Yan is one of the top ten best fighters in the world imo but merab is just the definition of overfuckingwhelming

Here’s the thing…Merab looks like he could go another 5 rounds again. Dude is smiling/not breathing heavily at all after giving yet another fighter the feeling of emphysema. @raylongomma

Clean win for Merab, shoutout to the LAW/Serra boys they have been crushing it #UFCLasVegas

— Billy Quarantillo (@BillyQMMA) March 12, 2023
Merab Dvalishvili just put on a performance that would make a fictional prime Clay Guida on EPO and amphetamines look lazy. #UFCVegas

In case you’re watching Yan for the first time tonight or just casually look at his record over the last few fights, you wouldn’t know that he’s an absolute killer with awesome skills everywhere. Working on his footwork will help him tremendously and can get him back to the top.

I know it’s an obvious thought, but if that is suspected, where is the golden bitch, Notwatski, who said he would test anyone he thinks is using PED’s ?

All of usada is either corrupt or the entire system needs to be addressed imo

I mean what I saw was almost super human level cardio. He should be tested if not for peds but just to see how he can push that hard for 25 mins straight, maybe his lungs have bigger capacity?

Or he could be just an exception.

That level of cardio should raise questions.

It was insane. He made Yan, who is also a cardio machine, look like a heavyweight in Mexico City.
