Media Sean O'Malley says no MW is matching Chimaev - wants him to go straight to 205 title fight

[Unheralded Truth]

Even though Khamzat just claimed the 185lb title and seems eager to get a first title defense, Sean O’Malley suggested already now that he should move up to 205lbs.

"What makes sense for Khamzat Chimaev? Does it make sense for him to fight at 185lbs again - or is he just too dominant? Does he go up to 205lbs? Ankalaev is fighting
Alex Pereira, even still it’s like, maybe Ankalaev vs Khamzat? That could be interesting, maybe, purely on how big Ankalaev is."

“I just don’t think there’s anything to break down against Sean Strickland, even Izzy as much as I fucking love Izzy, Imavov... they’re all strikers dude. You have to match
that skill of wrestling. He did all that to one of the best grapplers in the division. DDP has proved no slouch on the ground. What a fucking freak of nature. God!"

 

[MisfitsBR]

I don't understand this, if no one is a threat, just defend the belt a dozen times...

 

[HNIC215]

Everyone is beatable. No one is unstoppable.

Just need to find the right guy to challenge Khamzat.

Usman showed he is human.

 

[Get To Da Choppa]

Sean is out there having wrestling envy watching Khamzat

Everyone is beatable. No one is unstoppable.

Just need to find the right guy to challenge Khamzat.

Usman showed he is human.

And Gilbert Burns

Best I can do is once a year in the UAE

Yeah exactly, Khamzat has to defend the belt at least 3 - 4 x before going outside his division.

Yeah some people never learn and are eager to believe the opposite

 

[Arne Rud]

Better make a name for himself in the right devision, beat old records for most belts etc.

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Steam-roll couple more fellas before going up

But then again, the opponents are ripe for the pickin’ up there atm

Ank is a huge challenge and would be a badass title fight so he could go anytime too

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Dude went full Prime Anderson Silva in one fight... Hell , let him fight in both divisions...

 

[Thy]

I was startin to like o malley. And then he gotta go say shit like this.

 

[nonoob]

This macabre POS ain't makin' no more offers unless he's needing a new cellie.

 

[TITS]

There's one more left...

 

[Dobymick]

Hobocop will decapitate him

 

[TankAbbott4Eva]

I don't understand this, if no one is a threat, just defend the belt a dozen times...

Hell yeah, clean out the fuckin division (and fight at least 3 times a year)

why are you posting this 3 weeks after the video was posted?

ufc 319 was last month buddy

 

[fatchud]

this is why we'll never see people challenge the title defense record. nobody bothers sticking around to clean out divisions anymore, they just move up after one or two wins then go on to lose later. buncha divas ever since conor holding out for special shit.

Hobocop will decapitate him

As funny as it is, Robocop has the best chance at beating Khamzat at MW. Khamzat isn't going to overwhelm a BJJ world champion on the mat and Robocop is even larger than him physically.

I would like to see this matchup.

Same here. I was half joking in the sense that I knew it most people wouldn't take it seriously but I also believe he has the best chance. I hope he gets there in time so we can see this fight. Also, he always delivers great fights win or lose

He's a ways away from a matchup with Khamzat. Can't see him being any less than 3 wins away from a shot
