merab hates him😂
Merab was giving off Tony Ferguson energy
Merab don't want to loose his title that's why. He keep want to fight fighters he already defeated.
It's over some gift 🎁 Umar received. 😂😂😂
@@Swerevwhat gift ?))
Because Umar disrespected him on twitter multiple times
How tf is Umars english cleaner than Merabs who supposed to be a US citizen and resident
MeRAT is stupid so it takes longer time for him to learn
Because Javier Mendez helped him learn english faster
@@wildberry752Does Merab have only Georgians at his gym 😂 Guess that’s what happens when you hang out too much with Sterling. You pick up hood English.
@@wildberry752merab lives in USA , I think Javier won't be better teacher than living in an English spoken country.
Unibrow RATmar got gifted an undeserved title shot for beating 1 ranked opponent and for his last name
“Thank you for gift Dana” umar is hilarious 😂
"You didn't beat me. That's why I'm here"
Case closed lol
Islam is a great champion. As fans we have to appreciate what he’s been able to do. His growth on the mic as well is great to see.
So stupid no to invest in learning solid English. So much money to make.
@@goldenemitte2245Yh Mackachev made the exact same point in his press conference with Olivera 😂.
I love these Dagestani boys man, real legends with honor.
Merab - you dont deserve 🦆 8:53
Islam - If fans want then I give him chance 23:34
Champions should not be ducking. umar is a big name the fans want it and ufc wants it. I think he's just scared honestly.
Islam is low key the best champ right now, never ducks, entertaining fights and mostly finishes fights.
this would make sense but he is fighting in january after 4 months just because fans want it lol
@@Steve-dx4ci ufc would much rather have suga sean as champion.
You are comparing Charles Oliveiras legacy to Umars?
You don't beat me . that's why I am here....so straight forward !!
Merab knows exactly how much value Dagestanis place on respect, and he tries to exploit this with his sneaky tactics. He better get ready for the fight because, at this level, the anxiety he’s experiencing is not good for his performance. Leave the trash talk behind and focus on training-that’s all.
Dude pls stf. Exploit this any that who and wtf do you know what dagestanks and georgians do
@@niconicoo5661 I mean both had war with Russia but one made peace and other are still fighting and yes Dagestan value respect
@@niconicoo5661 Nico I am an Avar who lives in Turkey, I know so many things because it is my culture:)
@gearbraniac if you think dagestanis made peace with russia then you have no idea bow kaukasians think.
And i wasnt talking with you im talking with him. Merab trying to exploit ? 😂 ridicoulous bs
@@Emreoguzboyu1882 if you so then you know georgians and dagestanks have same mentality so stf up no one is exploiting anything. Merab is clearly talking from his heart
Merab looks afraid 😂
He looks like he wanted petr yan more and I understand why
@@Swaybjj😂😂😂yeah cause he already knows he can beat yan
@ bro that would be a more entertaining fight💀💀
He looks stoic

Dude is pathetic,Trying to make Muslim fighters stronger and braver.
Am currios abt that question to dana abt the best p4p number one fighter
@@josephmwesigye3746 😂
When islam say Respect champ
Big respect 👏🏽
Umar is right, he didn’t get personal with Merab ever during the build-up. All he said was that he was frustrated all good fighters ducking him. He has a 6 win streak in the UFC. Merab also has worked his ass to make his way up. If he’s so good he shouldn’t have any problem just running over Umar. However, his temperament shows that he’s worried that the belt is going.
"something something Coward"- Georgian Proverb.
if conor or anyone said "something something Coward" -Dagestani Proverb they would cry "why you talk personal about my country!???"
also the countless times he and his khabib crew threatening him about jumping him in person in the street.
BUT we dont know if its really umar or Ali abdelaziz using umar twitter lol
@@streetplaya23has to be Ali 😂🤣
I am a huge Dagestani fanboy but that line "about jacuzzi" from Merab was absolutely atrocious and hilarious 😂😂😂
Yeah me too haha. Idc what's funny is funny.
Merab being frustrated about disrespect. Then comment "how about jacuzzi?" Between umar and islam, what a hypocrite
I agree but that shit was funny😅
almost as if he got disrespected first then said that...
Thats not disrespect thats joking are you guys for serious .😂😂😂😂😂😂
He got shook when Islam got involved
@@luffypirateking1068 realy you realy think he was like omg islam is speaking omg.
Are you children or are you guys realy that dull
I see a lot of Khabib in Umar. Getting legitimate flashbacks.
He’s a way better fighter than khabib tho
@@MustObeyTheRulesel mismo khabib lo dijo.
@MustObeyTheRules ya'll started underestimating khabib after he retired smh
Umar sounds like Khabib on helium
Umar had some NASTY comebacks in this press conference💀.
Can’t wait for an animation from Mojahed about this press conference.
Yeah there are guys waiting mojahed like me happy😂
Merab scared 😂
He tried to avoid Umar like so many times and now after he have to fight Umar he is crying 🤣
@@irakerboy3714 same way Islams avoiding ilia
Everyone is at 135. Umar is no joke.
@@jakelongstaff4102 they funny part is Islam had to fight this fight he didn’t want but you know get paid good and he is winning for sure like 100% sure win so why he shouldn’t take it ? And ilia ain’t something important for him
@@jakelongstaff4102 I think he have to fight it but not sure, he want to retire like Khabib I guess. Good record and good future. 👍
Merab looks depressed 😭😭
LM😢
He's mad because he won't get to enjoy his title reign lol
he is mad because he can not defend his title once
Well he had to actually fight for his belt, now he defends against a dude with a very weak resume 4 months after winning the belt, disrespected by ufc
@@fgc1850 He was ready to fight o mailly before umar and before jaunuary , so how can you say just 4 months...😂
And umar was finalized as a challenger even before merab and omailly fight....😂
I love how Dana let them go back and forth without interrupting! Great press conference
