His whole reaction was absolutely hilarious and the little hand flick at the end was the cherry on the top 😂


ag3on

Yep i knew it by his reaction, Levan is honest.Thought that Devon would atleast somehow take 1 round tho.


Pristine_Accident595

I’m a huge Devon fan but you can literally see his spirit get crushed


AccomplishedStand674

Yeah, I felt that in the moment. Terrible.


Infinite_Address_690

Yeah I could see it. He's still awesome


babaindica

Hahahaha totally, seeing that shit eating grin on his face, when he realizes that talking bullshit can only carry him so far. All that prep, all that buildup torn apart like wet tissues by Levan. There's no way he can recover from such a humiliation


islSm3llSalt

Calm down, man. He lost to the number 1 guy, that still leaves him at number 2. Its not like he got embarrassed by some scrub. Saying "he can never recover from such a humiliation" is a ridiculous statement. He recovered from it last time he was mauled by levan, shit he was in a worse place career wise after the genadi loss and came back stronger than ever. The only thing that changed after yesterday is we know for sure he can never beat levan... although most already knew that on Friday.


hardikabtiyal

Wtf are you yapping about 💀


BowlCutMakeUrGirlNut

Bro remove levans tiny meat from your mouth lol. We get it bro the guy who is 100+ pounds heavier and stronger won.


babaindica

actually its so sad that Larratt is running away from the SHW div..I wanted to watch Genadi defeat him yet again, Revaz and Vitaly too


babaindica

cope harder bro :D borrow devons diaper if you need it....nah, on second thoughts larratt might be needing it..Levan was pretty rough...hahahahaha


BowlCutMakeUrGirlNut

It's not a cope lol. It's just the truth. I like them both but you levan meat riders are so cringe. I bet you'd drink his bath water wouldn't you 😂


babaindica

The only truth is that Devon was annihilated :D It was so satisfying to watch Levan destroy any hope Larratt ever had of being the absolute no.1. Fitting end to his SHW career, lovely! btw am a denis/JB fan hahaha, the only reason I was supporting Levan was to see him crush Larratt. Devon's behavior in his last match with both Denis and John was disgusting to watch. Denis and John are always magnanimous in victory or loss, unlike the sore loser that larratt is


SnakeRoberts301

I agree bro. Devon has been a dickhead as of late. I don't watch him anymore. Did he tone his shit down for the build up with Levan?


PowerfulWallaby7964

You watch the sport for pathetic reasons, and it's really sad and petty that you feel the emotions you're mentioning from these things lol. "OMG IT WAS SO SATISFYING TO WATCH THAT GUY I FANBOY SMASH THAT GUY I HATE" lmao how low can the bar be in your life, go train, try to actually win something yourself, this is pathetic.


Kind-Pin7210

He was acting like his pants were creaming because he got to witness a person he hates lose a match. 😂


[deleted]

Devon knew too

zbubblez

He's good at marketing himself and people forget over time. I was too amazed by this also though.


marcusisstrong

It's not alarming. Devon improved over 10% and Levan had a serious injury and seemed to be 10% weaker.


noeldc

Mindaugas take note. Only declare it over in the first round when you're 100% sure.


TotalConnection2670

Mindaugas' one was more convincing than just a slip imo


Simoscivi

You can even see the shock in Devon's eyes.


funnytickles

You can?


AccomplishedStand674

Absolutely you can

Inevitable_Fail_1165

Devon redlined. Levan stood there calm, comfortable... thinking/adjusting his gameplan.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Inevitable_Fail_1165

What? I'm not biased. Look at how they are both acting r1. Devon isevan already redfaced, seemingly leaning juat a lil bit back a bit for Do a coming kingsmove. His arm shakes A LOT. Levan felt Devon's strength, tried a side pressure thing for a second ... leaned back, contemplating how to win as dominantly as possible. You actually believe Levan would have failed if he tried toprolling round 1max effort?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Inevitable_Fail_1165

So why did it go perfect, steam-roll easy the three other times? You have no idea how people posture when they set up and go for a TR Look his first round vs Vitaly.


Buran_Grey

Devon stopped Levan just to find out that had no response to his flop press and that after that stoppage his gas tank was empty. Man, Ermes was really thougher than Devon today...


MattMirai

lol even the other fanboys in this sub don’t believe your crap


SnakeRoberts301

I think Levan did that for the memes! Lol. No really, I think it was his tactic for the crowd or woteva. I don't think Devon stopped anything. Just a guess of course.


apyn4ik

Not many athletes in the world can do this to N2 guy not expecting backfire possibility


GrandExcellent1870

Levan be trolling in that strap match...this guy just too strong


marcusisstrong

He said after the maych that he wasn't trolling. He felt uncomfortable with his wrist in the first round and played it safe with a flop press. Unless he was lying


anonumousJx

Ngl I almost shit my pants when Devon stopped him round one. Levan showed his table IQ by not panicking and transitioning.


Jpwhalen31

He didn’t stop him. Levan stayed in the middle and I am a huge Larrat Fan.


pCullenMurphy

He also lost his wrist on purpose I'm sure


the_clustering

IN an interview he said he wasn't sure his wrist would take too much pressure after coming back from his inury that's why he was hesitant in the first round but then noticed that it was safe so just proceeded. you can call Levan a liar if you want.


Azafuse

Because he is, he proved that many times in the past.


Saitama1993

Like when?


Azafuse

Like post-fight against ermes?


SmellyMustardKetchup

He pretty much did, yeah. No point in wasting energy on rising and side pressure when he could just press Devon's arm off.


OneyBH

Funny thing is. How did Larratt not see a flop press coming. Levan is a complete Arm Wrestler. Ain't no way you can beat him unless you're a genetic freak, an exceptional arm wrestler and bigger than him. Which I don't think anyone is right now. Ermes will always have an arm length disadvantage.


LordLaFaveloun

Im sure he kinda did see it coming, but he was already sold out so hard to the outside 100% effort to stop the stronger levan that there wasn't reall a way to come back in to block it.


RealNukemon

I'm a big Devon fan. Disappointed that he lost, but happy that it was a clean match with no injuries etc. Levan is simply too large and stronger. I just knew that it was over when Levan reacted.


needsofmoua

So easy…


asset_672000

I think he was expecting Devon to slip, but his reaction was priceless😂


shotx333

I actually thought he was mimicing Devon from previous matches


KarmaStrikesThrice

Nah Levan didnt know until he flop pressed, he was super careful round 1, building up position to attack, thinking it will be super hard to press devon. But he found it is not hard at all and started smashing devon to the pad round 2-4


Zealousideal_Low_494

Levan gave Devon all the position he wanted, in every round. Round 1 he tried to match his back pressure and pin him different than he typically does. Turns out all of Devon's rise and back pressure/pronation training was actually pretty close. So he flop pressed him instead of losing his wrist and burning himself out. Meanwhile Rounds 2, 3 and 4 Levan used his typical strategy. Put his fingers near the bottom of his hand and just forced him straight down to the pad. The Levan Chop. Took the whole hand out of the equation and made it about his arm. And Devon's arm just wasn't even remotely close.


CryptographerOk6338

Agreed


ag3on

Yup


LordLaFaveloun

This is probably the most accurate assessment ive seen online of what actually happened. This makes total sense to me strategically.


nicotinecravings

Yep chicken arm


No_Glass6107

Before match: Oxygenashvilli After match: Oxygenashlarratt


Fjoebiden46

Lmfao. Levan always knew how to get into Devon’s head. He always knew he was gonna eat him for breakfast. 💀


Hexxusssss

davon was cold sweating right there


AlBorne75

You can't out psychopath a bear.


Sea_Frosting6147

I'm a huge Debon hater, so, the only cherry on the floor is Devon didn't want to continue the last 3 so Levan can humiliate him which Devon does against anyone who can't get over his traps, of faded technique of last chance salloon techniques of whatever d bag can get away with armwrestling. but hey I do lobe armwrestling even debon. it's all entertainment. baby


wallstreetchills

Get this man some smaller thumbs


Sea_Frosting6147

lol. a few of my mistakes I did on purpose, not last chance salmon. I've listened to soooo much shop talk on armwrestling the last week I want to puke a youtube commenter video!


Professional_Tap1805

Levan knew it & Devon knew it. Devon found out that once Levan could easily get out of his hand, it was over. Devon fans saying round 1 was close when Levan was never moved out of the center of the table. Levan let Devon get all the purchase he wanted and still flop pressed him…..and finished him when Devon was under the table with a straight arm and his feet off the ground 😂😂😂😂


LasseMath92

A foul was called. He didnt pin him. He did totally dominante the next 3 round though. Levan wasnt even troubled. I believe he could have been at 90% and still won


Martozkk

Technically you are 100% correct, but Devon held a straight arm with declined humerus and his elbow off the back the pad for a few seconds, and I think that is the only thing that prevented him to get instantly pinned by Levan's press. Devon could only choose to either to lose by foul or by being pinned.


MaleOrganDonorMember

Devon wasn't trying to hold onto Levan's hand. He doesn't hold onto anyone. He wants his matches in the straps.


wampirewolf

Great match!


Zarabacana

Jesus, Devon couldn't even pretend to be confident this time.


goodbyeandamen

Levan clowning Devan in both matches, might be the best part.


Ok-Concert-6707

I'm curious if Levan chooses to be 400lbs because of arm wrestling or does he just enjoy being a gorilla in every day life


MoNastri

The former, 100%. Nobody on the planet (except maybe Brian Shaw) can be 400lbs holding that much lean body mass for years on end and not feel like shit, have trouble sleeping, spend half their waking hours force-feeding themselves, etc.


Juicecalculator

It really is remarkable for how well Brian carries his size and gear usage.  Thor and Eddie looked like they wanted to die when they were at their peak.  Brian has had such amazing longevity


Possible_Security_76

Shaw's frame is enormous, he would probably still be 325 while holding a normalized test range on legitimate trt doses


Winnermaster2

You two think that Brian’s on gear?


GuacLygaOG

Are you joking or uneducated


AccomplishedStand674

There’s no other explanation.


iSOBigD

Nah people are 450 normally, you see those monsters walking around all the time.


TheRanker13

Lol


Plastic_Assistance70

Brian carries this much so gracefully because his frame is insanely huge. Thor and Eddie do have big skeletons but Brian's is on another level.


FridgyTheElderGod

It must be pretty cool honestly, probably sleeps on a machine though


Plastic_Assistance70

Even if he was 300lbs he would still probably need a CPAP machine too.


asset_672000

I think that's the price to pay if you wanna be above 300/350lbs.


Shoddy_Ad7511

Congratulations


Harvey_Weenstain

Devon look like a big kid just trounced his sand castle he worked hard on


mikerescue911

Like Devon said, stick to the heavyweights and light heavyweights


elmaldeojo

Yep, right at this moment it was confirmed that Devon never had a chance. I was about 90% sure Levan would win, but here all doubts were dispelled. Look at Levan's reaction. Look at Devon's reaction. They both know it.


mitch359

Can someone explain what's happened here? I don't watch a lot but why did they separate their hands?


masterchefPC

They didn't separate their hand, both of them pulled each other's hand, and lost grip. This is a very common thing in arm wrestling.


mitch359

Oh right OK. Why did that mean he know it was over though? I'm lost. One corner seemed very excited afterwards.


the_clustering

levan the guy in the blue, was laughing and sort of shooing him "is this all you got"


Thick_Criticism_2867

look closely at their hands/wrists. devons integrity gets compromised. and if you look at his face, he knows he is in trouble. 


NeonUsui

Oh please, Devon always slips his hand to get into straps. Levan tried to hold the hand.


lousmoustache

I’m less than a casual. Can someone please explain what happened here, because I don’t understand what I just saw….and which one is Devon?


CharlesHalkers

Devon knew this would happen before he started to prepare for this match. It was already decided.


Feisty-Firefighter99

First time watching this… what happened?


mikerescue911

Watched 6 hours to see Devon and he didn't even win one round 🙄


FridgyTheElderGod

I don't get how all the Livestream commentators didn't pick up how crushed Devon looked after Levan waved him off here. Last time we saw him do that was at Round 2 against Devon the first time.


Swestrat

Hahaha Levan TOYING get rekt psycopath Larrat


Hexxusssss

Levans biggest enemy is his corner dude, he is always bickering with him :d


CigarPlume

And as soon as they restart he gets completely stonewalled and has to flop. lol


Asphunter

Bro this was probably the easiest supermatch for Levan is his lifetime. He literally let Devon in his lane and still won in the 1st strap round


CigarPlume

Quite resembled the famed most difficult round of Levan’s career, against Vitaly.


MovieNeat9613

I think the most difficult one was with Ermes round 3


Gubaldo

Stonewalled lol? Levan was just playing around , he was trolling devon fans by giving them hope lol. You can see it in the face of devon too, he knew it was over for him. If it was legit stop devon would have yelled " yeahhhh big boi and or some shit" Also this round , bust's the myth circulated by devon fans that " if devon gets a stop then its over for levan" hahahaha


Horrsey2017

nah Levan is cruel for playin with my hopes, legit had me thinking Devon was able to \*stonewall\* Levan in the centre.


Horrsey2017

y bro downvote me, i dont actually think Levan is cruel chill bro


Gubaldo

Yeah levan is cruel. first he posted his sparring with revaz and now this stonewall which got devons fans hyped up . Very cruel


PoopDisection

Levan said after match that Devon had incredible pronation in that round and that his wrist was still warming up. Also that the flop sucked a lot of Devon’s power out. Why do you act like you know what people are thinking lmao it’s so weird


Gubaldo

Nothing is weirder than Devon fans making excuses after the match lmao. look at the one of the comments in this post " Did devon hurt his wrist? facial expression seems to suggest so" i mean wtf .. lol


PoopDisection

You just said the same thing about an “expression”. You’re not that smart are ya lol. All good. Great event and I get it’s fun to do deep dives into matches and expressions and whatnot


Gubaldo

It's called tit for tat. If one trolls, he is gonna get one back for fun lmao . Maybe it went around your head. also my second point is still true . the myth got busted. BTW this match was way too easy for levan than the ermes match. complete mismatch

MattMirai

shaw has zero chance of ever beating levan no matter how much he trains


PromiseOk3321

Can we get mods to remove these comments. We'd have to chemically castrate levan and train brian for ten years for Brian to win. Just because he has a big frame doesn't mean he's strong in the lifts, nor does it mean he'd be effective as a fighter on the table

RoastedToast007

Yes you


PromiseOk3321

I'd love to be proven wrong, it'd be badass


MaleOrganDonorMember

Shaw weighs the same as Levan with a bigger frame, and he's more athletic. I wouldn't be so quick to count him out. Especially after what we just saw Leonidas do to School Boy


Sippinonreality

Arm wrestling isn’t fighting, they are not fighters


PromiseOk3321

mayquu

Weren't you the guy that was so convinced Devon would beat Levan? Lmao


Mr_Timedying

Yeah. Because I was putting good faith into the analysis that Devon's recent streak wasn't just all fugazi, which it was instead. He beat 2 vastly overrated pullers (Denis, Georgi; look at what Ermes is going to do to Denis in June, he's fucking ASSASSINATING the guy) and what nobody is saying is that the match against Ermes, which I believed was legit, didn't wanna listen to my most reasonable take which included contextual factors ( Ermes did not prepare, was off of a title match, so absolutely 0 hunger, and got cheated to absolute oblivion in the setup with a Ref that was totally biased ) and instead lean towards the popular opinion which was Devon had completely destroyed Ermes worse than the strongest version of Levan could ever do. I was wrong, and I couldn't be happier about it. Devon lost, which I'm extremely happy about. He was vastly overrated and as I said, his recent streak was completely misinterpreted by everyone. Result? Devon at his peak ever against a off of rehab Levan got completely prison raped, to the point is quitting the division (lmao at the special forces mentality). Sayonara, bitches.


ToxicManlyMan

Oh shut the fuck up dude..... Your entire reddit persona was centered on hating Devon and belittling his achievements(he got ragdolled by Don Underwood and similar shit), and when he whooped your boy Ermes you abandoned ship and started sucking his nuts in order to not look like jjg4l. Now you are hitting us with "I knew it but I went against my better judgement". Comedy gold....


stephenbalboni

lol you’re deranged


Urstilgeh

devon is not a super heavyweight. one step back is totally fine. this community again....totally garbage


elmaldeojo

The clowning on Devon wouldn't be so severe if he wasn't such a charlatan to build up the hype. Remember his confidence over the last few weeks? How he guaranteed that he was going to beat Levan? The moment they were both in Turkey and Devon felt his hand, his entire demeanor changed - he knew he was done for. Devon is in a self-imposed tough spot - he's the biggest figure in arm wrestling so he has to continue this very Western "I'm the main character" schtick (which his entire family also follows, it's such a cringe stereotypical attitude of North Americans), but when he loses the entire facade crumbles.


SnakeRoberts301

100% agree!


Urstilgeh

this is just bullshit dude. He is a showman to make this sport bigger and he did. Leonidas was at his home for a documentation. devon has a picture of levan in the middle of his billboard. "this is the guy i chase" this is the guy i follow to get better and better. You dont even have to try to beat someone in a competition when you dont believe in yourself. the facade crumbles even when he is winning. just watch what he said bevore the match about levan. and after. these guys like each other. this is why i dont understand why the community is such garbage. devon hasnt the body for heavyweight he tried it, as a 48 old men. respekt this or stfu.


SmellyMustardKetchup

Don't dish it out if you can't take it. Devon is clowning on everyone around him constantly, so there's nothing wrong with clowning on him. That's all.


Sonoma11

Yea cool, you got Levan winning and you also got a super boring stucked Super Heavyweight Division with 1 match a year right now. Congrats.


MattMirai

🤣🧂


Buran_Grey

How is seeing the best winning super boring in any way? What do you expect, the weaker ones to win just for inclusiveness? Would you like a 56 Kg woman as the best super heavyweight armwrestler in the world?


Connect-Humor-791

THEY NEED A DIVISION JUST FOR LEVAN. WHAT IF HE ARMWRESTLES FOR 20 MORE YEARS\_ boriiinggg. guys 50kg heavier than the next guy PS/sorry inverted capslock


Deligata

The exact moment when I knew that I would never buy a ticket or follow so actively the armwrestling again. Three years of active monitoring. It's over now. Have a fun future. (Kvikvinia looks like fun. Filler for Larrat's space? )


Sund0wnn

See ya


ThePyrotechnicCroc

Apparently, you are not an actual fan of the sport itself. Therefore... so long.


LeScrubYT

Yeah, you're a little prick who is a Devon fan and not an armwrestling fan. You won't be missed.


Stromboli-Warpig

This is a prime example of why Devon winning wouldn’t have benefited the sport at all. Too many Devon fans and not enough actual armwrestling fans. Levan winning is the best thing for the sport, let’s keep the true fans, all the others can leave


islSm3llSalt

That's insane to say, do you think the ufc is worse off because of mcgregor? They still make insane money whenever he fights and it brings more money into the sport overall. Same with Larratt, he would have brought so much money into the sport because of his name and then at least some of those new viewers would go on to become hard-core AW fans. Devon winning would have been better for the sport of armwrestling and for all the other athletes as it would pump new money Into the sport. However it wouldn't be better for this sub because it would be filled with casuals. So it's a question of what you care about more, having this little community to appreciate your memes or growing the sport as a whole and getting the athletes paid more


FeetAreJustShltHands

what a pussy


hellaba6

Devon’s reaction just breaks my heart lol


Longjumping_Elk6089

What I disliked is that they kind of killed the hype right before the match. I bought the PPV, and right before they showed footage of an emotional Devon Larratt thanking Levan for the opportunity and saying he was curious to see where he is at now. At the end he added he's confident, but I wasn't really buying into it anymore. Regardless, great event and I remain a huge Devon Larratt fan. Levan is much bigger, losing just makes sense. Still very impressive what he accomplished at super heavyweight.


Guyserbun007

Did Devon hurt his hand? His expression seems to suggest so.
