@@TylerPearl77 the ppl who thought he'd get obliterated, KOd look stupid today. He hurt Yan multiple times..bloodied him up. Ppl questioned his heart & he himself got hurt & still kept pushing. Won Rd3 too even after it.
I'm really starting to like this kid. He's a free spirit, doesn't seem to have an ounce of ill will in him, and seems pretty straight forward and honest. He certainly showed up for this fight. Nice job young man.
I’m happy Sean showed everyone that he isn’t all talk. That jump in competition can only be backed up by fighting and the talking/fame won’t intimidate those guys! I’ve been a huge fan of Sean’s and I see this humbled him and opened his eyes. He’s now a legit staple in the 135 pound division and that can’t be denied weather he gets the belt next or not! Hell yeah Sean, you killed it! Showed what you’re capable of and that you aren’t soft and you don’t try and find ways to quit when it gets going tough! You showed your grit
He’s being patient because he’s a smart business man and knows his current contract sucks. He was refusing to fight in the top ten and ppv until he got to the last couple fights in his contract so when it was time to renegotiate he was in the right place at the right time. Very smart young guy. He’s been very open about this strategy.
@@notyouraveragejoe4865 that’s something I wish more people noticed and respected, he’s playing the game the smart way. However a lot of fans have been indoctrinated ,subconsciously, in the ways of Dana and the UFC especially when it comes to holdouts and pay. Kudos to you for noticing his strategy man
Been in the ufc since 2017 so it's good to see he can start competing with the top ranked guys and fighting for the belt. Really liked good out there and no matter who got the victory O'Malley made a huge leap into his career. All of us fans were lucky to get such a good fight!
@@ethanh23838 Yes he did but a lot of fighters have the same amount of matches as him. He's a few years behind on where he should be because of his leg injury but it looks like it was the best thing for him. I hope to see him against Cory Sandhagen next or someone else up near the top 5. He's earned it and has me wondering how good his wrestling and grappling really is.

I haven't liked Sean a whole lot since the Chito fight and his excuses. I honestly thought Yan was going to knock him out. I even thought he lost the fight but it was super close and he took some big shots and almost knocked Yan out. So I did nothing but gain a whole lot of respect for him and wouldn't have been shocked or upset
I think leading up he was being about as realistic about it as I've seen any fighter be. He was giving Yan props but also acknowledging that his style and dimensions matched up well againt the Russian. Hope he doesn't lose that clear headed mentality.
I think the biggest surprise from this fight was how well Sean handled the wrestling/grappling. Sure Petr got the best of him, but it was much closer than I thought
This guy is a legend in the making. He understands the modern MMA world. Branding and saying the right things, being I nthe right places.

@@IamAgrocerybag you guys seriously don’t know how judging works. Damage is most important, takedowns and ground control with no damage or submission threats mean nothing when compared with damaging shots…
@@Chris-2 wtf are talking about. There’s no way to measure damage inflicted. Like checking a kick… If ground control didn’t matter then why tf is it judged, and even then yan won in striking and most of yans significant strikes were off a take down. It’s a blatant robbery no other way around it
This fight just proves how little ground time matters if you do NOTHING with it. You have to completely control, transition, and throw strikes for your ground game to matter. Sean got up fairly easily from Yans takedowns. There wasn’t much struggle from Sean vice versa there wasn’t dominance on the ground for Yan. If you get to the ground you have to dominate or it’s useless. Yans undeniably amazing but he hasn’t been finishing these guys he clearly has a skill gap on.

@@abcmoz0323 Wrong. Yan often negates his opponent's offense through his effective high guard. Then after they punch themselves out on this high guard he turns up the pressure. He also did this very effectively against sandhagen who also has a 70 inch reach.(Sean has a 72 inch only 2 inches more than sandhagen) Yan's high guard was never effective against O'Malley because sean kept on finding the holes in it and striking through those chinks in the armor instead of landing on top of Yan's guard. No one else who has fought yan was accurate enough to accomplish this. You're a perfect example of the Dunning Kruger effect. Every casual thinks their opinion matters these days. It doesn't.
but why do we need to give him credit for "hanging with a guy". He lost, it was a clear loss, period. He didn't win, he didn't show anything really.....other than he's a decent fighter.
@@craiggagnon8407 He looked better than decent. And the reason O'Malley is being praised is because he jumped the competition level from unranked straight to the very top of the division and nearly came off with a legitimate win against the most dangerous guy. Sean had a few moments were he rocked Yan heavily, and also defended very well against every takedown. That's high level mma. Especially when you consider people were calling a 2nd round KO of O'Malley
@@mikejones6996 yeah he I totally agree with you he won our hearts but it was a very close fight I would just love to see 5 rounds. I love Sean honestly great fighter but such a close fight
I really struggled to like this guy before tonight, after seeing his humble side its fair to say that has changed. Great fight tonight, I'm sure you have a bright future dude.
In my unprofessional opinion lol it could of went either way in this brawl. Suga showed he could hold it down with a beast like Yan. Yan controlled the time and ground game, but Suga got out of a few tough situations on the ground and Suga and Peter both have granite chins. Taking some shots from Yan and Suga staying in the pocket throwing his all too, and Yan landing his big shots. Great fight from both these warriors.

@@matthewyarborough8328 Oh wow he landed a knee and got yan bleeding. That means he totally won the fight. Forget the fact he got taken down 6 times and controlled for over 1/3 of the fight. This is boxing after all not mixed martial arts
First time I've ever really given him the time and I can say I'm impressed. He's been on a tear and going toe to toe with Yan is saying something. I like how he doesn't want to compare or speak on the fight until he's watched it. Respectful and mature
I disagree i just think he was being pushed to the limit. Fighting for his life basically. Yan is a beast He handled it well tho, knows what it feels like now
I just rewatched the fight I didn’t feel good about the decision but if you watch it back it was extremely close. Sean definitely proved he belonged in there with the top of the division. Sterling’s style is a huge prob for Sean tho.
Honestly the first guy I’ve seen say it’s close. I thought round 1 was Sean’s, and I was betting on Petr 😂 Could definitely see it going either way, but surprised no one thought he won the first

Congratulations Sean O'Malley. That's the second time that Petr Yan won, but lost a decision. Both O'Malley and the commentators were silent; Both knew O'Malley did not beat Yan. Fantastic fight to watch.

@@DankPope it's been proven that the people who call others casuals usually tend to be a casual themselves, keep watching though as I'm sure you'll learn more about fights and fighters at some point
Sean proved everybody wrong. We all thought he was on Munhoz's level. Top 12-8 level fighter. He showed he was a top 5 level fighter tonight. Even if I scored it for Yan, he still took a round off and the 1st was at least debatable. He gave him a run for his money and that is very commendable. He will probably be a future champion
He won for a clear reason…. Control and takedowns which led to no damage, it was clear yan was down on points and trying milk rounds using control time on the ground but it’s basically stalling if your just holding them there not doing damage or looking for a sub
Been my favorite fighter since DWCS I saw he dog in him & knew if he got the right team he’d be a monster. So happy for him man. Everyone who thought he’s a joke can now sit back & watch him dominate while swallowing their words‼️
Strike numbers don't tell the story, O'Malley was flicking out jabs that were barely landing and also just tapping at Yan in round 3 with kicks, other than the big knee. Everything Yan landed was vicious wether it was leg kicks or body kicks or big punches, plus he had the takedowns, including a big slam in round one, with some GNP. Not a brutal robbery but definitely feel like Yan won, close fights can have a clear winner but O'Malley at least showed that he is right there at the top of the division regardless, just worry for him against Aljo that's like the worst matchup possible.
O'Malley won Rd.1 Yan won Rd.2 I had O'Malley edging out Rd.3, but i thought that final takedown by Yan was gonna possibly flip the Round to Yan. Very close fight, cuda went either way, no robbery...
O’Malley did not win round one, there was many take down in round one as well. I feel like the judges here don’t give much credit for them. I was hoping Sean win but not like this.
@@kaladinstormblessed765 Its a wrong decision, what made you think I can't? 2 of the 3 judges were wrong and need to get their head checked. Credit where credit is due, O'malley wasn't far off from winning, he had a great performance and is one of the top contenders.
@@Yeet42069 i meant to say he was not robbed. They were going back and forth. It's yan who needs to evaluate his game. How many split losses a fighter can have before he acknowledges that his game is not to the point. May be people r expecting too much from him. He can't walk through top guys. Split decisions r never robbery
@@kaladinstormblessed765 fr people acting like yan hasnt lost more than once to a split decision.... also, we can deny that suga being thrown to a top contender being rank 11 is kinda sussy, but we all know how that works. Props to sean!
Glad he's reacting like this. I don't believe he won, but he showed up and performed. He's just as good as he said he was, I just think petr was a bit better here. Such a good fight.
I believe in the rules that the UFC has been discussing, damage outweighs takedowns because takedowns don’t mean much unless submission attempts/ground control are involved. Ground control was technically involved, but no real ground n pound or submissions were really implemented by Yan. Basically alot of scrambling on Sugas part. I think ground control SHOULD be used as a sort of tie breaker for folks who don’t damage each other, but the problem is that Sugas striking damaged Yan pretty good. I believe Yan got outstruck down the stretch.
We all know sean has great skills but this fight he proved he has a good chin and is able to be in a tough fight, I was surprised by Sean but Yan definitely won that.
The facts that Yan put him to the test, will now only make Suga look closer to making himself better. We have yet to see how good he actually can be. Good deal Suga, learn from these close ones. 👌
they only score on the ground if they are threatening a stoppage, or landing ground and pound. Sean was never really in danger on the ground at all and got up most of the time without taking anything
The way Sean is talking in all these interviews I think he was seriously rocked and is almost scared about what happened during that fight. I think fighters need more time to digest what they went through before media
I think hes one of the only fighters seriously worried about CTE, hes actually quite versed in optimising health for performance so not surprising. And he knows he got hit hard by yan. Hes a lot smarter than most fighters. I dont think hell have a long career hell probably retire early when he thinks he made enough cash which is the right approach imo.
I know what you mean but he was saying "they kept saying they should kick my legs, than they should try to take me down" Petr did all that, still won. It could've gone both ways imo, the takedowns by Petr didn't do any damage, Sean scored more point with jabs and legg kicks. He got my respect for sure

Sean's accuracy is next level and made the difference in this fight
The only reason he has the "accuracy" you speak of, is his length......his reach
@@abcmoz0323
Wrong. Yan often negates his opponent's offense through his effective high guard. Then after they punch themselves out on this high guard he turns up the pressure. He also did this very effectively against sandhagen who also has a 70 inch reach.(Sean has a 72 inch only 2 inches more than sandhagen)
Yan's high guard was never effective against O'Malley because sean kept on finding the holes in it and striking through those chinks in the armor instead of landing on top of Yan's guard. No one else who has fought yan was accurate enough to accomplish this.
You're a perfect example of the Dunning Kruger effect. Every casual thinks their opinion matters these days. It doesn't.
Was always a fan of his talent but became a believer in this guy. He’s tough as hell. Yan is a beast and he hung in there with him.
but why do we need to give him credit for "hanging with a guy". He lost, it was a clear loss, period. He didn't win, he didn't show anything really.....other than he's a decent fighter.
@@craiggagnon8407 it’s 2022, now you get participation trophies.
@@Ishbikes if you put up a very good fight up against the number 1 fighter in your division, it proves you're a top 5 talent
@@craiggagnon8407 He looked better than decent. And the reason O'Malley is being praised is because he jumped the competition level from unranked straight to the very top of the division and nearly came off with a legitimate win against the most dangerous guy. Sean had a few moments were he rocked Yan heavily, and also defended very well against every takedown. That's high level mma. Especially when you consider people were calling a 2nd round KO of O'Malley

Learn how to judge a fight properly.
The fight was controversial but he gained a ton of respect from many people for his chin and his right hand ❤️
His takedown defense was actually really good tbh
I really struggled to like this guy before tonight, after seeing his humble side its fair to say that has changed. Great fight tonight, I'm sure you have a bright future dude.
This side of him has always been there, glad people are catching on though
same for TJ Dillashaw, the fact he survived the worst possible position with just ONE ARM for 2 rounds is absolutely crazy, big respect for him
He hasn't changed. He has always been like this but people like you just blindly hated him
In my unprofessional opinion lol it could of went either way in this brawl. Suga showed he could hold it down with a beast like Yan. Yan controlled the time and ground game, but Suga got out of a few tough situations on the ground and Suga and Peter both have granite chins. Taking some shots from Yan and Suga staying in the pocket throwing his all too, and Yan landing his big shots. Great fight from both these warriors.
yan landed more strikes and had 6 takedown to 0. your a clown if you think this couldve went either way
5 minutes of control in the ground, significant strikes were landed by yan, u guys are biggest CLOWNS

Sean didnt do enough. The judges just got paid enough

@@aa-zw3hi who did more damage? Clearly Sean did. He won
@@matthewyarborough8328 Oh wow he landed a knee and got yan bleeding. That means he totally won the fight. Forget the fact he got taken down 6 times and controlled for over 1/3 of the fight. This is boxing after all not mixed martial arts
First time I've ever really given him the time and I can say I'm impressed. He's been on a tear and going toe to toe with Yan is saying something. I like how he doesn't want to compare or speak on the fight until he's watched it. Respectful and mature
Been a fan since back in his Montana days! So happy and proud of the job he's doing!
I’m glad he won. I hate it when takedowns without doing anything with them results in 10-8s.
Draftkings at end of fight: -800 for Yan
UFC judges: let's give it to poodle
Yup
Absolute joke the UFC is, blatant robbery smh.
Poodle? 😂
his significant strikes is insane
Suga’s chin was the biggest surprise for me, dude took some heavyyy shots. Respect 👊🏽
I think he was very clearly concussed from the 2nd round onwards. Props to him for coming back and winning the second
I disagree i just think he was being pushed to the limit. Fighting for his life basically. Yan is a beast
He handled it well tho, knows what it feels like now
I just rewatched the fight I didn’t feel good about the decision but if you watch it back it was extremely close. Sean definitely proved he belonged in there with the top of the division. Sterling’s style is a huge prob for Sean tho.
Honestly the first guy I’ve seen say it’s close. I thought round 1 was Sean’s, and I was betting on Petr 😂 Could definitely see it going either way, but surprised no one thought he won the first
I thought Yan clearly won. But i am a casual.
Where can I watch it back?

Awesome fight Sean, Phenomenal warrior
Although I believe Yan won O'Malley won me over as a fan keep on fighting and climbing the rankings young man congratulations!!
Congratulations Sean O'Malley. That's the second time that Petr Yan won, but lost a decision. Both O'Malley and the commentators were silent; Both knew O'Malley did not beat Yan. Fantastic fight to watch.
Don't leave it in the hands of the judges springs to mind

@@thejamesbondshow9754 maybe you’re mentally challenged? Sean won
Props to the Suga man!! I was not sure his power would translate to Petr Yan but he held up! Good job.
Sean proved everybody wrong. We all thought he was on Munhoz's level. Top 12-8 level fighter. He showed he was a top 5 level fighter tonight. Even if I scored it for Yan, he still took a round off and the 1st was at least debatable. He gave him a run for his money and that is very commendable. He will probably be a future champion
What's this we 💩? Anyone with a brain knew he was top 5.
He won for a clear reason…. Control and takedowns which led to no damage, it was clear yan was down on points and trying milk rounds using control time on the ground but it’s basically stalling if your just holding them there not doing damage or looking for a sub
Sean has that X factor you rarely see in fighters. He will be a mainstay in the top 5 of this division for a long time
He looked good on the ground also. He got back to his feet a few times and I like that improvement
Been my favorite fighter since DWCS I saw he dog in him & knew if he got the right team he’d be a monster. So happy for him man. Everyone who thought he’s a joke can now sit back & watch him dominate while swallowing their words‼️
No
@@Conservative_carnivore hahahahaha awe were you one of them ones..? It’s ok buddy you’ll get over it😁

@Van Jon shut up
I’ve been on the O’Malley train for a bit, was super excited to see this match up. He did amazing bro. Didn’t win imo. But didn’t lose lose
AND STILL UNDEFEATED, MY BOY SUGA SEAN O'MALLEY SHOWING EVERYONE HE IS TRULY WHERE HE BELONGS AMONG THE OTHER WORLD CLASS ELITES
Proud of ya O'malley, great job, an enjoy your win 👍
I have way more respect for this man after this interview!
Great fight, great outlook after the controversial win!
Strike numbers don't tell the story, O'Malley was flicking out jabs that were barely landing and also just tapping at Yan in round 3 with kicks, other than the big knee. Everything Yan landed was vicious wether it was leg kicks or body kicks or big punches, plus he had the takedowns, including a big slam in round one, with some GNP. Not a brutal robbery but definitely feel like Yan won, close fights can have a clear winner but O'Malley at least showed that he is right there at the top of the division regardless, just worry for him against Aljo that's like the worst matchup possible.

That escape he did when Yan had his back looked PERFECT 👌🏾
O'Malley won Rd.1
Yan won Rd.2
I had O'Malley edging out Rd.3, but i thought that final takedown by Yan was gonna possibly flip the Round to Yan.
Very close fight, cuda went either way, no robbery...
O’Malley did not win round one, there was many take down in round one as well. I feel like the judges here don’t give much credit for them. I was hoping Sean win but not like this.
Takedowns aren't worth much anymore.
O malley didn’t win round 1, and definitely didn’t win round 3 yan took him down multiple times
@@sganet_ Petr never did anything with any of his take downs and Sean successfully pieced him up won the fight

In a close fight , u can't say its wrong decision.
@@kaladinstormblessed765 Its a wrong decision, what made you think I can't? 2 of the 3 judges were wrong and need to get their head checked. Credit where credit is due, O'malley wasn't far off from winning, he had a great performance and is one of the top contenders.
@@Yeet42069 i meant to say he was not robbed. They were going back and forth. It's yan who needs to evaluate his game. How many split losses a fighter can have before he acknowledges that his game is not to the point. May be people r expecting too much from him. He can't walk through top guys. Split decisions r never robbery
@@kaladinstormblessed765 bro 6 takedowns, approx 5min ground game, first 2 round for for yan, clear case of robbery
@@kaladinstormblessed765 fr people acting like yan hasnt lost more than once to a split decision.... also, we can deny that suga being thrown to a top contender being rank 11 is kinda sussy, but we all know how that works. Props to sean!
Glad he's reacting like this. I don't believe he won, but he showed up and performed. He's just as good as he said he was, I just think petr was a bit better here.
Such a good fight.
Every split decision win is not a robbery
But this one was.

@@MIKE-TYTHON nope
Suga Sean nothing but respect brother!!!!!!! 🔥💯
I believe in the rules that the UFC has been discussing, damage outweighs takedowns because takedowns don’t mean much unless submission attempts/ground control are involved. Ground control was technically involved, but no real ground n pound or submissions were really implemented by Yan. Basically alot of scrambling on Sugas part. I think ground control SHOULD be used as a sort of tie breaker for folks who don’t damage each other, but the problem is that Sugas striking damaged Yan pretty good. I believe Yan got outstruck down the stretch.
I believe u dont know S
agreed. Sean won but it was really close.
@@questioneverything4722 sick burn. Grow up.
He just mutilate his face. Yeah "pretty good"
We all know sean has great skills but this fight he proved he has a good chin and is able to be in a tough fight, I was surprised by Sean but Yan definitely won that.
not sure how he won the match, but props to him he took a lotta heat from Petr Yan
Sean’s walkout was HARD ASF 💪🏽❗️
Bro his takedown defense really surprised me he was able to stop him half the time and didn't let him do much on the ground
He shouldn't of won but he showed he can bang with the best

The facts that Yan put him to the test, will now only make Suga look closer to making himself better. We have yet to see how good he actually can be. Good deal Suga, learn from these close ones. 👌
He turned me into a fan of him. He showed his heart! Great fight! His range was top shelf. Defense was so good!
Despite the boo’s and general dissent for the decision, O’Malley has won a lot of fans tonight. Showed he belongs + has a warriors mentality
"It's not good for you to get punched in the head"--true
Taken down 6 times, got controlled for over 5 minutes and somehow STILL won.
That’s UFC for ya.
Yep
they only score on the ground if they are threatening a stoppage, or landing ground and pound. Sean was never really in danger on the ground at all and got up most of the time without taking anything
Damage is the #1 criteria.
@@leos1204 put ur glasses on bro
@@leos1204 Oh it was scored! That’s exactly why it was posted on the score cards
The way Sean is talking in all these interviews I think he was seriously rocked and is almost scared about what happened during that fight. I think fighters need more time to digest what they went through before media
I think hes one of the only fighters seriously worried about CTE, hes actually quite versed in optimising health for performance so not surprising. And he knows he got hit hard by yan. Hes a lot smarter than most fighters. I dont think hell have a long career hell probably retire early when he thinks he made enough cash which is the right approach imo.

I know what you mean but he was saying "they kept saying they should kick my legs, than they should try to take me down" Petr did all that, still won. It could've gone both ways imo, the takedowns by Petr didn't do any damage, Sean scored more point with jabs and legg kicks. He got my respect for sure
