Petr Yan accuses the UFC of showing favoritism toward Sean O’Malley

The guy that got a title eliminator by eyepoking the one ranked fighter he had fought?
That got a favorable title defences instead of the most deserving contender?
That got an immidiate rematch after losing the belt just by waiting around for the champion to defend his belt once?

The UFC is showing favoritism toward that guy? Preposterous.

Why would Yan waste his time participating in MMA Math that ultimately disparages himself?
Also Yan was having his way with Aljo before the dumb knee in the first fight. Since you’re talking about people not mentioning things.

because he's acting like O'Malley got served the title on a silver platter and never had to beat anyone good. yet he beat the guy who Yan couldn't beat, and he did it easily. why not say it? he already said some unbelievably stupid stuff by saying the UFC fixes fights lmao.

who gives a shit what Yan did in the first fight? in the 2nd MORE RECENT FIGHT he got his ass kicked and grounded by Aljo. O'Malley smoked him. it's not MMAth it's giving props to a person when it is DESERVED. you can't bring up all the negative shit when he literally did something you couldn't. that's the point. i don't even care for O'Malley, but O'Malley isn't Bo Nickal, O'Malley is a legitimate top fighter.

Do you score round 1 O' Miley for landing a few jabs or to Petr for all the takedowns.

Round 2 Sean does land a near knock down but besides that the whole round is a dominant beat down for Petr.

Round 3 Sean definitely wins but it's competitive unlike round 2.

Overal Petr was the better man.

Ask Khabib.
 
Yan does need to say the quiet part out loud and state the obvious. The UFC brass thinks we're all idiots and not able to see the bull. Need fighters to publicly speak on these issues more.
 
Sean basically got a title shot for surviving the distance and being more competitive than expected against a single top opponent. Credit where its due he got the job done against Aljo in impressive fashion, but then was given a bit of a soft touch defence, then got dominated by Merab and is now about to get an undeserved rematch. Its pretty clear the UFC want him at the top and will do anything they can to engineer it. He doesnt really have the skills to be the long term champ they want him to be though.

I just put him on ignore, he's an idiot imo. He's like 1 out of 2 Jones fans that they have left on here, that should tell you all you need to know.

I go with Dom Cruz's criteria for a takedown to warrant points. Holding on to someone and doing no damage shouldn't be rewarded. But I'll concede. The control was done by Yan but the damage was done by O'Malley.

I would have to rewatch it. I am on the side of takedown with 0 damage ans submission threads or dominat positions to be less than landing punches. I would have to rewatch it. Unfortunate that a close round goes to Sean, than the other 2 are split but Petrs was more dominant. That's the hole in round by round scoring. Overal I am claiming Yan did more. Am not mad at it, Sean fought well.

But the Aljo losses. That pisses me off. Ruins a dominant victory with the knee. Dq loss. Than losses by split over the first round that they both were inactive in.

All good. 135 has multiple top fighters.
 
Obviously if you bring more money, you'll get more chances. To my knowledge that's how it works in most businesses.

I agree. I thought second Aljo and Yan fight was determined by control. No one did shit to hurt the other imo. Sean (and I can't stand his gimmick) did more in trying to damage Yan. As opposed to winning by control. Sidenote, Im not a GSP hater but his later title wins were more or less about control over damage. Always looked beat up compared to the opponent he just dominated. Sometimes optics matter in who won a fist fight. Again. Imo

GSP had found his recipe and kept using it as long as it worked. He did give us a treat in the comeback at MW. That was a banger.
