News Yan vs O'Malley UFC 280, October 22

[Zaar]

From fighting decent fighters to Yan ()

Immediate thought was that Suga stands no chance.

But this is a 3 rounder and Yan starts very slow. I can see Suga winning the first 2 rounds with point fighting and just surviving the third for a decision win.

If Yan wants to break from his usual plan and go in hard early, he might end up just running onto hard counters.

 

[Khamzat GOAT]

Did O'Malley say no to Dana White banging his GF? How did he go from getting protected to fighting the former champ still in his prime?

I think this is exactly what happened

 

[bjjHERRERA]

stoked

 

[NILLI]

Huge step up for O'Malley. He has pretty much nothing to lose in that fight and if he wins he rockets to the top of the charts. He has a punchers chance IMO.

 

[Dirty Frank]

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.

Would be better if you print those words out and literally eat them

[ssBaldy]

Yan will massacre Omalley and then refuse to fuck Omalley's GF to further the humiliation.

 

[Maori]

Nelk already delivering for their first UFC fighter.

 

[Dionysian]

UFC with the sacrifices lately

This one's great though lol

 

[Michael_Kind]

All but 2 of yans UFC wins are washes.

I thought this fight was a joke.
Sean's record is trash make no mistake.
Yans record though, if truly looked at, isn't this legend record people make it out to be.

I'll hold off making a prediction.

 

[ZaphMMA]

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

Actually for some reason I thought O'malley was on the last fight of his contract and was holding out. The would have been the case where the pink goof wants him to lose to devalue him. But it sounds like he just signed a new contract. So maybe pink goof is on team clown hair.

 

[robbie]

O'Malley is about to run head first into the old "you don't know what you don't know until you know" scenario. Yan is a big step up in degree of difficulty and teeing off on unranked fighters isn't the same as fighting top contenders. He will have a height/reach advantage, but I'm confident that Yan can close that distance without too much trouble and damage O'Malley. I think a few leg kicks, some clinch work with close range boxing and then a GnP finale after O'Malley gets knocked down or tripped.

 

[Gilday]

I fully expect Yan to push his shit in, but O'Malley by KO would be hilarious

 

[magpie878]

This fight will be cancelled

 

[BonesWinckleJones]

Pretty obvious that yan will shoot for takedown eventually and will get flying knee to the face

 

[DrunkMonkMeth]

Would love to see omailly purple ass ko yan for the salt

 

[RemyR]

It’s going to be nice watching this hype train die

 

[FlowchartRog]

If Yan wants to keep it standing he'll definitely lose.
His best bet is to mix in some wrestling and grappling.

Yeah, sure, one of the best strikers in the UFC has no chance standing against a guy who is 0-1-0-1 against ranked fighters.

 

[slavomir]

I am surprised people are salivating at this event, with the addition of this fight.
Yan Vs Poodle is interesting only if you hate O'Malley and want to see him humbled.
Chinless Khabib Vs Oli is very interesting fight.
Cheating Snake Vs Actor Aljo is kinda meh.
