I Really Hope O’Malley vs. Sandhagen Happens Soon

[Gabe]

Don’t get me wrong I’m complete on board with Merab being the number one contender, but for some reason a fight between O’Malley and Sandhagen actually intrigued me more. Cory might/might not be able to hang with Sean on the feet and Sean might/might not be able to stop Sandhagen’s sneaky grappling. Sandhagen has the perfect everyman personality to compliment O’Malleys flashy and cocky aura. I hope both of these guys keep winning just so they can fight for the belt this year. Stylistically one of the best fights at 135.

 

[Chivas GDL]

O Malley 50 - 44

As long as Merab gets the shot first, totally fine with a Sandhagen TS and he doesn't even need another win to deserve it - 3 wins in a row over Yadong, Chito, and Font already qualify him

This would be a great striking battle. One of the best ones on paper in the UFC

This fight would be dynamite for sure. I'm not sure if we'll ever see it, but I hope we do some day.

 

[Broke Lester]

I like it, similar styles, same height, but Suga has a slight reach advantage.

Well, if O’Malley beats Merab, and Sandhagen beats Umar. You’ll get your wish. Or if they both lose. They might make that fight.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Sandhagen by sub...

 

[KOPPE]

I'd love to see this fight but Merab should be next

Sounds like a boring fight stylistically. I don't get why fans are still drooling over the Anderson/Lyoto fantasy matchup. I don't get why fans are hyping up Wonderboy vs MVP now. And this one.

These fights would suck. Stylewise. Great strikers though.

 

[McGeezle]

I really don't like this umar fight

 

[Fjord]

Merab first.

How do you think those fights will suck sir?

 

[MDoza]

Ya, this is definitely the fight to make if O’Mallet can get past Merab.

Sandhagen has the height/reach to match O’Malleys, and can threaten with both grappling and striking.

 

[SeattleFightFan]

Sandhagen will try to bully and O'Malley will try to keep range.

A very tactical bout.

 

[The_Renaissance]

It's the fight I wanna see. I think Cory and Umar are bigger threats to SOM than Merab but I also would like to see how that one plays out. It's three intriguing challenges to SOM. Which makes me think he somehow fights Cejudo next.

 

[witt1021]

winner of umar vs sandman fights winner of omalley vs merab.

 

[Skarsgard]

They won't match Sean with a guy like Cory outside of a title fight. They already showed they want to protect their investment unless they have no other choice.

How do you think those fights will suck sir?

Because stylistically they're bound to suck. Did you see Wonderboy vs Till?

Even in all of boxing history, putting two counter fighters against eachother is no fun. Even MVP admitted to it.

Merab is a harder fight for Sean.

Come on.

Sean will beat TF out of Cory.
