I hate watching Merab fights. One of the most boring fighters around. How are people applauding his "Record amount of takedowns" when he had about 14% success rate? Off the top of my head, I can't recall if defence is given as much points as takedowns do but they definitely should.
And who does Merab think he is to say he isn't going to fight for the belt because Aljo is the champ? Piss off, you aren't anywhere near a fan favourite so you have zero say in picking and choosing your fights.
