I think OMalley VS Haney might happen in boxing....

[ExitLUPin]

Dana mentioned he was in for something boxing related but we were left to speculate. I think its Sean boxing Haney.



Haney is in limbo after the Ryan fight. Tank and Haney aren't fighting. There aren't any other names in the division beside Teofimo I guess but his stock is low now.

For Sean UFC fastracked him and avoided tough matchups. They even gave Chito one of the most undeserved shots of all time in hopes Merab would lose and not be booked against Sean.

Seans next MMA fight would have to be a Henry, Cory, Fig, Yan rematch who he robbed horribly. All tough fights which could lower his stock even more. Dana and Sean probably think Haney is beatable and chinny well he is chinny for sure but I can see Dana being down for this Seans next MMA fight would be a tough one and if he loses again it'd hurt his stock big. I think they go for the Hail Mary and see if he can somehow beat Haney in boxing.

I don't know if Dana's heart can take another prominent UFC fighter losing a boxing match. Especially one he likes!

Alternative is him likely losing his next MMA fight which might be worse and make less money assuming Zuffa boxing is involved in finances for a Haney fight.

If Sean loses to Henry, Yan, Fig, Cory..... That would do more damage and make less money. They cant give Sean an easy matchup for his next fight like Chito for that fake title defense.

Sean absolutely needed to beat Merab to even get the UFC to half consider allowing him to take a boxing fight. A champion O'Malley vs Tank Davis might have done enough money to get Dana to be interested, especially since he seems into boxing now.

No way will a non-champ O'Malley vs a boxing laughing stock Haney drum up enough business for it to be worth it now.

 

[svmr_db]

Dana will have zero interest in this especially with O'Malley coming off a loss lol. O'Malley is the one saying he'll be out for the next 9+ months & getting surgery etc too.

 

[The Blue Bird]

Lmao ain’t no way

 

[pick999]

Haney acting like Ryan didn't embarrass him

 

[Hitdepruns]

Haney vs Sean?... 0 interest.

 

[Corrado Soprano]

O’Malley got outbox by Merab.

 

[Goatenstein]

That would be an extremely easy comeback fight for Haney.

 

[payton]

Haney acting like Ryan didn't embarrass him

Ryan was juiced to the gills. Doesn't count.

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Lmao.

UFC contracts.

 

[laleggenda27]

1. Easy fight for Haney. Wouldn't be remotely competitive.
2. Dana's not letting one of his biggest stars get embarrassed inside a boxing ring, so the point is moot. Conor/Mayweather was a one-and-done situation.

 

[MMA_AZ]

Both coming off losses and no one wants to see that fight happen. No fucking body

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

I'd think Garcia would be more likely than Haney, purely on Instagram followers

 

[PhilMcCavity]

 

[MEAN357]

Makes sense Haney wants to fight an actual clown after his last circus act of getting beat shitless by a part time fighter fulltime cokehead on roids lol

 

[King in the North]

This fight doesn’t sell at all

 

[blaseblase]

Pointless fight for either, wouldn't even sell that well. They both have things to accomplish in their own sport.

This not a fair take by any means and I am not saying the UFC did not give him opportunity's (just like Umar, Alex, Islam Tuporia) but to say he is not a killer is crazy. The dude fucks people up, go find screenshots of Yan, Aljo, and Chito after they fought Sean and tell me who you think is going to run over him? Merab beat everyone and was masterfull at avoiding him, something that no one has been able to do. If Sean's healthy I am not sure who is getting by him right now except maybe Ummar who is fighting Merab. The idea that the UFC is scrambling to get him relevent seems like personal hatred of the guy instead of what he does in the ring.
