Sean O’Malley next fight

[wolfss]

Apparently he’s gonna fight for the title. So… let’s say he loses. What happens then? Does he keep fighting high level contenders? Does he try to get back to the title or would he ask easy fights to pad his record more?

 

[Reffson]

He doesn't seem like the padding record type. If he gets a TS against Sterling, I'll look forward to that and take it from there.

 

[kingghidrah]

O Malley vs. Paddy, book it

 

[Joshuaace]

Sandhagen.

 

[runjay]

As far as I’m aware Dana is NOT giving him a title shot(?)

There's no more going back to fighting Moutinho or whatever his name was.

O Malley vs. Paddy, book it

2 weight classes apart - but I agree

similar sized

and one is due to lose abd one is due for superstardom

O malley wins but at least tgere is a path of victory for paddy - and a 2 weight class size advantage

Lol. 3c said it. The judges won’t know who to rob.

Has to fight high level contenders if he wants to keep getting paid.

After his performance against Yan, despite most thinking he lost, he did demonstrate he belongs at the top. Anyone who can have a fight that close with Yan is good to fight anyone in the top 5.

 

[Egészségére!]

O'Malley v Cruz would be good

 

[legedema]

let him fight Sandhagen first

 

[WalterSobchak]

Why would that guy fight for a title? Not a hater I just don’t get it.

Also FUCK YOU if you talk shit to me.

Because he beated the #2 guy?

Seems unlikely that he waits for the Sterling Cejudo fight to happen. Him vs Chito 2 would be nice. Sean was doing pretty well before the leg crap so I thinks it's winnable.

 

[HuskySamoan]

If Cejudo vs Aljo is actually happening I doubt Omalley sits out that long, I'd suspect they pair Omalley up with another striker though and not a guy like Simon or Merab. Probably Omalley vs Sandhagen or Omalley vs Chito II.

 

[genecop]

The UFC will continue to protect him, I don’t see a title shot in his future…at the least there shouldn’t be..

They should go back down and rebuild. You see lots of fighters get the title shot, lose , and then take a bunch of loses trying to stay up there.

That happens when you're trying to be on top sir.

 

[WHITEBELT JESUS]

Sandhagen.

Sandhagen and Barboza, two of the biggest choke artists in all of MMA.

 

[Diamond Dallas Poirier]

He won the title by beating Yan.

O'Malley > Yan > Sterling.

Not sure who his first defense will be against. Maybe they book the Chito rematch
