The only reason I took OMalley is because I feel like Sean Shelby knows something I/we dont. OMalley has been built up to be a potential cash cow for this promotion. Dana didn't want to book this fight.

That tells me that those who run the UFC genuinely believe he can win this fight. Can you imagine if OMalley wins followed by Sterling winning, who then vacates and moves up to FW?

Title fight is immediately OMalley/Chito 2 for the vacated belt no question. Huge PPV main event right there.

This PPV is delivering. If only they didn't put that **** WMMA fight on it. I paid for it and I feel completely ripped off. They should have put a really good mens fight on it for what the cost is.

The UFC is watering down it's PPV product with rubbish womens fights. And this is one reason no one wants to pay money and buy anything from them. If this card had not been so good apart from that fight I would not have bought it.

Yan probably shouldn't take the first round off this time.

I hope O'Malley wins by flying knee or something. Love a good upset when I don't have any money on the line lol.

I think Sean Shelby is taking O'Malley down a peg. He keeps talking about money and he deserves more pay. Here's a ass whooping, now let's negotiate

I think you guys are overanalyzing it on who the UFC wants to win this one, they like both guys in terms of marketability.

I don't think the UFC wants anyone in particular to win. The consensus opinion has been this is too big a step up for OMalley. My point is the UFC brass obviously disagree with that opinion.

At some point he has to shoot his shot, his contender series introduction was 5 years ago in 2017.

Do they really love all russians in Abu Dhabi or are they just always rooting against the american?

Alittle surprised by this match making. Thought they would build up O'Malley more instead of giving him a killer like Yan. Interesting fight

Anti-American sentiment more than anything. Russia and the UAE have good relations as countries.
