Cory should fight Omalley

Sean is arguably the most underrated fighter on this forum.
I dunno, he seems to be well rated around here. He just is favored by the UFC, it's pretty blatant. He is not a bad fighter but I do not think he is as good as the UFC seems to wish he was
 
While I think Cory needs a win, Sean is coming off two losses against Merab. His recent fight with Yadong shouldnt earn him a fight with Yan even though he might get it. A lot of people thought he lost.

Cory also lost to Merab, but who else has he not fought yet? Zahabi is the only other one remotely close in ranking that Cory hasn't fought already. He has already fought Merab, Umar, Yadong, Figgy, Bautista and the division really drops off after that.

This is the kind of fight that would have already happened in the Joe Silva days, but the current matchmakers are avoiding the fight for whatever reason. My assumption is they are trying to preserve Seans star power because they know Cory is more towards the end of his career and if Sean gets the title again its good for business.

I think Cory beats his ass and is better everywhere apart from 1 punch KO power.
Martinez & Oliveria are not a drop in compitition. He got a win off of freak injury on Figgy it wasnt a full fight. Him and Mario fought over 6 years ago when Mario was an mma baby not some contender he is now it's a completely fresh fight.

Surprised how many think Cory would win this fight, it's a toss up in my eyes. Great style clash. It's #3 and #4, also 2 guys who are out of title shot picture. I'd settle for Yan rematch or Umar fight. Think Sean shouldn't get one more unless Yan really wants it. Sean has a bunch of good fights, I was disappointed Song was the choice.
