Rumored O'Malley vs Cejudo to be announced soon?

[svmr_db]

Chito vs Suga for the interim would have made more sense.

Anyway, Suga sleeps the dork with a right straight down the pipe.

Perhaps but if you're the UFC (and hoping O'Malley wins) you'd probably rather he take his chances against a shorter guy who hasn't fought in 2.5 years vs iron chinned Chito Vera who will outcardio O'Malley if he doesn't get finished. Also they don't break up existing fights very often, Sandhagen vs Vera is already booked.

Man, Aljo really has to get it together. He was out a year after winning the belt. interim title made. Beats Yan. Great. Fights the ghost of TJ who can't throw a punch, wins in like 6 minutes, do damage then immediately says he needs like a year off to recover. Now he says he has a bicep injury, needs time. They're not gonna make a second interim belt in 2 years for Aljo. They're gonna strip him if he doesn't stop this shit.

I'm not shitting on him as a fighter, but he's gotta stop.

I mean, ring-rust IS a thing and it has been a while since CCC fought, but Henry doesn't seem like the kind of guy to half-ass his training. If he comes in even 80% of his former self, I think he brutalizes O'Malley easily.

Chito is a real problem in 5 round fights. Not only does he have unreal cardio, he's ridiculously tough. I don't see O'Malley being able to finish him. He could definitely win rounds, but if he starts to slow down in round 3 or 4, he's in trouble. Marlon vs Sandhagen is gonna be great tho.

 

[HNIC215]

I'd ballpark Cejudo around -225 or so

Hmm... I think it will be higher lol

Anyway, I will enjoy this fight as a fan. Can't wait for the back-and-forth trash talk and eventual scrap inside the cage.

Should be fun and entertaining!

This fight is a win-win and probably more entertaining whatever happens than Alijo/CCC.

Chito's fight IQ is better than ever, him knowing his strengths. He may get outworked early but his cardio seems endless, chin is ridiculous and he hits like a tank. He'll eat a few to land one.

Cejudo drops two belts. Whines about pay for years forsaking himself of more money. Turns into a perpetually yapping, worthless talking head. Posts online for what seems like ever about coming back. Then somehow walks right into a title shot?

You mix that with O’Malley getting the gift over Yan, TJ's shoulder injury, Sterling's torn bicep and the reality that Aldo got passed over for a guy who shouldn't have been allowed to even fight, gets stalled into bolivian at elevation in Utah, and then retired and we're stuck with this crap?

And with all that said, Chito deserves the shot more than Cejudo and he has a win over Sean. I would rather see that rematch than Henry walk right into a title shot without a win. He should be fighting Sandhagen, not Vera.

The UFC really fucked this up.

Preach.

Hell it should be Cory and Sandhagen realistically fighting for an interim or #1 contender.
CCC coming outta retirement vs a gift decesion O’Malley sound pretty weak.

i always like when cringe crumples

i always vividly remember cedujos blow dried hair shaking during this ko barrage.

Fucked what up? It hasnt been announced yet. Don't cry till it happens.

I don't think it will happen, personally. UFC learned from their gsp mistake, I hope

Cejudo at -225 is a steal. He should be -400ish imo

 

[Reffson]

I'm way more interested in Cejudo vs O'Malley than I am watching Henry fight for the proper title.

Cejudo should always have had to fight someone before facing Sterling.

I support this 100 %.

I also hope Sean kicks his ass.

Exactly. And it wouldn't surprise me to see Sean pick him apart and make him bleed.

Like the Sean/Yan fight? Yeah I won money on that.

Definitely not Cory fighting for the interim. He's on a 1 fight streak. He's had too many chances at this point. He needs to put a few wins together.
He fought Aljo for next shot, got finished in 1st.
Fought Yan for the interim, lost
Fought TJ for next shot, close fight but he lost.

Sorry a doctor's stoppage win (fight was 2 - 2 when stopped) over the number 8 guy does not get you another interim title shot in my book.

But hell yea, I'm still pissed they gave TJ that title shot over Aldo. What a joke.

I like cejudo but he only fought at 135 twice. Moraes whooped his ass in the first rd of their fight and dom is a good win but he hasn’t been the prime dom in awhile.

I'll never forgive TJ for robbing us of one last Aldo title fight. BW is a total shit show though, not sure why they're so intent on giving Cejudo a TS. Aljo/O'Malley at least had SOME credibility to it, no matter how dubious Sean's last win was.

 

[LoveMyMMA]

It's been ages since a big fight was announced.

Please announce one already.

 

[dildos]

Cejudo will destroy oMalley.

 

[pick999]

Glad to have Triple C back against whoever. Never understood why the UFC seemed to have so little interest in him.

Ufc is racist pretty obvious
