Seeing how Sean O'Malley was taken down and dominated by Merab

So I think Pantoja was telling the truth that he defeated him in a training session years ago.

Training sessions mean nothing. Look at Volkov vs Pavlovich lol

Probably, sparring is often broken down into grappling sparring and stand up sparring. It's very doubtful O'Malley got the better of Pantoja in grappling.

I honestly want to know the type of drills they were doing to prepare for this fight. Seans takedown defense was barely serviceable in there.

He stopped 9 out of 15 TDs, and he stuffed 5 out of 5 in the 3rd round. It was really just rounds 2 and 4 that he got held down for the majority of the round.

Talkin bout practice is a bannable offense.

He still got his salad tossed.

Volkov was joking though.
In his last interview he said he was beaten every second of every training and then laughing his ass off.

Couldn't believe the moronic advice coming out of Sean's corner, particularly before the fifth round.

They literally told him to dance around for the first two minutes. The urgency and volume from Sean was just pathetic.
