Cory is great fighter, but he can't beat the elite of the division. Some people thought he should have got the TJ fight but none the less all of his losses in the UFC have came against Champions(except Umar, who has solid chance by the end of his career).

I'd like to see him against Sean. Both are in the perfect position to fight each other, although I don't think Sean wants this fight. He is so use to being the taller lankier guy and I think Cory has a more well rounded stand up game.

Who do you have?

I think they are close right now and there were great times for them to fight, but right now, Sean is in front of Cory and should be looking forward, and Cory is behind and looking back.

We're likely doing Yan - Merab again, which makes the best eliminator (unfortunately) Umar - Sean.

Sandhagen vs Zahabi could be good though.

You mean Title Eliminator Umar - Sean ?

You mean to say all of his losses in the UFC have came vs Champions
 
I want to see it, but as others have said, O'Malley isn't fighting anyone except Yan. Cory needs to fight soon and then call him out and hope Merab beats Yan. That's the only way he'll get it.
 
That would be a fight a lot of people want to see.

I think Uncle Dana wants to preserve both of their careers as long as possible though.
Great idea. Have them fight when they're has beens.

Or do it fresh so whom either loses is young enough to get a lively rematch.
 
Corey gotta earn a top fight he's got no business with o'malley until he wins a few.
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.
