@@emeraldcitylights3721I think he has the powers to create world peace. Merab has really grown on me. I find his attitude towards his opponents refreshing. *Merab seems like a forest gnome came to life & got into MMA. Hense how he has supernatural powers lol No one else would have survived that dive into the ice head first! As well as his endurance. He's gotta have magical powers. Anyways, merab really is a good dude. He shows how It's possible to be honest and humble, while having confidence as well at the same time. Last point, I really feel merab could have already been batamweight champ if Aljo went up a weight division sooner. They could have easily worked that out. Especially since Aljo was so vocal and clear about how much he was tired of the weight cut at batamweight so he could have talked with merab and let him know he'll move up and give merab his deserved shot at the batamweight division. I'm surprised they didn't consider this situation?
@@SuperThesavagehow many bad takes have you had over the years ? Ofc sean can put his lights out but if he doesn't, he is in for a bad time and nerab is a zombie, sean really would need yo sleep him or he'll tough it out and battle through it. If i would bet i'd rather bet on merab. If that ice jump didn't knock him out it'll be really hard and that seems like the only road to victoria for sean. Just stop the absolutes, this still mma and anything can happen.
If he were a kind of person who would advertise their good deeds and start talking what he has done or doing for others, u’d be effing surprised how many people he helps to.
Wasn’t a huge fan of merab but his mindset of always trying to be the student and always improving makes him easily a new fighter I admire now. He has the tools to go very far and I hope he continues to find success in his UFC career.
I have been a fan of The Machine since is 11 takedown outing against Kenny. The ice dive made me an even bigger fan! From snatching O'Malley's jacket, to teaching us to say his name the man just keeps getting better all while being authentic and humble! Thank you for another fantabulous interview and video Champ!
As a Chechen a can tell that most of the Georgians are the same good personality as Merab, they are loved in the all Caucasus for their humanity, loyalty and hospitality they are very genuine people. Most of them, of course you can't idealize every single georgian
Man life is kinda crazy. I remember as a teen getting into the sport I became a fan of dj instantly cause he's a dude that looked like me, and he had a Xbox logo on his trunks lol Then I found out he's a nerdy guy that streams games and kicked butt and followed his youtube instantly! Now I'm turning 30 this year and I'm watching my favorite fighter do amazing interviews with various fighters I'm a fan of as well. IDK if you'll see this sir but keep up the great content!
@@unkownboi67is_unavailable62 definitely not, don’t get me wrong, I’m a Charles fan and he gained massive amounts of muscle after running into money, but guys like Sandhagen, hooker, Derrick lewis etc.. are definitely clean
Bro is literally the goat in mma and now a goat interviewer, so natural and entertaining it’s crazy it impresses the fans and the guests he has. Keep it up DJ, much love from Alaska.
You are the man Mighty. Alot of fighters clearly trying the pod thing and you have it. Congratulations and I know it wasn't easy but you stuck with it. Just a flat out winner.
It’s so crazy how much this guy has grown on the MMA fan base. At first people didn’t care for his style, watching him beat up and drown their favorite fighters with his relentless pressure and cardio. But his humbleness, funny videos, performance’s, and personality just grows on you, and you can’t help but like the guy. I can’t wait to see him fight for the title now, he definitely has earned it. Great interview as always DJ. Your a natural at this as well. Keep putting out the great content. 👍
@@tomevers6670go to Georgia tell them u are from US Georgia and u’ll have a feast and wine of your life, they’ll try to beat each other who will be best host for you😂 show love and actually they’ll do the same for everyone, unfortunately to Russian’s too. We have a saying guest is send from god so we are prideful hosts. But countries and people like Russians are taking that s…. For advantage
Such a humble fighter, his channel is great, gives insight into his personal life and Georgian culture. I think a lot of people sleeping on Georgian mma talent, big Judo and Wrestling and Sambo programs. Also thanks for Demetrious for bringing more notice to the lighter divisions which are very exciting, I usually watch Japanese regional mma like DEEP, Pancrase, Shooto for all the lighter weight mma competition but Demetrious is one of the few smaller western mma fighters that has GOAT status(yeah I'm a biased 137lb BJJ guy,lol)
I give all my respect to merab. Dana trying to get 2 best friends to fight is stupid…. He stood on his word and is still getting a title shot. What a stand up man
I met Merab twice in vegas last year and he spent a good 10min each time talking and giving training tips. Really awesome humble guy. I asked him how he got such good cardio and he just pulled me in close and went "it's the girls man, all the girls" 😂
First fight I saw of Merab was vs John Dodson, and when I saw he was in Ray Longo's team I was an instant fan. I wish him all the best in the future, he's a phenomenal human being, hard working man and thats why I love him
I kind of dismissed Merab in the past and I feel ashamed now, he's so much fun, what a great guy. He's also part of the familia as a fellow part Mexican!
Everybody talks about Merab's gas tank, but he's demonstrating that it's really about efficiency of movement and a very high fight IQ. Merab is my favorite fighter right now from his fighting style to his personality. Great athlete 👍
Thank you DJ. Much love from Georgia. You are legend of the sport. I would like to see you training with Merab one day. Would be a great collaboration on your or Merab's channel.
Damn merab is a judo guy . Another judo win. I knew it his takedowns were different than usual freestyle. Makhavhev and now merab the judo guys are taking over
@@Sergio-dh5qh judo is good for mma and makhachev is example of that. Old school judo is what's Khabibs father based his system on . I think there's a reason Khabib father favourite art was judo. Merab also clarified he was not well versed in judo footsteps and trips which makhachev uses extensively in mma. Merab also mentioned he took down guys in gym easily using judo but the jujitsu guys would take his back. His coach might have not taught him judo newaza in detail and that reflected in his approach to judo. Although merabs base is judo but he himself admitted he uses one move extensively . At best he is a mediocre judoka and what's funny is merab being a mediocre judoka was able to take down and dominare an Olympic champion lmao
Demetrius is amazing at this! He lets his guests speak, I love it! And Merab is the funniest, most humble guy ever. I’ll be so happy for him when he’s wearing that belt one day! Cheers from Miami to the GOAT Mighty Mouse!!!!
Man, some people are so nice you'd never guess they beat people up for a living. This is one of those guys. As he improves his English and continues to build up his following, I see this guy turning into a big UFC star.
Merab has VERY quickly become my favorite fighter. Me and my friends knew him as the takedown guy but he is so much more than that. Hes just seem like a down to earth cool guy and is a killer in the octagon. Those spin kicks he threw againts henry were impressive. I dont see omalley or vera getting past this man cus hes never gotten tired in his life😂
Merab is quickly becoming my favorite fighter at 135.
Last fight being exciting after the aldo snoozer is helping too

Merab is the homie you want in life. Friendship means more to him than a belt.
💯. Hard to find these days

Anyone who thinks Merab was afraid of aljo and isn’t just a great friend is an idiot
Yes, he went to America with nothing and no one, and Aljo looked after him when he had no obligation to💯💪
მერაბი მაგარი ადამიანი მაგარი კაცი და მაგარი მებრძოლია❤🇬🇪💪🏻
The fact that Aijo was helping him set up was beautiful
Aljo like that older brother who has to setup his lil brother's school zoom call during lockdown 😂
That’s real brotherhood
Agreed. Good to see that fame and $ didn't divide them.
and its hilarious you can hear him laugh once in a while in the background
aljo is a knob
This guy is so straight forward and honest. Probably among the most honest people i ve seen. Very rare traits,great guy.
Agreed I think that why people are beginning to respect and love him
dont matter, sugar is squashing him like a bug

Merabs the man. Glad his English is good enough he can do long interviews like this. Great work
Seriously. You have to respect the amount of effort these russian beasts put into their english. They know its all part of the game.
