Yeah... I love Chito and I want him to become champ but he gets beaten by a lot of BWs.I expect O'Malley to cruise to a clear decision (most likely on the feet). Chito's low-volume style is far too dependent on landing the kill shot. That might work against fringe top-10 BWs, but it generally won't cut it against the best guys in the division. Personally, I thought Chito lost to Munhoz. And O'Malley is a very different fighter than their first meeting.
I usually root for Chito. And I'll certainly root for him against O'Malley. But Chito has feasted on old BWs and, as a result, has become relatively overrated.
This is actually the easiest path for him to become champ. No way he beats Sterling, Cory, Merab, Cejudo or the good Nurmagomedov
