Yes I rewatched the kissing incident and you are all right! The round wasn’t over!!! Madness!!!! Merab is crazy to have let go!!! lol 😂. He’s a wild man! I don’t blame O”Malley for getting up and punching him!
With all due respect, Coach, I think the ref did the right thing by not warning O'Malley for punching Merab after being kissed, because there were still a couple of seconds left in that round.
O'Malley punched Merab in the back of the head while his back was turned because Herb had stopped the action. That is an illegal strike no matter how you slice it. Lucky for O'Malley that Herb was in the bag for him, and over ref'd in his favor the entire time.
Pantoja, Umar, Merab, Islam, Usman Nurmagomedov, Arman, Belal, Kamaru Usman, Khamzat, Ankalaev even Bo Nickal all of them grappers. Ilia’s background is actually wrestling. Volk and DDP did wrestling from age 12. Shavkat did Combat sambo which has a lot of grappling. Tom aspinall has most of his origins in Catch wrestling and BJJ. Grappling is taking over and I love it.

Aldo was a former soccer player. It is the best sport for instinctual takedown defense. As a soccer player, I ran backwards, forwards, dribbled, shot. That’s being on one leg alot and balancing in different situations. And when I went to grappling, I found that my legs and hips were more intelligent than most in balancing and adjusting.
Merab is not nuts. Tim Welsh has been trying to get under his skin for months at that point and admitted to doing so Imagine another fighters coach yelling at you, particularly telling you what to do so you cant even hear your own coach Very petty of Tim
@@Hlbkomer It's an organized sport with rules. Coaches should stay out of it. Tim Welch is a cornball try hard that needs to sit down. But, he got humbled like he had coming, so it's all good.
@@youngornitier it was herbs fault - when you separate fighters or break the action you need to allow a full reset. he should have been keeping omalley back until merab was facing him.
@@chrishayes5755 he did not separate them, that's the problem. He just said stop kissing him, no different than saying stop grabbing the fence or whatever--that's merab's fault for just getting up and walking away. If the ref warns watch your fingers or stop grabbing the fence without separating the fighters, that's nothing but a warning and doesn't mean get up and walk away. If herb wanted to separate the action, he would have stepped completely between them and put his hand on merab to move back. And why would a ref stand up a fighter in a dominant position just because of kisses?
It was Merab's stand-up that made a difference to the fight. The wrestling would be useless without being able to get to O Smaller without getting KOd.
You're crazy. Time limit or no, O'Malley isn't getting up and eventually will succumb to strikes. O'Malley's ground game is probably synonymous to style bender.. and it's not enough.
Think your take about Omalley winning a no limit fight is delusional. If there are no time limits, Merab will not be taken off Omalley from the fence. Omalley would not be able to talk after 15 straight minutes
The kissing thing was unacceptable in my eyes. People are downplaying it. Kissing someone without their consent is sexual assault. That simple. That act should have had a point taken, or been a straight up disqualification and have consequences post-fight. You can’t do that shit. I’ve never seen something like that in a fight before. I remember there was a guy who kissed him opponent right before the fight began. His opponent got pissed, punched him and knocked him out cold. That dude absolutely deserved it. I can’t remember what happened to either of them after that, but you can’t be doing that shit.
To be fair O’Malley taking legal action about that would probably affect his brand. And then what merab gets in trouble and O’Malley has to fight Omar for the belt
Not sure if Henry Cejudo actually had inside information, but his comments about Sean O’Malley struggling to get off his back in training camp definitely seem to be true. Merab never gave O’Malley the looks he needed to get the counter off. Perfect game-plan.
Belal and Merab have 4 combined UFC Finishes. Fans are already sick of that "style". Another dubious example is Aljo's last fight where he had 11+ minutes of control time and threw 30 strikes and attempted zero passes, etc. The three of these current and former UFC Champions have 8 finishes combined across 42 UFC victories. They all need to take a page from Islam and Olivera's book and hunt finishes *WHILE* using dominant wrestling/grappling. Fans don't mind grapple heavy fighters who look for the finish.
I think Shara Magomedov's elbows in his guard against Bruno Silva should be taught to everyone that want to stay up. Sharp elbows from the guard litteraly stopped that bjj guy to even want to go on the ground. Forehead was all opened.
Tim welch said on his new podcast that they didn't do much wrestling training in the past 6 months (I don't remember if it's 6 or something else) due to his hip labrum tear and it definitely seems like it
I disagree with anyone who says Merab was at fault for the inactivity in the fight. If there was no time limit Omalley would NOT WIN, he would eventually get finished by Merab. Merab was going for the belt, he didnt need the finish when he was already winning by rules, but if there was no time limit Sean would NEVER have got the finish in this fight. Ever. Lol. Sooner or later Merab would have finished him 1000%. You say no time limit, then Sean would have begged to be finished far before Merab was gassed - his own coach was telling him "its almost over, just hang on". Not - "its almost over finish him!" Cmon dude - i usually like your breakdowns but you are wrong thinking Omalley would ever get a finish in this fight. Ever. No chance at all. Umar vs Merab and Omalley vs Sandhagen - that we agree. Where I disagree is that it wasn't Merab who was at fault for inactivity,for example, in 5th round - it was Omalley who was doing basically nothing besides those few teeps. Its not like Merab was straight up running away, if Sean had bothered to close distance he could have done so, but he was so done he didnt even bother. What can Merab be expected to do against a dangerous counterpuncher in the 5th round of a title fight that he is winning dominantly besides protecting himself by facing the opponent, faking and creating angles while managing distance? Sean is standing there praying Merab makes a mistake instead of ATTACKING him, so how is that Merab's fault? Asking Merab to dive in when he already won is not reasonable, the ONUS should be on Sean to try do something before he loses. I agree that I dont blame Herb Dean for doing his job, but on same token you cant blame Merab for doing HIS JOB when his dream title is minutes/seconds away. Sean should have been DOING SOMETHING to try go for broke and get a KO. He didn't and just stood there hoping to get lucky, so Merab shrugged and danced the polka around him smiling in gratitude. Herb Dean can and should call for action, but he cant FORCE them to engage besides calling for action, nor can he really do much to ENFORCE this... Not like he stood them up at a critical moment. Herb did in some commentator's views essentially encourage Merab to risk his win, but I don't really agree, since it is something he had no way to enforce anyway (unlike when they are on the ground), so he can hardly be blamed just for calling for action. Glad Merab was smart enough to not become reckless as a result, but I could see some fighters feel obliged to do so. To conclude, IMHO Merab and Herb both did their respective jobs well, no qualms. Sean is the one who didnt do his job, and thats why he lost.
*Well yeah. That's what happens when you don't actually fight your way through the Top 10 and earn your shot. Everyone should've seen this coming 1,000 miles away.*
Speaking of finishing rates...you DO realize you are/were GSPs coach, right? Ya know.. the guy who rarely finished anybody and went all 5 rounds taking everybody down? I hope you told georges his finishing rate was abysmal too..
Ironic how bums in TH-cam comment section’s think Coach Zahabi give’s 1 💩 about your opinion when he coached one of the best MMA fighters of all time……he doesn’t even acknowledge you like dirt in his feet💯
GSP 7 finishes in the UFC (22 fights), Merab 1 finish in the UFC (13 fights). Also GSP's gnp was vicious while Merab's gnp just picks up points and stops the ref from standing them up.
Merab, took away Sean's rhythm. Once he continued to break Rhythm side to side and back and forward it Frustrated Sean. Once he grappled wrestle him he pressured him & took away his energy.
Marsb and Belal both spent the 5th round of there 'Championship win' getting their ass kicked bad. Madab was very hurt and running for his life. Belal was getting ground and pounded and cut to bits, leon gad no damage. Lets be diplomatic neither is the most legit champ...
11:20 Its because Aldo using the cage and let his opponent control him, Merab controlled Aldo for 5 minutes, same with Volk, Volk controlled Merab for 4 minutes. Its not like Aldo stops the takedown and keep fighting same, he lets his opponent dominate him in the clinch.
Omalleys coach had no plan b you cant tell your fighter calm your breathing every round you gotta offer actual fight advice especially when it’s obvious he has no answer for the takedown
go and watch the fight again before spreading false stories! when Merab kissed the shan Herb stoped them not because the bell rang and Shan punched him then the bell rang
Im just a casual but I think it’s terrible to have merab as champ. Can he even strike? His spastic movements and non finishing wrestling is a snooze fest. Dana can’t be excited. I hope Umar defends the takedown and KOs merab.
The problem is that cocky fighters like O’Malley talk shit before the fight and when they lose they have millions excuses. And the reality is that Merab outclassed Sean in many areas and Merab is definitely in another level.
Sean had round 3 and 5. Sean was close to get rd 1, if he landed more punches to the body (hence Merab couldnt take that teap in rd 5 (due damage already made to body) and at least got taken down later in that rd.
Yes ,I acctually think he wins all 5 rounds .Officially fight statistic show that O Malley wins. Merab 219 strikes, O malley 49, Merab 6 Take Down. O Malley =0....Clear win to O Malley
@@kratowol6703 you should never judge, my friend. Someone tells you factual strike numbers and your response is that it's fake? 😂 Sean lost 4 rounds very clearly
@@dearen7588 You're really going to sit here and pretend that compubox or the online strike statistics are correct? Give me a break. I'm pretty sure they used to count Carlos Condit's hitting the air strikes techniques back in the day. Or belals defended kicks to burns. No high level coach or fighter takes those "stats" seriously
I don't think anyone has been ready for Merab's wrestling, not even an Olympic level wrestler in Triple C. Dude is almost inhuman in his output, no pure striker has a hope of going 5 rds with that guy, you need to KO him or bust.
Omalleys coach had no plan b you cant tell your fighter calm your breathing every round you gotta offer actual fight advice especially when it’s obvious he has no answer for the takedown

I don’t blame O”Malley for getting up and punching him!
he was also turning his back
Herb told him to get off
Imagine had Sean KO's Merab in that moment? That would've been pure chaos.
If Herb had not been in between, Sean should've quickly and calmy extended his glove for a fist bump while simultaneously throwing a head kick.
@@patrickflug4605 And thus becoming the most hated fighter in the UFC.....
Gotta rewatch man, the bell hadn’t rung yet when O’Malley hit Merab
truth!
I was about to make this same comment.
The be fair O’Malley stoop up and punched Merab while there was actually 3 seconds left on the clock. It wasn’t a late hit.
No, but it was a dirty shot. He hit him while Merab's back was turned because he was trying to follow Herb's instructions.
@@nameless_alchemist it was pretty dirty
I don’t understand why more people don’t use kissing in the cage. Highly underrated technique. I hope we see more of that.
Tickling and kissing would win a lot of fights
Yes,kissing encourage opponent to be calm ,while Merab pressing his neck.
Imagine if kissing and tickling was a style of fighting
With all due respect, Coach, I think the ref did the right thing by not warning O'Malley for punching Merab after being kissed, because there were still a couple of seconds left in that round.

Yeah he mustve been at a watch party or no audio because coach was dead wrong
Yeah I wonder why he thought that wasn't legal???
At 3:27 Bro really made it seem like Sean did that out of spite rather than the round still being on lmao
Maybe because when Ref says Stop Fight stops it doesnt mean stop with kissing or fingering but Stop both fighters should stop and reset

Sean had round 3 and 5.
Sean was close to get rd 1, if he landed more punches to the body (hence Merab couldnt take that teap in rd 5 (due damage already made to body) and at least got taken down later in that rd.

I dont care if Merab doesnt get the finish because at the end of the day hes winning. I have not gotten bored of his fighting style.
It’s not about the decision, merab does zero damage on the ground and can’t submit anyone without them getting back up
True and Sean should have been more ready but he did win three rounds. 1 3 and 5 are all Sean. People who think otherwise should never judge
Yes ,I acctually think he wins all 5 rounds .Officially fight statistic show that O Malley wins. Merab 219 strikes, O malley 49, Merab 6 Take Down. O Malley =0....Clear win to O Malley
@@drazantodoric6040 219 strikes for merab is just a straight up lie. Round 1 goes to O malley and everyone knows he won 3 and 5
@@kratowol6703 It's not my Fighs Statistics, it's officially stats.Only LIER PINOCCHIO 🤥 and🤡 CLOWN in this are you.
@@kratowol6703 you should never judge, my friend. Someone tells you factual strike numbers and your response is that it's fake? 😂 Sean lost 4 rounds very clearly
@@dearen7588 You're really going to sit here and pretend that compubox or the online strike statistics are correct? Give me a break. I'm pretty sure they used to count Carlos Condit's hitting the air strikes techniques back in the day. Or belals defended kicks to burns. No high level coach or fighter takes those "stats" seriously
I don't think anyone has been ready for Merab's wrestling, not even an Olympic level wrestler in Triple C. Dude is almost inhuman in his output, no pure striker has a hope of going 5 rds with that guy, you need to KO him or bust.
Omalleys coach had no plan b you cant tell your fighter calm your breathing every round you gotta offer actual fight advice especially when it’s obvious he has no answer for the takedown
