Whether you think Sean won or lost, you can’t deny he held his own and he truly showed everyone that he is a lot better than most people give him credit for.
yeah we should start handing out participation trophies to guys like him
@@ZemarRed nah it’s just the bums who said he would get smashed got proven wrong. He gave the #1 contender and former champion the hardest fight he’s ever had. Bantamweight is even more interesting now
@@ZemarRed and we should hand these 🍆 to your sister
@@ahmedabe “beta” 😂😂 so cringe n pathetic
But not as good as he said he was. He's not that next level of flashy omg did you see that talent, he's just decent
can't deny Sean is a gangster now. he definitely wasn't "murdered" like 95% of fans were saying. love to see a rematch one day.
The SUGA SHOW GOES on
He lost imo but did wayyyyy better than I thought he would
Not murdered but he did lose.
still a terrible decision...judges must of been paid off.
@@whitejodeci8926 he definitely won the 3rd, so its all up to that 1st round which could go for either one, so I think either one could've won
This dude got rocked like never before and humbly realized what it takes to be a champ. He is going to get better from this and dominate the division.
I tjink this was similar to Khamzat vs Burns. Because these two ‘humblings’ were different: they still won, and despite getting humbled mid fight, they bit down on their mouth guards and didn’t let it stop them mid fight
I love O'Malley - exceptional talent! A striker in the class of McGregor. But he lost that battle. And lost it by a lot.
@@ivo2hristov by a lot 😂 , it was a close fight
1st round was one of the closest you will see in the whole history of the sport! It was close round 2 he lost round 3 he won. So either way it’s close af.
@@fachriardiansyah2613 close only in striking part - takedowns, control, aggressions - Yan was dominant
Suga did everything his haters said he could. He took massive shots, he was in a long fight with a top performer, he didn't get injured even after taking leg shots, he had yan in trouble a couple of times and certainly had power against a top contender, his wrestling wasn't terrible and he managed to get up against a great grappler. This guy is legit and is staying around no matter what anybody says. He is the number 1 contender at 28 years old and will continue to get better and have more wins and great fights. No more slander on Suga's name anymore
All facts
And still yan got robbed.
If it goes 5 he loses he was gassed and statistically he lost the fight
Damage trumps all
Sooo many if's and but's
I mean even if he did lose, he definitely earns y’all’s respect after that fight.. he moves up either way! Congrats to Suga! Wish it would’ve been 5 rounds though.
@The one and only what did the judges say?
@The one and only O’Malley outstruck him, got up from every single takedown, and rocked him twice. Plus, have you ever seen anyone make Petr bleed like that? Sorry but takedowns don’t win fights. Sean won.
@The one and only it really depends on wat judges was there that night. He won. He belongs
Except he won tho
Judges lined up those pockets tonight from daddy Dana
You can tell Sean went through a psychological journey in there. Looked low on confidence at the start but man he found it. The adversity came and he absolutely rose to it. Amazing career best performance
But he lost the fight I all honesty
@@thomasneedham1224 was razor close. Yan didn't do too much with his control time. Sean did big damage
Little cut stopped by his cut man, on the SIDE of his right eye ?

Yikes. Delusional
Yup. Suga should face Chito now, I think he can put a stop to his streak atm
@@dudeimgeorge how is that delusional? Yan was clearly hurt Badly twice
Dodson dropped Yan
You can't question his grit or heart anymore. He left it all out there vs an absolute savage

i had Yan winning that fight as many others did but O Malley showed a ton of heart, skill, toughness and that he belongs in there with the elite of the division. Still, in a close fight, how could six takedowns and like over 5 mins of control time for Yan not equal victory?
Sean always keeps it classy. Mad humble and respectful
Sean really doesn't want to rub people the wrong way by bragging about the win like it was easy. Props to Sean for playing his cards right and coming so far. Aljo would be high off glue if he doesn't go for a money fight with Sean.
He knows he lost. That's the only reason he's not bragging.
How can he brag about a fight 90% of people thought he lost convincingly
He lost that fight. Yan won rounds two and three easily
@@Last_Chance. Yeah, i also feel like he thought he was going to lose and was kind of taken by the magnitued of the moment, that he won. It seems like he is trying to process it all. Tbh i love it that Suga's won, but in my book i tought Yan would win for sure. What a fight tho and both are great fighters for sure :)
@@spacecowboy_1962 suga round 3 literally no damage just laid on Sean 😂
The look in Sean’s eyes when it was over made me feel like it changed him. I’d imagine some of that humor is gonna go away. Realized he is in a serious game.
Lets hope so, he lacks humility

@@Skyler_Deacon wild fight
You say that now 🤣
Even if it was a draw, it was an unbelievable fight, you have to give Suga the respect
Probably could of done with 2 more rounds was a close fight! Hard to score! yan had control on the ground but o malley had him hurt fight of the night
@@MrDalejennings With two more rounds Yan's eyebrows would be in jeopardy and maybe a doctor stoppage TKO would happen.
A draw? Lul. Takedowns were like 13 to 1.....ahahahahahaaaa
@@holeindanssock156 keeping laughing. He still won and Yan lost.
@@holeindanssock156 Takedowns were 6/13 for Yan and they weren't what you need to look at to decide the winner... significant strikes were.
I was super impressed by his get-up game. the guy knew the technicalities of it. I can see he trained so hard.
thought he lost, and I honestly don't think he thought he won immediately afterwards. gained my respect either way, for sure showed he's top 5
for sure
People are stupid suga landed more significant strikes in the fight. He busted up Peter and Peter didn't do anything on the ground Suga defended mostly all.
@@elvisherrera960 exactly. Petr couldn't hurt O'Malley. O'Malley had Petr busted up
Definitely not
@@empressraven we didn’t watch the same fight
Suga was out of it from Petr left hand, he was rocked but he came thru in the end.
Yeh bro was stiff for a second
He got a chin on him he took 3 or 4 clean hard hits from Petr like Cory Sandhagen did, both are skinny but tough
He cracked petr right before that
Peter was out of it after Sean kicked him in the head , Sean had that wannabe bleeding all over the cage and shooting for takedown The entire time Hahaha, couldn't even do anything on the ground Peter was so boring to watch

Respect to Sean. He showed a lot of respect to petr because he knew that was a close fight. Definitely earns fight of the night
Agreed
100%
It wasn’t a close fight, it was 30-27. Please stop this talk. I don’t know how old you are but if you’re an adult and have a head on your shoulders there isn’t a way you can see Sean winning this fight.
@@stewartsmith1464 you're an idiot.
@@stewartsmith1464 stop crying
I just need to say: before the judges even announced. I was So Proud of Sean and your Corner work Tim. You guys proved you deserve to be in there with the best dude in the world! Sean damaged Yan more than anyone else has. Sean showed great ground game work, Sean showed toughness and durability. Everyone was doubting. Regardless I am proud of you guys!
thanks man /it's not always easy holding the spit bucket for my guy but it's worth all the hard work we do to keep our guy on his toes
Proud of tim ? Lol why
@@bqlicious cause he’s his coach duh
Tim slacked this fight , has no adjustments for him. Told him he was doing great after the first round , second round told him some clitche “you need to dig deep inside of you “ speech and I don’t even know if he said shut the 3rd… lucky Sean got it together the 3rd went for quicker punches and moving his feet around yan more… yan shoulda won this is coming from a Sean O’ fan
@@thedudeonmars Be quite, you sound like a fool.
the judges are crazy, even he cannot believe he won
He did , he won round 1 and round 3
Wrestling isn’t enough he didn’t use ground and pound an didn’t threaten with submissions
Sean lost 💯💯
How much did y’all lose in the bet
The judges followed the correct criteria. Damage trumps all. Yan was not doing damage from the take downs in round 3. I get Yan is a fan favorite too, but God people are crazy if they think Sean lost.
Suga definitely landed more shots on Yan and did damage. He deserves the W

Nice how you missed the rest of the fight.
@@elchinex4138 cool bro
@@diamin2396 sick dude.
Fair play to him for not acting like he just won a shut out like so many other fighters who win controversial decisions
Like Yan when he spat his dummy out after being backpacked for 2 and a half rounds
You can see he’s processing the fight. I think he was very classy in his breakdown of the fight.
@@user-mu5ny1ks6t agreed, definitely a lot better than i thought he was. Not particularly a fan but he’s clearly a top 3-4 in the division and self reflectiveness could easily take him to the top
You can tell that he just got a huge wake up call and that he seemed pretty shocked that he got the decision win. Could’ve gone either way tbh. Such a fun fight to watch. Suga is definitely gonna evolve after this one
Same thinking. Split decisions aren't robberies, it was a close fight but definitely told Sean he needs to work on some things if he wants to remain at the top. Great fight
This is how I felt too- great fight. Could make an argument for it to go either way… big step up for Sean and he felt it.
I think he was just more shocked he didnt get knocked Out because he said it already twice he was rocked hes never been hit like that before so hes suprised he has a chin and can get through adversity you guys all have to reliaze all his fights he barely gets hit so to be hit he doesn’t know how judges score exchanges when you both get hurt
Yeah he definitely wasn’t confident about this “win”. He knows it was very close and isn’t hyping himself up at all. I think he finally knows for himself where he stands, which may not be the best in that division but definitely a top dude!
He finally knows what it feels like to actually get hit and I know he was in another world
He really turned Yan to a wrestler.
Yan was wrestling from round 1, sean us taller and fighting losing to people half his height
@@blackeyes1252 Beating people half his height* ....... Will they let him back into Orc land after losing to a guy with pink hair? hahahahaha
My man you really have to stop hating on fighters being effective MMA fighters. This isn't kickboxing. "Turning somebody into a wrestler" only works for guys who have zero grappling skills and exclusively rely on striking to win. In other words, a sign of real desperation. Yan took Aldo down in the last round before the finish and finished that fight on the ground against a gassed Aldo. He's not a pure striker. Go look at his takedown compilations.
Wasn't overly upset at the result due to the more damaging strikes came from O'Malley regardless of Petr's ground control time. This was sink or swim for Sean O'Malley and he certainly swam, phenomenal fight to watch and this lad proved to everyone that he does belong at the top end of this division. Hope he keeps his head high as it was a great fight for the fans.
Regardless of 5 min ground time 5 6 take downs 2 3 significant strikes by Yan ahahah what a guy
You’re a bot dude hired by the UFC, stfu
@@mv0921_ He didnt do alot with his ground game which was suprising
I'm happy to see that ground control didn't matter. Had damage been done on the ground then that's a diff story. But great fight.
@@Lockdown335 yeah but 5 minz plus take downs that counts what did Sean have zero take downs zero ground time m 1 significant strike that's it . Biggest robbery ever
Like he says, it was a sweet fight. That's what we want, to be entertained. Never a boring fight so far so I'll watch all his fights.
He certainly an entertainer but a also a real good fighter, and honest interviewer
Good fight, but Sean knows the truth, it was written all over his face after the fight before & after the decision. He couldn't hide it.
People are stupid suga landed more significant strikes in the fight. He busted up Peter and Peter didn't do anything on the ground Suga defended mostly all.
Even in this interview, he can’t hide it. Shits embarrassing.
You should read to official MMA scoring criteria, O’Malley won
It wasn't a bad robbery though. Very close fight. Sean did major damage we cant discount that
Damage > all with how they judge .. you can’t just shoot for takedowns and do no damage
Even Sean didn't believe he won the fight, but hat's off for the performance and yeah he belongs and showed his toughness !!!?
Yall are crazy. If anything, he didnt know who won the fight.

Thats bs u casuals keep repeating the same garbage, it was close
He’s so depressed, I would be to. He knows the truth and you can see it hurting his soul
yeah, he didn't want to win like that. He proved he is good though
What’s the truth?
When this happened in TJ vs Corey, everyone was on the side of damage. Now that it's Yan vs O'Malley, everyone suddenly thinks takedowns are worth everything. lmao
Yup lol
So wth happened with Yan vs Sterling 2? Lmao clearly everyone was on the side of ground control.
@@bboysaif8 tan didn’t do any damage in the rounds that Aljo took his back
Facts
It’s a good point but Petr dropped O’Malley a lot more than tj did to sandhagen I’m not mad at the call though I think it was close
Yan did not get robbed, the new scoring system doesn't put emphasis on takedowns, but what you do with them so you can't just float your way to a victory by holding your opponent the entire fight. That being said, Yan did not do anything with his takedowns except stall for time whenever he got hurt by Sean. Sean did more damage, had more significant strikes and hurt Yan 2 times over the 1 time he got hurt by Yan.
100 percent agree
Isn;t that how sterling won against yan with more takedowns?
@@ssatwick7584 Sterling was a submission threat each time he took Yan down
Common man they literally put the fight statistics before announcing the decision
@@ssatwick7584 Sterling controlled the entire round so damage was not a factor. Yan didn’t control Sean on the ground on the entire round, and damage was a factor in every round.
You're the man Suga. Nice work
He did a lot better than I thought but I think it’s TOTALLY clear he didn’t even expect this outcome. That O’Malley that always wanted a title fight isn’t there today.
My thoughts exactly. A couple years and he'll be an undisputed gangster
Yea he knows this wasn't a win even if his performance was , it showed he belongs , or he really thought he dominate
This is the best way to put this fight, I wouldn't say yan dominated him in any way but it was close.
Bro almost gets KOed 3 times. Started breathing hard at the end of round 1. Takes 20 minutes after the fight breathe. Looks tired in the interview. "GUYS HE THINKS HE LOST LMAO LOOK AT HIM !"
@@huoae Lmao relax peter also almost got koed
Suga very humble and realistic. Awesome fight either way
Aljo is going to have another successful title defense cause ain’t no way Sean is stopping Aljo from taking him down.
We have to get Chito in there to take out Aljo and then have the rematch with Suga and Chito.
yeah that's what i was thinking. If Yan is taking him down then Aljo is gonna have a field day with Sean
@@krisf4969 Chito ain’t beating Aljo cmon. The Chito/O’Malley rematch should be next
@@krisf4969 bro aldo controlled chito and kept him down. Aljo gets chito down, he ain't getting back up.
@Mark Roman Conor only had a significant height advantage over a couple featherweights… beat max who was way longer
You can tell 100% by Sean's face and his demeanor that if he had to fight Yan again, he has absolutely no idea who would win.
I’d say the complete opposite lol boy looks like he got brain damage and hit the lotto
@@traphomebaby say that to petr yans busted up eyebrow boy
I'd say they both feel the same, you could see how they were both praying for the decision before it was announced, that was such a close fight
@@lucian5389 yeah both didn’t look confident that they got the win, I want to see the aftermath of yans face.
You can see Sean learned alot from this fight. He looks tired and in deep thought. He will only get better and he proved he is alot better than many people thought
Spot on he looks exactly like that. Tired af and in deep thought.
Im so glad the judges realize when the other guy backs down from striking
Sean did more damage, but I thought Pete won. Regardless, Sean fought a great fight and is definitely a contender. Sean Vs Chito is the fight to make.
Yea can’t be mad at who won tbh at least it was a split decision and not a unanimous
Yan didn't do anything to win, that's why he lost.
He got takedowns but didn't really do anything with them
They will give Sean the title fight next they can’t risk him dropping a fight and never being able to main event him. From a business perspective title is the only way to go
I wanted Sean to win, I didn't think he did but I I need t understand how fights are decided. Am not a judge
You could see it in the post fight interview Sean was in disbelief, he knows he did not win that fight
Wrestling isn’t enough if you can’t hold someone down
That’s what happens when there isn’t a commission over seeing the event. The ufc picks the judges decides it all when the fights are in Abu Dhabi. Although Sean proved he belongs.
I think he was in the toughest fight of his life, where he got rocked. I think he's exhausted. As for the decision, it could've gone either way, and it went his way. He won the fight. FYI Control time doesn't mean anything when it comes to scoring a 3 rd stand up battle.
Disbelief???? He took the hardest shots he's ever taken. Of course he is not going to sound normal. Haters cry
Nah your just sad cos peter lost😂
His striking is on another level, like a video game character.
Now we need to see that Chito Vera rematch to see if that was a fluke like Sean said. Respect to him. Most people know how good he really is but was crazy to think some thought he was gonna KO Yan.
No one should need a rematch of that to be able to figure out whether it was a fluke or not, considering the fact it obviously was.. chito one fair and square, but landed a 1 in a million kick (that took luck rather than skill) he has never landed since
@@parthenon5106 that’s what Sean said not me it’s clear as day Chito won that but Suga lives in a different dimension
He literally almost knocked him out lmao
@@MikeTheProspect um. Can you explain to me where he said chito didn't win? Of course you can't, you've already proven your lack of reading comprehension. It's funny how when something is properly explained to you but you don't like it, your npc response is "you must live in another dimension". Maybe get a clue to save the embarrassment next time you try to make a stupld point.
@@trinidaddy can you read I wasn’t even talking about the guy who commented I was talking about Sean O’Malley. Tf you on. Also I wasn’t disagreeing with nobody so you’re the one out here getting pressed

Either way, good job taking it to the cards. Love ya suga 💪
That fight was amazing with amazing striking skills and a lot of stance switches from both guys which I loved. would like to see a rematch as I am sure it was 2-1 Petr Yan.
Yan landed so few ground strikes in total during those 5 minutes of control.... I think that's what factored for 2 of those judges.
its not like sean did any thing at ground. It was clearly rigged even sean himself knows that
Dana himself was definitely in someone’s earpiece telling them to sway it to Sean
100% he just wants a new Conor Macgregor It’s disgusting
@@sysksbdnja that's not how it works Lmao, the judges decide not dana
Sounds like some weird conspiracy BS you made up without proof, Peter was Boring af and bleeding all over the cage hugging the entire time
I thought Sean won rounds 1 and 3 but I was surprised two judges agreed that significant damage carries more weight than takedowns
he won the first round, lost both 2 and 3 lol he was definitely shook at the results but it is what it is. chito rematch would be a good fit for him

Dude knows what happened, UFC honored him. 😂😂
Win or lose I was happy with Suga’s performance being a big fan of him. I thought Yan was going to get the decision however I need to watch the fight over bc round 1 definitely matters. I thought Sean won round 3 definitively and Yan got 2 due to his control however I know he didn’t advance much or do much damage. Suga you’re the man. Enjoy this I can’t wait for the next pod after you return to AZ. Hope you get to right again in March or maybe Feb depending on how you heal up
Round 1 was pretty even in strikes/damage. A lot were grazing from both. I'd give rd. 1 to Yan because he had that big takedown and showed a bit more aggression. Thought Yan got 2 rounds in the bag. Either way it was close and really entertaining.
Well said my man
Suga stayed humble but leaked yan
Significant strikes 60+ for Suga and 50 for yan
He deserves to be number 1
Sean passed the heart check. My respect sir.
Even tho he should of lost suga is one of the best strikers in the division proven
Didn’t lose no matter what you think jorden the refs set his name in stone as the winner 🤷🏻♂️
Sad for Yan and for Suga Sean. Im sure he didn't want to win like that. This is the UFC putting money as their highest value, above everything else.

Good job, Suga. 🤙🏽
Great performance let’s not be negative. If Yan would’ve won everybody would be praising O’Malley. Keep that energy
True, he's not in control of the judges. He really put up a competitive fight and deserves respect and praise for that alone against a beast like Yan.
Everyone is praising Sean it’s the judges who are the issue
This was the only fight I picked wrong. And I must say, I was amazed and can’t wait to see some of of the Suga Show
Win or lose he showed how tough he is and that he is a real deal no matter the decision he stood two to two with Peter
I had a feeling someone might get fooked in just a 3 round fight, this should have been a 5 rounder if not a main event IMO. Hats off to both, you can tell Petr trainer differently for a 3 rounder. Not a big fan of O'malley but he fought extremely well, both were very impressive I just think that Petr had the better fight especially with that pressure!! Good fight fellas, hopefully we see it again in a main event..
Judges didn't count control time into this fight with Yan but they counted it in his rematch against Aljo? Make it make sense UFC
Brett Okamoto Asked All The Right Questions!
Even if he lost by decision, I would say he proved that he belonged.
He now can say that he is the best striker in the bantamweight division, because he is...and can call anyone out as they must be afraid as they where with Yan...top tier level the guy.
Boy you didn’t beat Peter tonight but great fight I think one of the best
He did beat petr 29-28 x2
He definitely beat Yan. Sean landed the more damaging shots.
Except he did beat petyr though
Big congrats, following sean since the beginning and waking my baby up during that fight ;) it was close and everyone knows it. Felt like 50/50 tbh but the damage sean did to yan is real and everyone saw that. it could easily have been a ko for both of them. keep training real hard and you can get the belt i want to see it.
Sean didn't win
@@alexpereira6528 want some soda with the salt?
Great work Suga! Can't wait to see you fight again.
Yan is a beast, and this kid not only hung with him, he beat him. I like this guy. His speed is ridiculous. He took some serious shots, you can see it all over his face. I wish him the best, he seems pretty chill.
best fight on card
I really enjoyed the fight and respect the performance Sean had however I do think Petr won and I do think giving the fight to Sean turns the narrative from being a great fight to being a bad decision
Ex Aussie PM Scott Morrison's Belly dangles left and right while he is roaming on the beach. Also a black wax comes out of his belly button
exactly
I think Yan won but I'm not mad because Sean proved a lot of Today
I thought Yan was gonna steamroll Suga. He did not. I really, really wonder what would've happened in rounds 4 and or 5 with that cut he opened on Yan. Wrestling is such a dominant overwhelming skill, however boring, I think Yan would've just kept getting the trips and takedowns and would've took the decision. Good job Suga, even though you actually lost, you proved your place.
Yep and sometimes a well fought loss is a win if anyone that can't benefit from a robbery it was Sean
Suga was playing it safe and not doing flashy blows. Maybe to conserve energy but when he had Petr rocked he should’ve done some spinning finishers and could’ve gotten a sick finish
The look and reaction to the announcement by Timbo was amazing!
Ex Aussie PM Scott Morrison's Belly dangles left and right while he is roaming on the beach. Also a black wax comes out of his belly button
@@johnmorrison6287 cool story bot.
@@remar-6 Its quite inspiring. Apparently he moves up and down and his belly rotates clockwise and anticlockwise. There is sweat and heatboils on his belly too.
Crazy how often someone wins a close fight and people scream robbery. Could've gone anyway but 1 and 3 for Sean is a totally fair scorecard
THANK YOU
Did you not see the stats ? 🤦♂️
People use the term robbery too frequently in my opinion, this was a very close fight and not a robbery.
That was one of the craziest fights I've seen in a while! Props to both guys. I had Yan by a hair but you can't call robbery when it was that close
Yan clearly lpet
100 i thought Sean won but im bias
Petres' take downs were more defensive, than offensive; and when he did get takedown, he didnt do a dam thing with it... Sean won. Def not a robbery
@@gingerprivilege421 exactly
@@gingerprivilege421 lmao no. He shot off of wobbling Sean dummy
New contender suga Sean!! He rose to the occasion! Hope he keeps his eye on the prize, there are huge fights on the horizon for him and his team
I was thinking Yan had edged out the victory, but I wasn’t shocked or mad when Sean won. It was a very close fight, both were hurt in two different rounds. I think what gave Sean the edge was the damage he caused to Yan in the third round with the knee, ultimately in the new judging criteria damage trumps all. So unless you can say for sure no questions Yan did more damage than Sean did, you can’t call this a robbery. Props to both guys.
Yeah good point dude i didn't think of the knee
It’s wild that these fighters absolutely cannot leave the fate of a match in the judges hands. These judges should be replaced by former and present fighters it’s insane how wrong they can be sometimes.
He lost….even he knows it.
Perfectly put. Round 1 was close, I leaned more towards Sean but round 3 was definitely his- absolutely bust yan up
“Edged out” you people have your heads in the sand. This was the most blatant robbery in UFC history.
Dude went Full Throttle
Good mooooorning Julia
@@jarnold1789 karen
whether suga sean win or lose he definitely deserves the respect he should get.. with that performances with the top top contender he belonged in the top 5 definitely... he's a beast
It was a sweet fight and pure entertainment. It was had many moments and was so close. Had everyone guessing who won. Tbh I agree with the decision
He techniacally lost the fight but laid the heavier and more visible damage
Well that is the biggest judging criteria soo he really didn’t lose
Technically, he landed the more damaging shots.
No he didnt. Petr took him down sure, but he did not deal any damage there.
And the fights are not judged by control time anymore, its about damage.
@@vipr1142 yea.. Petr wasn’t bleeding or anything..
yeah right petr didnt take any shots the whole fight and he clearly dominated sean every round
Lol at people saying “he knows he loss” like that’s gonna change the outcome lol great fight
Lok how he wasnt that excited ot hear he won. He knows he really didnt win or he would have been way more excited.
@@yousaidwhaaaattt8631 again what does that matter if he won ? Lol he gets the win taken cus he looks like he think he loss ? Lol
He proved he can grapple for sure he got up so well most of the time and has a strong guard game.
Well spoken from the heart
Let’s go Sean nice win run it back when you got the title
nice win lol
yeah ok🤣
He's excited to watch this fight cuz he can't believe he got the W he knows he lost lol
He got the W you got the L.
@@rogerj21 yo momma get this L when I hit it an quit it
@@topshottadinero3537 How old are you? 11? 😂
This is awesome. Feels like a sport
Awesome reporter, hit all the right questions!
Yan landed 6 sig strikes in 5 minutes of control time with 0 sub attempts. Sean had 84 to yans 58 significant strikes. You’re crazy if you think Sean lost
Didn’t think he won even though I’m a big fan. Glad he got that experience, regardless of the result his performance was great
