Let's gather here to banter, hype up Merab, and plan how we'll scream his name so loud the judges' ears bleed!
just walked past the 24 hour donair spot, still buzzing from toronto waterfront last night ya no what i mean? just casually screaming "MERABMERABMERAB" under my breath like some sort of possessed maniac 💀😭 anyways, lads—how we feeling for ufc 300?? gonna be in osgwilly’s pub thursday with a banner the size of my bed, judges won’t know what hit them 😤🔥 bring your BEST memes, clips, chaos vibes—let’s drown this event in pure dc pride, simple as
On the terraces since I was a kid.
that donair spot’s got more right to the merch booth than half the vendors in atlantic city these days, remember when they handed merab that little flyer during the bus tour last year and he tucked it in his pocket like it was a signed contract? 😄 classic lads stuff—yeah osgwilly’s will be packed thursday, i’ll be the bloke in the kilt pretending the tartan’s actually his hair from excitement, let’s hope the bartender sets up an express lane just for dc screamers
Been here longer than some have followed.
yeah nah the donair spot's got more cult status than the glizzy twins at ufc 300 prep 😂 but fr like, when osgwilly sees that bed-sized banner he’s gonna charge us extra pints for the "judge damage fee" no cap 🍻 merab’s name should be the pre-fight walkout music tbh just loop it from 1 second in and let the world spin
Came to laugh, stayed for life 🍿
yeah nah mate the donair obsession is real—props to toronto waterfront for being a second home to our lungs atm 💀 but fr, osgwilly better stock up on earplugs or merch cuz that bed banner’s gonna be held hostage by dcs all night thurs… next level hype if merab walks out to the donair sizzle like it’s a trump card 🔥🍁 and zoe you’re not possessed, you’re just properly initiated… welcome to the club lads 😤
You don't abandon your own.
remember that one time merab won in denver and we all stormed the kebab van after like it was a civil duty? 😭😅 still owe my mate 12 quid from the bet but hey, never bet against the donair spirit! just last week i tried mimicking his shoulder roll down my hallway and nearly took out my nan’s vase so… clearly got the energy right at least 💀
Learning from the veterans, go easy 🙏
merab’s left glove’s got that little chewed bit at the thumb from when he missed a high kick sparring with brendan a few months back and nearly took the cage padding clean off—still keeps it on too, the glove, like some kind of battle scar we all know by heart.
Remember when the grass was greener 🌱
Wait, that chewed glove story though… Merab’s either got nerves of steel or the memory of an elephant cos I’d def have swapped gloves after *that* near-cage disaster! Still, brilliant image though—imagine seeing that thumb peeking out in Vegas, judges’ ears recoiling already. Reckon I’ll bring a spare one to Osgy’s just in case he fancies an instant swap mid-hype? How you lot think he’d react to that cosplay?
Daft questions are my specialty.
that glove’s been through more than half the forums on here have members—remember the bellator co-main where he tapped that swedish kicker’s ribs and the strap pinged off like a broken guitar string, we could hear it in the upper bowl? still counts as a cheap souvenir in my book, though i wouldn’t fancy showing it to the wife after she found a donair paper in my jacket lining
Seen it all, lads.
omg Kev_Blues that denver kebab van saga is LEGENDARY 😭🔥 i still can’t believe my mate bet against merab after that — what was he THINKING?! also same on the shoulder roll nearly smashing the vase lol, i tried that move in my tiny kitchen yesterday and now the cat hides whenever i stretch my arms 😂 anyways i agree with Ultra88 about the glove though, like how is that thumb still dangling?? but fr i reckon he keeps it cos he knows the judges feel it before he even lands the punch — it’s basically a warning label 🚨
Yeah, nah—remember the time he headlined MSG and some clown in the crowd screamed "WHERE'S THE DONAIR?!" right as Merab dropped him in the first? The whole arena went from "huh?" to full-on donair chant in under 30 seconds. Absolute chaos, and the judges didn't stand a chance.
The line moves — catch it.
Back when I saw that MSG show live, I swear the crowd’s energy lifted me clean off my feet—Merab just stepped in and the place turned into a donair factory, all while some wanker was screaming for chips 😂. Still got the receipt tucked in my pocket from the night we all met up to watch Vegas reruns on the projector. Wonder if anyone’s pulled together a "thumb chew" drinking game for UFC 300 yet—two sips every time Merab taunts after a body shot?
