Media Ali wants Umar to give Suga a title fight after he beats Merab

Would be bullshit imo. Winner of Yan vs Fig deserves title shot.

 

[RockyLockridge]

yeah of course he does.


ali is a scumbag rat fuck who ruins this sport with his horrible management tatics. He's why you get garbage like Masvidal vs Usman 2 and Subsequently, Colby vs leon.


If Suga deserves a rematch so much, Why not just give him one now?

Oh because he's not your fighter, that's why. What a fuckin rat.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

lol of course he does. he wants an easy pay cheque and win bonus for his fighters so he can cash his commission. I think he gets 5-15% of all his fighters purse

 

[ninja boot]

No shit Ali lol.
He has a blueprint to direct his managerial fee in every notable fight possible.
Ali reminds me of the weasel manager of every antagonist in every underground fighting, boxing movie in history.

 

[Joinho10]

OMG NOOO a manager wants to get his client the biggest fight available.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

No doubt , biggest name in the division that Umar should out wrestle.

 

[Last Falconry]

someone please get this man a hat. In addition to hearing from him it seems cruel to make me look at him too. his head looks like it's giving birth to another head

Would be bullshit imo. Winner of Yan vs Fig deserves title shot.

#8 ranked Khalil Rountree fought for a title this past weekend and we all watched. Do you really think meritocracy matters anymore in the UFC, lol?

 

[Lycandroid]

O'Malley as the dominant champ he was surely deserves a rematch

 

[richardjohnson]

We’ve gotta get Merab to stop ducking before we worry about who fights for the belt afterward

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Fuck no.

We already had Gynosanya fighting after coming of a loss just to get choked the fuck out.

Cringe

 

[RockyLockridge]

O'Malley as the dominant champ he was surely deserves a rematch

Yeah his completely manufactured title defense settles it

 

[AmonTobin]

You’ll fight whoever UFC wants you to fight.
*Checks notes*
Oh. They want you to fight Sean O’Malley.

 

[Alpha_T83]

It's not Umar or Ali's choice. If Umar beats Merab convincingly and there's no rematch, it is up the UFC if O'Malley is next to fight for the title. If he is, Umar can either defend against O'Malley or vacate.

 

[MarioLemieux]

Dumb fight but Dana will go for it he loves O'Malley.

 

[The Siege]

It's not Umar or Ali's choice. If Umar beats Merab convincingly and there's no rematch, it is up the UFC if O'Malley is next to fight for the title. If he is, Umar can either defend against O'Malley or vacate.

I think a lot of fans overestimate how much control fighters have over matchmaking.

If the UFC doesnt want that matchup or want a specific matchup, then it's going to happen no matter if you are an unranked nobody or the biggest star in the history of the sport, Conor McGregor.

Merab will fight who the UFC wants him to fight. Umar the same. Same with Poatan (which is why I don't really blame him for the Khalil side-quest he did).
