News Yan vs O'Malley UFC 280, October 22

What in God's name is with the shitty matchmaking lately? Everyone and their mother knows Yan will absolutely throttle O'Malley, this is basically as pseudo-title shot, and I don't understand why. Even if Yan somehow lost the standup, he could toy with O'Malley on the ground. Squash match, maybe they just want a gauranteed brutal highlight reel KO to hype Yan back up.

The UFC's matchmaking has fell off a cliff. They truly don't give a shit about rankings anymore.
With a high profile LW fight and high profile BW fight on the card it seems to me like insurance for the Main and Co-Main. They have Yan and Dariush as backups.
 
Sean is the one who posted about the agreement. It's all over social media. He got the fight he wanted. His words.

being on a radio interview isnt the same as the fighting being made offical. nate and dustin agreed to fight thru twitter but it didnt happen. nate and luque agreed but it didnt happen.
 
Fuck yeah. I hope it happens. I will watch. This card is shaping up to be a good one.
 
No f’n way lol. Hype train vs the real deal.
 
Gigantic step up for o malley, watch him take yan down at some point though. Its closer then people are acting. I see o malley winning r1 in a snoozefest, round 2 a tossup and 3 going to yan, but if yan doesnt get cranked up in the first 2 rounds he can easily get decisioned here.

In fact...I don't think he gets cranked up. ill pick the upset early on. O malley 49-48. If I'm wrong ill eat my words.
 
Will stop by Sherdog after the fight to see all the hater heads explode after O'malley wins. No bigger, redder head explodes than the pink goof's however and that will be even more enjoyable than the shitstorm of haters here.
 
Please Petr beat this guy into a new persona
 
same as the Sandhagen fight, but i want to see if O'Malley is more than feints and straights. Still i want Yan to beat him.
 
Not really sure where the confidence in Yan is coming from, especially in a 3 round fight. Sean is a great striker and he'll have a 5 inch reach advantage against Yan who is typically a slow starter.

O'Malley attracts viewers and Petr can't speak English. You think Dana wants Sean to lose?

From MMAfighting

”On Wednesday, O’Malley announced on ESPN’s DC & RC that he’s fighting Petr Yanat UFC 280, which takes place Oct. 22 in Abu Dhabi. MMA Fighting subsequently confirmed with a person with knowledge of the promotion’s plans that the fight has been verbally agreed upon, but contracts haven’t been issued.

Yan’s manager Daniel Rubenstein reiterated that stance while speaking on Wednesday’s edition of The MMA Hour, and that the fight is not 100 percent done as of yet.”

UFC 280, Oct 22
Oliveira vs Islam
Sterling vs TJ
Yan vs O'Malley
Muhammad vs Brady

I believe it when I see it. I think Sean O'mal is going to pull out. If it doesn't, then pray for him. Yan is going to mess him up.
 
O Malley has been banking on his reach mixed with his opponents terrible foot and head movement, he's shown he doesn't have the skills in the pocket when his opponent has enough chin/competent enough to get inside.

OMalley gonna get exposed here for his one dimensional striking, I refuse to believe after failing to put down a regional level training dummy like Moutinho that he will have anything for Yan.
