I don't think it was that bad of a decsion, I still score it for Yan, But I can see the argument O'Malley did more damage in round 3 and the first round was close, Also I had most of my betting money on Yan


Me and my mate both had it 29-28 Yan, But he had it with O'Malley winning the first, While I had it with him winning the third,  O'Malley winning the 1st and 3rd isn't that crazy

Overall it was a very bad card. thats sad because I (we) had greath expectation.

Like many time in Abu dhabi judges are ****. Did they understand mma? How someone can think Omalley beat Yan?

Dillashaw dislocating is shoulder 1st hit, wath a disapointment!

Dana said Volkanovski skip the line in front of Dariush... 


A night to forgot in mma.

I bet O'Malley because he was +250 and I thought he would win more than the implied probability. I was mad that I was late in actually placing the bet because I knew when I saw he was +300 at the start that I would bet him but didn't catch it in time until it had fallen.
But sometimes odds get even better despite them being off, I haven't been able to discern a pattern to it so far. The minds of the masses are still as inscrutable to me as when I started betting, like trying to predict the stock market.

I don't think the PPV wasn't that bad, But I had lower standard then most because I thought the matchups were intersting, But I wasn't confident that the fights were going to be good in reality, While everyone else was like' This card was going to be card of the year, I think everyone had too high standards for it,

I only watch the "big 6" fight, But I don't think any of the big 6 fights were bad, Maybe the prelim was dog****, And ruin the felling of the card, I thought Chook vs Fiorot was the worst fight of the "big 6", I thought that fight was decent, But I really enjoyed Beniel vs Gamrot, O'Malley vs Yan, Belal Muhammed and Islam performance, And Sterling did smashed Dillashaw

Aljamain Sterling is on the longest win streak in battamweight history, tied for most title defence, Sterling is the best batamweight in MMA history,  Hater may disagree because they're mad  they boyfriend Yan is 1-3 in his last 4

what is next for Islam

Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 1 Perfect, 540 Points   |   Tied for 929th


I think Islam will finish Volkanovski inside two rounds. This fight has no sense.


The biggest threat In LW division is Beneil, no one else is close to give Islam a compepetive fight.

I didn't score the fight for O'Malley but honestly I don't mind being wrong on this one. I knew it was possible, skill for skill it was close but I didn't think Sean had the heart, toughness what ever you want to call it to hang with a savage like Petr, but Sean showed up and dug deep. Respect. Sounds like he's rethinking his career choice after this fight though, he really didn't like it but he proved me wrong and proved something to himself.

Gamrot on the other hand. Man folded like a wet paper bag. Beniel might have just been better than him, but he didn't even try to get after it once he'd established he didn't have the grappling edge he thought he would have. It's actually a travesty that he was given the nod over Arman, Arman would not have gone down like that. That kid has the get rich or die trying mentality and that's why he will eventually be champ and Gamrot won't. Props to Beniel though, I think he gets Charles next and hot take - I think he wins.

Cuz it's actually 1st round either way, 2nd round Yan for sure, 3rd round O'Malley for sure.  Which is also what the judges had.  All 3 judges had 2 for Yan and 3 for O'Malley.  Then 1 judge gave 1 to Yan and the other 2 gave 1 to O'Malley.  Do I agree with it?  No.  I would've given 1 to Yan.  Am I mad? No cuz that round was basically a coin flip

Every single respected media member had it for Yan.  These judges got it wrong.  It was a pretty bad decision.

1.  Media members aren't judges.  2.  Just because a lot of people see it one way doesn't mean the fight wasn't close.  A lot of people, myself included, thought Yan won but at the same time I can totally see arguments for Sean winning.  I mean round 2 was definitely Yan's and 3 was definitely O'Malley's which all 3 judges agreed on.  I gave round 1 to Yan but I think that round was basically a coinflip and could've went either way

Both right and I haven't even seen the fight. People have a very hard time admitting a fight or round was close, they just make their choice and then start thinking their OPINION magically turns into a FACT.

@Damien, 
If you remove the comedy show, Sterling have only to win in championship fight and this one was due to TJ own injuries. He may have beat him anyway but... we will never know. Maybe he can continue defend the belt and become the best BW ever but for now I think Cruz resumate is still better.

I think everyone who watched the fight and know MMA understand that Peter Yan win round 1 and round 2.

Aljamain won 8 fight in a row(most in batamweight history), got 2 title defence(tied for most in batamweight history), But people don't want to say he great because he offends them with his greatness. Stay Salty Tapology,
