Merab beat Cejudo like he was nothing while this is the guy who became the youngest American to win an Olympic gold in wrestling.
Merab beat shadow of Cejudo
Cejudo has been retired from sports in 2020. He was great in wrestling in 2006-2008. And Merab beat him only in 2024. When Jake Paul fights retired or old fighters people make laugh at him. When Merab beats the guy who hasnt been in real action for 4 years, comes after a shoulder injury and has retired, it is considered as a great achievement. They fought early this year 2024. Although Cejudo lost he is not even hurt badly, the only reason most of them want to fight Cejudo is because it always makes a huge payout. Merab fighting Umar is different. Although it has been said before that Merab wants to fight Umar, that was before he didn't have a belt. Now he has something to hold on to. Umar vs Merab better be a big payout for him which I guess hyping makes sense.
Now that we see Shavkat didn't make a big win vs Machado I think Belal does have a good chance as well. If Belal was in the position of Machado behind Shavkatm he would make sure he would choke Shavkat. I now remember the name.
