"Merab absolutely wins this fight all day. Can't believe 88% here think Aldo even has a chance..... 
Merab will land more Takedowns that Aldo lands Significant strikes."

Many of yall need to work on your MMA IQ something fierce.


DrChaotic
"Lmao keep dreaming. Aldo is literally the best anti wrestler in MMA history, only Whittaker comes close. He's never fought a wrestler like Merab, but still, unless his age has caught up to him this an easy day at the office for him"


@DrChaotic Showing his impressive MMA IQ Thinking Defending Takedowns actually scores points.

DrChaotic "Aldo because he is an anti wrestler & lands less sig strikes than his opponent has Takedown attempts"

Bahhhh

Last night is why I love this sport.  Terrible night mostly and then one of the greatest upset clutch victories ever in MMA history for the belt.  And it proved once again, the MMA gods are undefeated lol.

"Ooh I've been challenged! How exciting

Oh wait @Ag3nt_X you're the one who challenged me, not the illiterate guy. Hmm, probably shouldn't have gone off on him so hard but tis life. Alright dipass, I accept your challenge. But if Aldo wins you have to change your pfp to whatever I want for a month. Same rules apply. 

High stakes for the fight are what I love to see you Dagestani ****rider, I'll be sure to tag you when Aldo wins"

Really now? You want to wager 12 months AV on the 3 event challenge? Or you still just running that 🐓 sucker?

Eventually you'll learn something in all of this..

I need to humble you and get my win back so sure, it’ll be fun seeing you rage like an autistic Roblox player. The challenge is whoever gets more picks right on every single event? Easy. I’m gonna have fun making you a special avatar

I'm not going to stay up on a faulty stream and watch but man sometimes when I check the results I think I'm tripping. I can't believe Leon head kicked him like that. That **** was perfect when I watched it this morning.

Joe Rogan calling it the best headkick in UFC history, agree?

Called it Tuesday that Leon would pay me back in full. What a comeback, what a true underdog story. Didn’t give up on himself and KOd the p4p #1. I think Leon wins the trilogy too. Usman is getting older and coming back from a brutal KO loss is never easy

I wish more coaches were like Lovell when their fighter is down. Imagine if he was in Rose's corner instead of yes-man Wittman and Pat the Groomer. This guy is a guy you can go to war with.

I still can't believe Leon went from beating 3 LW's who didn't want to cut weight and almost losing a decision to Gunnar Nelson, to topping it off by knocking out the #1 P4P fighter and taking his belt. I love this sport but it makes no ******* sense most of the time LOL
