Hell yeah! Merab, like Belal might deserve a shot, but this would be an absolute banger. The lead up alone would be fun af.Is anyone actually interested in seeing Sean vs Ilia?
I'm legit asking cause I don't give the slighest fuck about seeing these two compete against eachother.
Ok Conor is a special hype job. Fighting he definitely was basic as fuck.Conor was never anything special? He's the highest paid fighter by far and has the highest grossing PPV cards. Conor is literally #1,2,3,4 for highest grossing PPVs
He had a string of impressive wins which catapulted him to stardom. He was knocking out everyone in his UFC run, then he knocked out Chad Mendes, then Jose Aldo in 5 seconds, lost to nate, then he knocked out eddie. It was not just one thing that made Conor huge it was a variety of factors some of which are skills Omalley just doesn't have such as being witty on the mic. If Omalley went out there and KO'd Chito then we'd be talking differently.Ok Conor is a special hype job. Fighting he definitely was basic as fuck.
His accent is what got him far imo. You know the Americans be loving their accents.Only reason why conor was hyped up was bc of the country pride. UFC gave him a golden road which added to the hype. But conor was never anything special even though nate diaz was 3 times bigger in that one fight.
Of course he wants to fight Illia. He doesn’t want to fight the takedown machine, Illia is far more up his alley. And the risk reward is great. If he loses, it wasn’t his weight class and he’s still champ, if he wins double champ. All win no
Anyone who wants to see sean put to sleep likes that matchupIs anyone actually interested in seeing Sean vs Ilia?

Sean O'malley should have called out Merab since he's obviously the next contender in line and hyped the matchup, but instead Sean decides to call out Illia Topuria who's in a different division and the crowds reaction was silent, then after hearing the weak response from the crowd Sean says "...oh yeah or Merab too" but it was already too late at that point. Dude needs to stay at 135 for a little bit he acts like Conor but he's not even a quarter as witty on the mic.
And there's highlights of all his spectacular knockouts. Conor was on a really good run even with the Diaz loss, until the Khabib fight. Sean couldn't even finish Chito while Conor was dropping these champions left and right while being a wizard on the mic and making perfect callouts to build his hype further, unlike Omalley calling out the wrong person in a diff weight class. You can't say Conors only attribute was being Irish because he was knocking out multiple champions back to back.And the three most played highlights of him are getting finished by Nate diaz while champ, finished by kahbib after talking mad shit, and finished by DP. Irish pride and fake American Irish heritage is what got conor to the level of popularity he was at. That's not saying he wasn't a good fighter.
I would rather see Sean fight Ilia than Merab. Merab is a great fighter, but he is a decision machine that is not especially exciting to watch(he is a great fighter though). And people can hate on O'Malley all they want, but he has some pretty good fights. Same with Illia.Is anyone actually interested in seeing Sean vs Ilia?
