No room to breathe for 25 straight minutes for Yan he needed to try selling out earlier it's almost like he expected Merab so slow down and so did I but rd 5 was the same place as rd 1 not even breathing heavy dude is nuts. End of the round Yan landed some big shits but waaay too little too late just constantly defending TD's , not much control from merab but pressure makes diamonds

Looks like I had it the wrong way around -- should've covered on yan to finish late and gone main on Merab by decision... He's been relentless, showing signs of slowing down in rd 4 and Yan had his chances there, but we'll see what the 5th holds

Not even close stuffed the first big shot and it was basically over

Krylov closes it out with a beautiful first round triangle! Was just a step ahead in the grappling, beautiful work from both men and an awesome one rd fight... I feel like this clearly dethrones the turklaji petrino fight for FOTN, sure lots of back and forth there for sure but felt like it wasn't really very high level work from either man, and that shouldn't qualify compared to this or the Martinez Nurmagomedov fight

Well my Nam pick got busted quick! Front kick up the middle + a nasty RNC in the scramble when Nam was getting a bit reckless with the getup... That's MMA for you!
