Emmett is arguably a better win than KZ considering he was on a 5 fight win streak and on the verge of a title shot. Yair looked good in the Ortega fight but shitty ending. Not Yair's fault. Also the close fight with Holloway is more impressive than beating KZ and Ortega anyways.Yair 2 big wins came on flukes. Ortega shoulder and a freak last minute wide elbow on Zombie when KZ. Was dominating. Omalleys 1 big win is a trash decision v Yan. Both are crazy overated n aren't serious title contenders till they get better. Volk will decimate Yair and Sterling decimate Omalley.

So then is Max Hollaway an Ortega nothing then? Untill the shoulder it was a close fight and was a really close fight with Hollaway. I put both right there with Yan.Cmon. Not really a big O Malley fan but one guy losing every minute of a fight except the final second isn't really comparable to having a razor close fight with clear #2 Bantamweight in the world.
One paints a clear picture of being overrated the other doesn't.

When did you (wrongly) conclude that hype is purely based on merit?Why does O'Malley have hype when Yair exists, doing way more interesting shit in a tougher division?
Yeah Max took him down at will and beat him up for 5 rounds on route to an easy UD. I get it UFC has this fetish with pushing Mexican MMA right now but this dude doesn't even have a shot. Volk will maul him with ease.lmao you did not watch that fight
He has lots of fan and lots of haters. People get bent when his name comes up.Does he have a polarising persona? He seems like a dirty geek with coloured hair that can fight
Completely agree. Yair always puts on a show but he is a strange character and often a drama queenHe's grown on me recently but I see why his hype wasn't there. He hasn't been that active these past few years. He pulled out versus Zabit twice which sucks. The whole USADA thing where he kept missing tests and then got suspended. The whole debacle with the jeremy stephens NC where he had a bad attitude + his hometown fans were being trash and throwing trash. Since the Ortega and Emmett fights though he seems more likeable on the mic and in general. It's almost too late for the UFC "machine" to start building him up since it's make it or break it with this championship fight.
Compared to O'malley though, yea, way more hype. He gets finishes and his fights are exciting. But part of the hype machine is what you do outside of the cage and how you are perceived on media day and after fights/
