Yeah... After beating Umar Nurmagomedov, I'm not really sure who could beat him. He'll be a champ for a long time until his body can't do it no more. But he'll prolly retire a champ. There's nobody left for him to fight unless he wants to move up to 145.
I don't understand why people talk so much about Umar, why do people think that he is the one who can beat Merab? He was so humiliated in that fight that if I was him, I wouldn't fight him before. Also, he doesn't deserve a rematch unless he beats some other top guys but I think that Dana White wants that rematch because he hates Merab and somehow builds his hope on Umar but he will see how Umar will be beaten again.If you see, Merab is reaching new levels after every fight. Despite the fact that he is 34 years old, he is getting better every day and from this performance against Sean O'Malley, I can't really see anyone beating Merab in this division, even if they fight him in a row in a single day. Nobody can tire Merab, nobody can wrestle him, nobody can knock him out and I'd even say that nobody can strike him, he outstriked Sean O'Malley. Did you watch how amazing Merab's striking was? This short guy was punching better than one of the best puncher in bantamweight.
Mmmm I know you're a huge Dvalishvili fan and I respect that and not taking anything away from him but I think a rematch should be in the works for those guys as Umar Nurmagomedov broke his right hand early in their first fight. That's why Dvalishvili made it look easy. I think it would've been closer if Nurmagomedov didn't break his hand.

At least they gave us a decent event after a PPV. Usually they give us a sht main event. This one is watchable at least. Simon vs Jourdain is interesting, Garbrandt vs Barcelos is gonna be good and decent the main event as said.
