People crying about OMalley tonight

Nah I like MMA. I like fighting. Taking someone down and holding them and stopping them from moving is not fighting. Punching, kicking, choking... this is violence; you should be trying to cause damage or go for a finish. Smothering someone is neither of those things, it's just stalling and stopping the action. It's like holding in boxing. they should break that shit up. Would love to see a ban on this kind of wrestling tbh.
Good job Merab was doing punching, kicking, choking then

Whilst Sean couldn't do shit

People directing their ire at the wrong person
 
Merab nearly finished Omalley in 2 rounds via ground and pound. He only held him at the end of the 2nd and end of the 5th.
The rest of the time he was landing ground and pound in the exchanges against the cage and had Omalley face down covering up on multiple occasions.
The fact that people say they are OK with grappling just not boring lay n pray is undone by their child like reactions to this match

Merab was teeing off against OMally against the cage

It wasn't all lay and pray like they pretend

They just can't take a wrestler beating a striker they like who has been ultimately found out as being massively deficient in major aspects of MMA
 
He looked like he wanted out a few times, but I will give Omalley credit he didn't quit during that fight.
I am waiting for the injury excuses, but the reality is, he just can't deal with someone who won't lead and let him counter.
The same thing was happening in the Pedro fight.
Pedro was happy to sit at range and just counter him and Omalley couldn't get going.

The takedowns won him the fight, but the gameplan is there now. Counter takedowns, movement and making Omalley have to lead.
Hopefully we see him and Sandhagen next.
I thought it before and I'm more convinced now

Sandhagen destroys him

Where did I say anything about Merab? Stop being so insecure. Not everything is about your little boyfriend.

I was responding to your general notion of this thread.
 
Sean was very manufactured and essentially got a title shot because he survived the distance and was competitive vs one top 10 ranked opponent, even though he clearly didnt win. I'd have expected people to have been kind of happy that he lost and found some entertainment value in seeing it. Or do you just want a bunch of manufactured stand and wangers as champs?
As clearly shown in the past 48 hours or so, a disturbingly high number of posters here actually do. Because striking's the only thing that makes mixed martial arts real. Or something.
 
Sean was fine it was just a terrible match up for him - Merab does that shit to everyone.

Sean found success with the body work late but it was far too late. He did his best.

Sean isn't my cup of tea but I don't think he should be disparaged - Merab is an animal.
Merab should definitely not be disparaged and that's going on much more than sean
 
You guys advocating for laying praying, wall pushing, and stalling in MMA are some of the biggest weirdos ever

I still don't know if it's a ''LoOk aT mE iM a hArDcOrE FaN cUz I PrEfeR GrApPlInG!!!" thing or if its just trolling/rage bait.

Losers either way
 
I didn't expect Herb to call out Sean so early for cheating. He let him get away with a lot more blatant cheating against Yan.

The "let's work" when Merab is clearly advancing position and landing strikes was also strange. Herb's refereeing and the two 48-47's tells me a Canelo fix was in place.
Yea I don't understand how two judges gave Sean round 3. Might need to rewatch, but I don't recall Sean mounting anything meaningful that round.

Sounds like you must be legally blind. I'd get that checked out.

Merab did no damage. Merab was the one hurt to the body. Pretty sure Merab had a broken nose. Merab did nothing but hold O'Malley down just enough to win.

How could you NOT understand that? A bunch of us were saying in the live PPV thread that Sean obviously won round 3. The only people that think Sean lost round 3 are O'Malley haters that wanted Merab to win. People need to check their bias at the door when they talk about stuff like this.

The judges scored that correctly under modern evolving MMA scoring criteria. Takedowns + control give ZERO POINTS if you do not do damage. You can take someone down and hold them down for 4 minutes of a round, but if you do zero damage and they stand up + land 2-3 good punches, they win the round. That's how it is and that's how it should be.
 
man you stink. you have low iq and your takes SUCK. Fuck Merab that little EPO goblin and fuck you too
You are low IQ shity fat loser who has never achived anything important in his life i can bet my life u would not be brave enough to tell merab "fuck you" face to face bcs u are cocksucker loser who jerk offs on his mom and acts like dick on internet to feed his ego

You are clearly one of the most butthurt tick toK warriors

Tears are delicious

LOL ok bud. I don't have a shit tok account or even a twitter, but nice try.

Sounds like you are in denial of reality. O'Malley won rounds 3 & 5 pretty clearly and 2 of the judges obviously saw that. It must be hard living an existence where you can't accept reality.
 
Neither of them should.


It was a competitive fight.
I agree with the first line, not the second.

Omalley didn't win a single round, Maybe round 5 if you stretch as far as you can

Give Sean his bong back goof ball

I'm not hating, but also don't agree.

Two Champions lost their titles in 5 round decisions, and both still had gas in the tank at the end.

That alone is enough for both the fans and the fighters themselves to be pretty darned disappointed with the performances.

Do you really think both of them just stopped trying? Come on.. lets use our brains. They are fighting for their livelihood. They gave it everything they had.

You can be disappointed that their opponent had better skills, don't be disappointed in the fighters' efforts though. I promise you they were trying lol
