UFC 316 Post-Fight Show: Is Merab the 135 GOAT?
About this episode
At UFC 316, Merab Dvalishvili not only defeated Sean O'Malley, he finished him inside of three rounds. It was a stunning achievement for a fighter who had been known as a force, but not a finisher. We discuss what this means for both fighters, who might be next and whether Merab is the best to ever do it at 135 pounds. We also talk Kayla Harrison's achievements, her showdown with Amanda Nunes and much more.
