Highway robbery, fat piglet Dana put it in that call. :scust: Over 1/3 of the fight time was Yan controlling Sean on the ground and even in the exchanges O'Malley had success with on the feet he would immediately eat a nasty counter right afterwards. Aljo will ragdoll and backpack him easy if he gets thru Dillashaw :russell:

and ftr I'm completely fine if they start judging takedowns that don't lead to massive damage as trivial. But you have to be consistent.

At range like that you gotta take some to give some...that's why he was hit. Dorks never been in ring or cage. All respect to omalley he showed out I'm impressed but that complete lack of ground control really cannot be dismissed

Naw

Yan controlled him and Sterling has proven he can get the takedown early in the round
I was one of the few people that called Sterling over Yan in their last fight. So I am aware of what he can do.

You can see O'Malley was expecting a complete stand up fight against Yan. I think he prepares specifically for wrestling against Sterling. If he can get that distance management right he becomes a champion.

Hope Sterling doesn't go on a cursing spree this time if he wins during the post fight interview

Wasn't needed last time
