Merab is the best fighter and absolute killer in this division and for people that want to see the "champ" suga sean really tested and to proof his champ status Merab is the guy,Corry also a great fighter but he lost to Yan and Merab just killed Yan easy so the real mma fans wannt to see the biggest challenge which is Merab not Corry

Merab would rather be Aljo's side ho than be champ, the only one to blame is Merab! He is currently writing the book on career suicide.
