Mentions that they wanted to book it for the Nov 6th card, but O’Malley came out and said he doesn’t want to fight in New York due to taxes and his head coach having some BJJ tournament the same weekend.

Winnable fight for O’Malley against a high ranked, big name opponent. Frankie will be 40 in October and was finished pretty brutally in 2 of his last 3.

No wonder Rainbowhead turned it down <Lmaoo>

No wonder Sugar Shins made up some stupid excuses for turning down that fight already....

I knew Sugar would step up against an aging veteran.....I like the fight and I think Omally wins

Sugar Shin O'Malley

Feels like the correct fight

I think Edgar could win easily if he uses his wrestling. Still, he may be too shot to take heavy strikes by this point, so O’Malley would be really dangerous for him.

 

[El General]

Frankie wins easily. And that’s not because Frankie is on the comeback or gonna rise to the belt. He’s just still def a lot better than O’Malley. We will see Frankie landing takedowns with ease for the first time in a while.

Absolutely terrible style matchup for O'Malley. They know what they're doing with this one

Let face it nyc sucks for mma

 

[Guffman]

Frankie sends him back to the hospital.

 

[KazDibiase]

Every time they try to give the kid a chance to step up and put his money where his mouth is, he chickens out.

This is possible as well, O’Malley talked about getting paid his worth and all the eyeballs he brings in.

If he gets destroyed by a 40 year old Edgar he loses some value/leverage in negotiations.

Nice flex by the UFC. I suppose they need O'Malley checked.

 

[Krixes]

Frankie is damaged goods at this point. He could still win if he wrestle fucks him...

 

[ElLunico]

UFC really trying to spoon feed Sean favorable match ups.

This dude sure comes up with the lame excuses. He's like a bargain basement MVP. Rematch with Kris maybe?

Of course they want to give him the most chinny guy in the top ten because they're hoping at his size he catches him before he ends up on his back.

Typical UFC, building up young guys off of legends.
