How would O'Malley vs Sandhagen go?

Flashy AF, would watch for sure, 5 rounds co-main or fight night main.
 
Stylistically this is one of the best fights in the UFC period imo. Definitely would watch.

Tough call, O'Malley seems hot on himself right now, hard to bet against that confidence.
 
Sandhagen is very effective and damaging but his output is sort of crap. If he doesn't put O'Malley out, he likely loses a decision. He always finds ways to disappoint in his fights. Losing to a broken TJ like that just really makes me doubt his potential unless he really changes his gameplans around.
 
Let's say it's 5 rounds. Both have pretty similar builds but very different attributes. I think prior to O'Malley fighting Yan most were saying Sandhagen was superior to O'Malley, does that popular opinion still hold?

I think the the impressive attributes Omally holds over the division, he lacks in contrast to Sandhagen. Omally got a bogus win vs Yan but he did well regardless of corrupt judges. He deserves a shot.

If he beats Sandhagen, he deserves a title shot.

You must be new. He isn't going to get saved by corrupt judges again.

"Omally, did you win?"


Crickets!
 
Sick fight, and I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up happening next.

You have to think the UFC believes Aljo would absolutely drown Suga
 
I honestly would have preferred Sean vs Corey or even Rob Font, exciting as the fight was. Would also have been a good fight and wouldn't have this weird jump from fringe rankings to #1

Why do people like keeping the strikers away from the grapplers? Do you see who the champion is? Both Sandhagen and Omalley are pretty untested on the mat vs good grinders, so is Cheetoh. Why not start pairing some of these guys up with Simon? Merab? Umar? Saidyokub? Why haven't any of them fought guys like Stamann or Barcelos on their ways up? Just weird to me.

I thought Yan eeked it out but it's not the robbery everybody was trying to make it out to be. Kid outclassed the consensus best hands in the division and you're dying on the Sandhagen hill. New indeed.

Yan is well rounded, sure, but he's not a top grappler himself and beating him didn't prove Sean can take Sterling, so I fail to see what the problem here is, especially as Yan could get him a title shot, while a Corey or Rob would mean Sean would still need to fight someone else.

I'm not saying Sean SHOULD have fought a top guy, but only Merab on that list fits the bill in comparison to Yan
 
Sandhagen would probably break him in a 5 rounder, Omalley could win a 3 round fight tho
 
Why should O'Malley fight anyone but Aljamain now - he just made it all the way to no1 contender >



Zero top 10 wins prior to squeaking out a controversial SD vs Yan and he goes straight to the top. It's the Conor bubble all over again.

It's very convenient....almost like it's intentionally done by the UFC.

Even Khamzat, who had MW wins and a win over Leech, jumped to beat #2 and still doesn't have a title shot. But watch Sterling vs Rainbow Dash get scheduled tomorrow

One of the worst robberies ever in the sport.

It's no longer about fighting. Get a pod. Join clown college. Get a face tattoo. Suddenly bogus decisions by corrupt judges.



I didnt know??? <Lmaoo><45>

Because he closes his eyes before every other fight?

Where's his tiktok dance? <Moves>

Saved by corruption judges. I also blame Yan for leaving it to the judges. Huge win despite the robbery.
