Ah yes of course, think Islam should headline that oneUFC Saudi Arabia March 2nd
Might as well have Ronald McDonald vs The Burger King, winner gets Wendy’s affection. Amounts to pretty much the same thing.Back in November, DW announced a number of PPVs to headline the first 3 UFC events of the year. To me, the first 2 made sense, but I was confused with the booking of UFC 299s headliner between O’Malley and Vera 2.
Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t a criticism of the matchmaking (as it is the biggest matchup you could give Sean), but surely a fight of this type would have been better placed on UFC 300, which based on recent debunked reports (Mcgregor and Poatan), is looking quite thin of star power. Having a guy like O’Malley in his most heated match would really help the card from a Ppv standpoint.
Also, ufc 300, alongside UFC 200 and UFC 100, will probably draw +1mil Ppv buys if history is anything to go buy. Dana keeps expressing how big a star O’Malley is but his Ppv to date wouldn’t suggest this. Having him on a card like 300 could be the star making move that would give Daba what he’s looking for in O’Malley.
Obviously, the question arises that what you replace UFC 299s current headliner with, and the answer seems obvious. The LW champ will be inactive during Ramadan (when UFC 300 is) and has mentioned his desire to fight before then, specifically in March on the 299 card. And in regards to potential matchups, both Gaethje and Oliveira have expressed a desire to fight in Q1 of next year.
In regards to star potential, Islam averages 600000 Ppv buys, Gaethje 650 and Charles 700+. O’Malley in his only title fight to date, has between 350-570, so numbers would suggest UFC 299s Ppv would increase with this switch.
Ultimately, the UFC have a plan in mind, and we need to as fans trust the process. Just throwing my two cents in as any standard opinionated sherbro. With that, I’m curious to know what you sherbros think?
Sounds like an excuse.that was O'malley 1.0

It’s more about Islam. Would you rather have him fight before ramadan or wait? We know he’ll probably just have one fight if he fights after ramadan in 2024Why would they? Neither Chito nor O'Malley are draws.
Ah yes of course, think Islam should headline that one
SaudiSA card? South America or South Africa I presume
Mally will be scared of getting embarrassed again. He’ll chokeChito slow starting ass is not koing anybody lol

Did you see the first fight? O'malley got wrecked in 10 seconds from guard.Chito slow starting ass is not koing anybody lol
LW championship fights are always bigger events than 135 and always will be. It’s a more stacked division.Islam fights generate much more attention than O'Malley at this moment in time, O'Malley vs Aljo didn't sell well, Islam vs Gaethje is a much bigger fight
Put the full gif up where he grabs the wrong part of his shin for the injury he apparently sustained...
