If Merab improves his striking and top control even 20% he's probably just going to murder everybody TBH.

Damn. From looking near unstoppable to now being on a 3 fight loss streak all by KO's. Where does Marlon go from here?

God damn, when the giant asteroid hits earth and wipes out everything, it’s just gonna be Merab, Kieth Richards, and 6 ****roaches sitting around a campfire passing around a Twinkie. Nothing gonna stop this man.

Marlon's cardio is appalling, he's going to be fighting unranked fighters if he doesn't improve it. You can't be a top 10 guy and only rely on a 1st round KO, even tho Merab's chin has proved to be insane.

Yeah chill on Marlon.   But where he goes from here is a legit question and I'm not sure how I'd answer that.

Merab literally ran away 99% knocked out like a three stooges bit, and turned right around the fresher fighter. That’s fight of the night. Hands down.

I think we witnessed the birth of a new mythical fighter. Inspirational Merab Dvalishvili.

MEH, Merab is lucky AF! He was 1 punch from being completely slept, you could argue a stoppage was warranted.
I think he does in fact get slept soon. Don't, Sandhagen, Dillashaw, Yan all murder him!

And no, I am not just saying that because I am bitter!!!!

Pretty much anybody else in the division would have been woken up with a flashlight if they ate the shots Moraes landed in the first. It was more of a case of Merab prevailing than Moraes losing.

Honestly Marlon's striking didn't look half bad today. He's still fast, he still has power, his chin is just shot.

Yeah, Merab needs to work on his defense and stay a little more patient so he doesn't get caught in future fights... that being said surviving that onslaight from Marlon proved that he's incredibly tough and will have to be knocked out, lights out - otherwise he'll just keep getting up.
