O'Malley blew his post-fight callout.

[MetaIIica]

Sean O'malley should have called out Merab since he's obviously the next contender in line and hyped the matchup, but instead Sean decides to call out Illia Topuria who's in a different division and the crowds reaction was silent, then after hearing the weak response from the crowd Sean says "...oh yeah or Merab too" but it was already too late at that point. Dude needs to stay at 135 for a little bit he acts like Conor but he's not even a quarter as witty on the mic.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Is anyone actually interested in seeing Sean vs Ilia?

I'm legit asking cause I don't give the slighest fuck about seeing these two compete against eachother.

Of course he wants to fight Illia. He doesn’t want to fight the takedown machine, Illia is far more up his alley. And the risk reward is great. If he loses, it wasn’t his weight class and he’s still champ, if he wins double champ. All win no loss

I’m definitely interested. Super fight, and should be a good one. But I don’t want it, it messes up the divisions and he hasn’t earned it, I want him to clear his division first.

Merab defiled Sean's Thriller Jacket.

O'Malley isn't gonna reward that wardrobe insult. Probably trying to make Merab squirm a bit for his Title Shot.

100% Sean needs to fight Merab.

I think Sean is still a bigger draw than Merab, so I won't be surprised if the UFC help Sean avoid Merab. They can have Sean sit out and try to convince Merab to schedule a fight, and then schedule Sean to fight 2 months after Merab's fight. More than likely Merab won't be able to do the turnaround, and even if he does he faces high risk of injury. Likewise if they find out that Merab is injured, they can just immediately schedule Sean to fight.

It's dirty, but if the UFC want to keep Sean as the 135 champion, they have ways to screw over Merab.

Seriously though idk how he beats boring ass merab. I'll never be a fan after that Aldo fight, but God damn is he effective. Reminds me very much of RDA going into that Pettis fight. Just able to put his foot on the gas for 25 minutes non stop no matter what you do or throw at them they just come forward

Ilia won't even want the fight yet anyways because he wouldn't want to take an opportunity away from his Georgian brother Merab. They can revisit the fight in a year or two if they both get a few title defenses.

 

[Fergelmince]

HIs boss is not interested in it. When asked about O'malley fighting Topuria - "I don't know about moving divisions...even Topuria was just talking about not fighting anybody in the division after just winning the title. That's crazy talk."

Forgot they were both georgians, would have been an easier fight and big name. Good for Illia, but he won’t want to screw Merab for that reason.

oh shit i didnt even know who that was

 

[TempleoftheDog]

I don’t think O’Malley is great at reading the room. But here we are talking about him. Even if it’s to say smarten up, and fight the next guy in line. With Dana’s reaction, I think O’Malley may lay off the super fight talk. If you notice nobody but O’Malley is actually doing it now.

I have the feeling some of these new champs were told to knock it off. Dricus, Islam, and Edwards all stopped their super fight call outa a little while ago. None of them is getting a free TS in another division. Which makes sense because they don’t deserve it. And all have legit challengers waiting for their TS in the division they are the champion of. Defend or vacate.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

he doesn't really want merab. merab is a tough matchup for him

 

[checktheknuckles]

Only reason why conor was hyped up was bc of the country pride. UFC gave him a golden road which added to the hype. But conor was never anything special even though nate diaz was 3 times bigger in that one fight.

Conor was never anything special? He's the highest paid fighter by far and has the highest grossing PPV cards. Conor is literally #1,2,3,4 for highest grossing PPVs

Merab first. If he beats Merab, go fight Illia. After that, assuming all goes well, Umar.

Bro should of called out his barber for that snowcone haircut

This is probably how he’s thinking about it but that doesn’t take into account the possibility that he takes a career altering beating in the process.

You wouldn't wanna see Ilia ventilate O'Malley69's head?

O'Malley literally handed Merab his jacket. Now he's going to hand over his belt to Merab, and his soul.
