Where does Merab rank amongst the greatest bantamweights?

You've got Cruz, Barao, TJ, Cejudo and Sterling. All great fighters but I think Merab's taken the title of GOAT bantamweight. He hasn't even had any close fights apart from the Umar fight which he honestly could've finished if he wasn't screwing around and taunting him. He also got a submission win against Sean (the first finish since he TKO'd Morales). I think that's his 2nd ever submission win in his career so he's getting even better in the middle of his incredible run. I think he easily racks up another 4-5 defences he's not even slowing down. submitted by /u/Open_Address_2805 [link] [comments]
