Sean O'Malley

[MMA]

I wasn't wowed with his ground game, but obviously I was very impressed with his striking. He reminds me a lot of Anderson actually, his accuracy and ability to keep the distance and even his ground game reminded me a lot of Anderson (although he pushes forward more.) He also seems to go with inside leg kicks and front snap kicks more than kicks to the outside leg. He switches stances seamlessly. Creative.

But besides all that, he has a personality that makes him memorable to fans watching, and it seems inevitable that all his fights will be exciting, unless someone takes him down and controls him to a decision. He has that 'it' factor that will make fans want to see him fight even if he loses, which is important in this game, because you will lose if you only fight top tier fighters. It's the same draw Conor has; people will always tune in to watch him try to kick a guy's ass.

And if you think where Anderson was when he was 23... he was 2-0 in MMA (and would lose his next fight) and 0-1 in boxing. 23 year old O'Malley kicks 23 year old Silva's ass. So when I see O'Malley, even though he's not ready for the top guys yet I don't think, I look ahead and see a lot of potential. That ability to judge and keep the perfect distance and throw creative, unpredictable strikes with accuracy is a rare trait common to the best strikers.

I could see him being another Conor if he keeps a streak like this going for a while... I bet the UFC will make sure he only fights guys he'll beat to ensure that this happens, lol.

Watch his fight with Ware. It's mind blowing.

I like how Nate talked shit and his response was “Nate is one of my all time favorite fighters”

If he doesn't do something about that stupid head of hair i don't think i will ever be able to take him seriously. Looks like a twink clown.

No worries. Dana will steer him past all the great wrestlers like they did Conman and play to his strengths. I see top 5 easy. Then he needs some luck because almost whole top of div is wrestlers like catching cruz with no camp or something.

What was Conor doing at 23 years old, you ask? Oh, he was 10-2, fighting in Cage Warriors against guys who don't even have a wiki (yeah, I checked wiki, sorry I'm not some sort of an amateur Conor biographer like some of you on here)

Conor was probably on welfare at 23 I would guess.

I was impressed by his striking and composure, but that fight looked rigged as hell.

10 of Soukhamthath's 12 wins are by stoppage but all of a sudden killer instinct goes out the window when his opponent is badly hurt. Ok sure.
