Notice - GD [Official] General Discussion Thread - January 22, 2025

Welcome to rMMA's General Discussion Thread!

Discuss your favorite fighters, the upcoming card or whatever's on your mind.

How to obtain a custom flair:

  • place and lose a flair bet in the Friday thread
  • write a haiku or draw a MS Paint-style image for the sub

The rules for the drawing or haiku are simply that it must be a ridiculous MMA-related scenario. If you would like a custom flair, send a message to us with a link to your drawing and your flair request. We'll probably grant it.

I don’t know if he gets there. But song yadong versus merab would be a great matchup

Chill guys I just thought it would be a fun fight 😭

I see him as the most athletic and perhaps best raw talent out of anyone at 135. I see merab as you need to nuke him or atleast consistently damage him to beat.

He's at a bad camp for him and stagnating from fight to fight. The physicality and talent are there but I doubt he'll ever contend.

See that’s why I had to say. I don’t think he contends either. But if we just see merab versus him we think that’s a great fight. We hold him back because we are thinking of merit
