O'malley faceplants Aljo in round one

[Poatan]

Its just too much pressure for Aljo. O'malley lures Aljo into exchange and faceplants him in round one. Size and speed difference is inevitable. Seans grappling is also very underrated. O'malley takes title and i think he holds that title long time. Hes such a massive guy for that division that i could easily see him moving up to 145 and being dog top there aswell.

That’s a bold prediction, if it does happen, Sherdog will melt down like Chernobyl

O'Malley has poor TDD, below average grappling for a top ranked BW and has brittle legs, he's the perfect fighter for Aljo to look amazing against.

I expect Aljo is going to beat his legs up and then dominate him on the ground, might get a TKO or submission too since O'Malley's grappling is a big step down from most of Aljo's opponents. O'Malley's brittle legs and poor GnP defense(watch the Vera and Yan fights to see O'Malley's poor GnP defense) makes a TKO for Aljo a lot more likely than normal.

Why is there so much pressure on Aljo? If O'malley loses he most likely never gets a titleshot again in the talent filled BW division.

 

[Dorkman]

Would make for an interesting division shake up. But I doubt it

Post the bet slip! I have 400$ on O’Malley in under 2.5 ko/tko

He dislikes Sean and knows that his path to victory is very narrow.

Pretty much this. He can catch Aljo, but it seems unlikely.

Smash those legs of the human Pixie stix.

Have you been following the UFC lately? He'll fight two favourable matchups in the lower end of the top 10 and get his shot. Hell he could just sit out for 2 years after a loss and get a free title shot.

O'Malley has this hype with his striking so Aljo should just fight going 100% for takedowns. Like not throw a single punch just to piss everyone who was expecting something that could've happen. Do a complete anti-fight and embrace the heel.

This is the fight for Aljo to help elevate himself in the eyes of the fanbase. It's a nice stylistic matchup for him (imo).

To get a perfect clean, dominant win and look good doing it. Hopefully in a finish.

Na, throw kicks with impunity cause O'Malley will never go for a takedown. Beat the legs up from the outside while setting up takedowns also throw head and body kicks, rinse and repeat till a finish or dominant decision.

This place would be insufferable for months to come. Gawd can’t allow that.

Lol O’Malley is a popular American fighter, he’ll get title shots until the day that he dies.

The only way he doesn’t is by declining out of fear when Umar is champion.

 

[John makfresshi]

For the record I think Aljo beats up Suga Sean from the outside before snatching him up and beating on him for a couple rounds. Then after a couple rounds he thinks he’s ready to trade and gets fucking dummied by something hard and violent. Suga Sean champion of the world via ko in the early part of round 3

 

[Mind Mine]

O’Malley looking spectacular in standup is dependent on an opponent ready to play his game. Aljo is very slick about picking his shots. Very tentative and patient. Not looking good for O’Malley at all. If Aljo has no intent on putting on a show for the fans expect a boring affair of Aljo carefully picking his shot and backpacking by Round 2. Wash and repeat. By Round 4 O’Malley is checking the clock. Looking at the ref like get this guy off of me. In the 5th round Aljo now wants to punch. O’Malley being a shell of himself at this point gets beat up. This is the likely exact fight that will occur

 

[BanWMMA]

Haha no way in hell Sterling stands with him. He’ll get backpacked and subbed

 

[I WILL CUT YOU]

I'm not an Aljo fan but he isn't a washed, shot Eddie Wineland.
