UFC Fighters WARN Sean O' Malley about Merab Dvalishvili | UFC 306

Rob theales villy thees villy that's try I didn't butcher that name because I remember it now when this guy gets a the opportunity to fight shaa Cheeto Vera it's going to be easy work for I thought the same thing Sean I was like Sean this dude's sloppy Sean this dude is X Y and Z but it's different when you actually good in and it's different when you have a pace and a guy that doesn't necessarily have that knockout power or that accuracy but just has that goal in him and that's what makes him dangerous it's not necessarily his wrestling it's his threshold it's the ability of him continue to keep picking at the pace and keeping it at that pace where where he doesn't drain his own lot he got me I take I take the L nobody calls out Mor Rob nobody calls out morab there's a lot of respect there there's even a fear there what morab has to bring to the table you can't prepare for it's an intangible that conditioning you can't prepare for you can get up and you can go do your sprints you can time the damn thing find out what intervenience is you can even get your EPO you cannot prepare for an intangible like conditioning and it's frightening if you're dealing with a guy who's learned to weaponize pace and that's what morab has done he's a maniac man and and uh Longo was on I I don't I guess it was was it Annex podcast talking about how they basically had a three round sparring match before he went out there and fought that fight with cejudo so he's got a gas tank like nobody else in a division where gas tanks are a pretty regular thing at bantamweight morab takes the crown I mean he is the king of pace in that Division and with his durability the way he can take shots and then continue to do that I mean he's having fun in there that's something to be noted about morab he wants to be there the whole time a lot of anxiety in fighting it does not seem to be with him he truly seems like he can't freaking wait to get out there and be in that kind of a fight I I think that kick could be Champion someday for sure I mean with that pace bro if you don't knock him out in the first round he he's going to drown you this guy is a tornado dude uh and and you and you can't really contain a tornado you just got to go along for the ride and hope for the best uh and I don't the the way he matched so you know in that fight against Henry I thought Henry was a really tough matchup right just because of the wrestling alone well that was thrown out the window how are these guys supposed to stop the wrestling of of morab how are they going to stop you know even his even his movement it's it's unorthodox it's tough to get a handle on him in order to beat morab you have to be an insane wrestler and an extremely powerful Striker and if you have that you still might be in trouble when me and him were training he was going ready for Al Sterling I told him I'd rather fight aljo instead of morab morab is a machine the man does not stop and I am shocked that he took hry sudo down five times and I didn't expect morab to have such a good wrestling defense I did not expect that that's something that I did not know morab had even when hudo hit the inside trip on morab he wasn't able to succeed with it moraba was able to to defend it Henry's hit me with it he's hit Al Sterling he's hit everybody he spot with that inside trip it's his signature but morab stopped it I think people are starting to realize how good he really is and I wasn't just blowing smoke up people's ass and saying what I feel when I train with them the guy is the guy is good man he's good and I I'm telling you guys Steve you haven't trained with him in a while he's getting better man and that's the scary part he is still getting better like he's actually taking instruction he's working on combination stuff that you know like code stuff and I'm like okay okay I see you go ahead with your bad up brother go ahead with your bad up I tell you he's turned into he is a funny guy the personality has blossomed the more Spotlight that he's got on him the way morab is is a tough fight for anybody how do you have a striking battle with someone that won't stop coming forward typically you can't do that because you get tired and you run out of cardio or energy or oxygen he doesn't he just keeps coming that is what you call a pain in the ass it sounds hyperbolic when sports announcers say you know I've never seen anything like him and I think the only time I've capped a fight saying something like that was you know have you ever seen anything or have you ever seen anyone like Justin gatei and still to this point I have not seen anyone hey Mor Rob is like truly one of one I mean there is absolutely no point of comparison in the gym you know if any fighter on the roster could fight a 15 round fight it's absolutely him and guys like me who live in this fantasy world about like untimed rounds Mor Rob certainly your champion in most equations there the conditioning the commitment the genetics the ability to compartmentalize this huge high pressure Sport and right just go out as if he's going to a concert right picks up the olymp a gold medalist that had to feel good I mean you should have seen Mark Zuckerberg and the other celebrities and the way all of the VIP fans reacted to this guy and I have long said the guy leads the league in mixed martial arts offense what exactly is the problem with his style right if you don't love my promotion of msar e evloev well morav certainly more exciting than that guy with respect like the guy's noning stop uh entertains at press conferences entertains at weigh-ins inight before the fight when he gets hit when he's doing out the offense Mor's gas tank is incredible I don't know like I don't know if I've ever seen anybody uh be able to keep that type of pace and have that that that type of gas tank um as you as a fight goes on you see it every fight like these dudes literally fade right before our eyes in these fights with morab you know I want to tell a story man like you know obviously I wasn't there when he was coming from Georgia but I know when he came over to the gym I remember him being a construction worker um I didn't really know how he was making it to the gym cuz I knew construction was extremely hard coming up short in a couple fights in a row quitting the sport and then going back to work and then after couple days or weeks he had a revelation it was just like you know what I'm going to give this one more shot gave it a try came back and rattled off a couple I think five or six wins in a row got signed on looking for a fight and then from there loses his first two fights in the UFC and almost starting to feel once again in his heart like maybe this isn't For Me Maybe I'm not good enough maybe I don't belong with these guys these guys are are high level you hear he talks these guys are high level he's much better than me um and these are the thoughts he's really having to have and then he gets an opportunity to come back and break that two fight losing skid and from there just goes on a run of a lifetime and now he's finally getting his flowers I was thinking I don't care if I even make UFC or no I just want to fight I love fight I don't want to no excuses and um win or lose I got to do what I love because when I wasn't fighting I was thinking oh maybe I will enjoy like everybody else going Club Going restaurant date some girls but I was doing little before all of that but I wasn't happy and after that I was I had to go work or I have to just training it was uh very hard but thank God I did that and now I changed my life and I give motivation so many young Generations Mor Rob D is an absolute monster his name is the machine and he is a machine by the end of that fight with Henry shudo was very clear that the fight was going to end the only way that it ended with Mor Rob win it because he won't be deterred and I'll tell you this much he's tough for anyone because his Pace his pressure his cardio and his ability to just Spam takedowns he just like spams takedowns he's the guy that you play in a video game that you throw and break controllers because he will not stop he will not stop he just keeps going and going and going going and going but I'm telling you guys if I fight morab when I fight morab I'm knocking that dude out he's sloppy I'm accurate I'm too fast too sharp I'm telling you boys I put M light out worse than alo alo tkoa putting to sleep turning his nose straight
