I was surprised when I went back and watched Vera vs. Sandhagen. It wasn't as impressive a performance as I remembered it being from Corey. Wasn't a great fight in general to be honest and even on the rewatch, giving Chito the last 3 rounds is a massive stretch.

OMalley has never seen championship rounds and is fighting a cardio monster who's never been finished in over 30 pro fights. Can he do what Sandhagen did and just out volume Chito for 25 minutes? Or will he be the first person to finish Chito? These are fair questions IMO.

As long as OMalleys legs hold up this time, I think he takes 3 rounds here fairly easy. Chito is just too comfortable getting beat up for too long during fights for me to back him in this one and I'm saying that as a huge Chito fan.

O’Malley is at the mma lab, everyone there has insane cardio because they’re all juicing. Not trying to throw shade because I really like the gym, but much like at ATT, everyone is juicing over there

Just look at the pace guys like Bautista and Phillips can set. Also, just rewatch the mountinho fight if you are really worried about Suga’s cardio; I know it was only 15 minutes but he threw an absurd amount of strikes, at full force, and wasn’t breathing remotely heavily

He might not have been visibly breathing heavily but he literally spent the entire 3rd round of that fight looking up at the clock wondering when the fight was over. That's probably not the best example though because he knew he had Moutinho dead to rights early in the fight and just blew his load trying to finish a guy who was in complete zombie mode.

@Parlay Boss you can pick whoever you want and it won’t effect the fight, I still believe Chito will win

@foppa420 Chito looked pretty good against Munhoz. He out pointed him and Munhoz was giving O’Malley problems

If Chito fans are as annoying as you, I would rather see Suga win so that people like you stay quiet 🤫

@foppa well regardless, chito does not set a very high pace. Sean only has to worry about the champ rounds/late round 3 because chito refuses to do anything in the first 10 minutes.

Also the Yan fight was very high paced and he looked fine there as well. But, chito is going to stand there throwing nothing for the majority of the the fight

Sean got caught twice with PED in his system on the come up, He is a known juicer, Especially with USADA being gone, Sean going to do more Tren-ing before the fight.

Interesting. I thought Chito looked good against Munhoz but that fight was razor close. I completely disagree on the last part and actually think OMalley was well on his way to knocking Munhoz out before the eye poke.

Chito vs. O’Malley is an awesome fight, but it doesn’t need to be dissected to much. Both guys are veterans and we all know what they bring. Let’s just hope it lives up to expectations.

It’s not like the last PPV where there were plenty of questions surrounding the main event.

@Parlay Boss tell me when I started annoying you lmao. I’m genuinely being respectful and giving opinions but because y’all disagree it’s annoying.What do you mean stay quiet? I will talk about the fight a lot after it happens no matter the result because I’m a big UFC fan

@foppa420 Well it wasn’t too action packed but man Munhoz was eating up his legs, it says he landed 26 leg kicks in the 8 minutes they fought. I mean I really think Sean has some weak legs

@baremaras lmao. You know Chito won that fight

Come on guys damage wins fight and everyone knows Chito did all the damage in the Munhoz fight

Munhoz is a much better leg kicker than chito. I think munhoz has some of the best leg kicks at 135

The thing with Chito, he gets away with a lot of thing that isn’t good, good on him to becoming a top 5 bantamweight, he gone further then he should of, I just think top 5 will show why you shouldn’t fight like Chito, Sandhagen already did that, I think Sean will too.

I think the main reason Chito gets away is because he athletes bully’s older guys,

I'd argue Chito has far more experience fighting higher level competition than Sean has.

Chito durability vs Sean speed and heart

Predictions: 8 of 14 Winners, 5 Perfect, 565 Points | Tied for 4018th

This fight is most on Chito, if he shows up to fight it will be different, against Sandhagen he did absolutely nothing, not even in the fifth round. Against Munhoz I can say that Chito began to fight in the first which is good.
Chito chin is not only strong but also his defense is pretty underrated, he seems to be hit but he rolls well. He HAS TO FIGHT hunt for Sean legs and then the head.

O'Malley durability isn't that good, he was concussed against Yan and despite winning (was a close fight anyways), if it was a 5 rounder he was getting koed. His speed is the key here, Chito is too slow even when he's trying.

O'Malley trying to KO him will be better for Chito because he's not getting kod and will open chances to hit Sean. Sean should aim for a decision or a late KO (which will not happen). Sean's heart appeared vs Yan, I thought he was a quitter and maybe he was but not now.

Sean O'Malley by DEC is my prediction but I hope Chito starches him.
