merab wearing seans jacket was hilarious
I noticed Merab with it on and figured Sean would be upset about it. Thought it was funny 😂
What was up with that? I didn’t see but I heard them say it. He took it or he had the same one or what
Isn’t that a Michael Jackson jacket
@@yourmomdx when sean faced off with aljo he threw his jacket off and merab picked it up n put it on lol
😂
Merab gifted Sean his red jacket❤️
Aljo always says merab is the type of guy to give u the shirt of his back
Hhhhhh🎉🎉🎉🎉
O'Malley was praying that Henry won cause he will have a massive reach advantage against Henry. Now Sean is just gonna get ragdolled by Sterling.
@Hjknb I’m telling ppl O’Malley wins 💯
Everyone who overlooks Sean at this point is just a hater because he shocked people every fight so far and I’m now a huge supporter. I hope he gives us fireworks with Aljo.
@Hjknb lol you definitely said Henry would finish aljo
@sauron1760 You are hopelessly wrong. Sugar was HANDED a roster of easy kills in a weight class that, for the most part, was the WEAKEST weight group in UFC history!!!!
Sugar never HAD anyone like Aljo in his face before and he will get folded up like a lawn chair in round one.
Mark my words.
I picked Belal AND Aljo as winners.
I am RARELY wrong and 9 for 10 go the way I call it.
Making FAT cash off my watching tv hobby here....
@@_GandalfTheGrey_ we got shocked by the judges giving Sean the win over Yan. Anyone who can't grapple at this level is 100% a lemon
he said merabs doing his little russian things🤣🤣🤣🤣
Fr whatever that means😭🤣
Dude thinks Merab is Russian😂
@@noelnoni7310 not, he said it because merab hate russians because he is georgian
@@noelnoni7310 Basically Russian

Merab wearing a red leather jacket was the highlight of the main event 🤣
Performance of the night right there
Ahhahahhahahahhzhzh😂so funy
Love how Merab got to his head by wearing O’Malley jacket 😂 Dude is a master troll
It looked so much better on merab 🤣
Taking what from who?? 🤼🤼♂️🤸♂️🤸♀️🤸
@@kayapower2003nobody got ragdolled in that fight, actually cejudo had the most explosive takedown of the fight in rd 5
Your right Merab does look just like a bridge troll
I’m not going to lie I wanted to see Henry cejudo vs Sugar O’Malley
dana should strip that actor . fake legacy N
Henry you won go win a couple you will be back fighting to get the title back
@@rickstearns1211 nope
Sean would knock him out. Cejudo never uses his wrestling in his fights effectively if not ever. Plus the reach difference, and Cejudo’s too small for 125.
@@beaualoevv quiet, dork
Doesn't matter who won tonight. Both Aljo or Henry would rag doll O'Malley.
Casual.
You mean dry hump his leg because of their lack of entertaining the fans with their horrible stand up? 😂😂
@@codyfoster8730 bruh . You is the casual here
Not Henry lmao Sean has a pretty good chance against Henry Height does does matter Sean is like 5 inches taller than Henry
Not so sure about that, my friend. Although I was beyond impressed with the Aljo/Cejudo fight, I still hope Suga wins. It was a pretty ridiculous idea to have Sean come in the cage, in my humble opinion tho. Whatever. We'll see. But I mos def respect everyone's opinion on here for sure.
Peter Yan watching Sean saying that Aljo got gifted that decision 😂😂
@@dammaguy1286 the first obviously. The second not really bro. He got mauled
@@Primogaggi hes talking about yan got robbed from sean o malley win
@@Primogaggi He got robbed in the first? Are you serious? The cheater got robbed?
Careful a Suga Sean fan might get in their feelings 😆
@@dammaguy1286 who tf should get it then?? Aljo has beat everyone else
Hope O’Malley has been putting in work since his Yan fight. Excited to see him fight again, win or lose!
Dude is overrated AF why are you even a fan ?
Yup! He better have a way of getting back up that is impressive and unique.
Sterling clearly won. Way more strikes landed and took Cejudo down multiple times. Cejudo didn't do enough to take that belt after a 3-year layoff
Aljo chewed that left leg up. Cejudo wont be walking next few day, moused his face up and kneed him flush in the forehead. Idk what fight people were watching that a split decision was even warranted. clear 4-1 or 3-2 Sterling
The way more stokes were only leg kicks on the left leg. But when it came to hands Aljo had no hands stop the cap. The only reason Aljo won was because he had the belt if Cejudo had the belt he wins that fight to the judges
I agree. He clearly won.
@@swood1873was lowkey thinking the same thing just kicking and kept shooting suga gone be a lil problem for him though 😵💫
@@swood1873it doesn't matter where
He got his jacket back😂
got it back from who? maybe Webster? or Alfonso Ribbiero
ALJO is the man.
Of coarse. The all 4s man.
Sean has a nerve to speak on gifted wins ...😂
@@trentonenglish9214 O Malley lost that fight and he knew it in the interview.
It was a competitive fight but Sean had Yan panic wrestling.
@@trentonenglish9214 O’Malley lost that fight clear as day. He only won round 3 and that could’ve gone either way

Yeah definitely O’Malley we all know if you were fighting the belt would of been handed to you on a platter…
sean won no cap
@@ItsameAlex Sean won no CAP ??
Lmao he got his jacket back 🤣
What's the big deal over this guy? Peter gave him a terrible time
Aljo absolutely battered Peter, don't rate shauns chances at all however he's OK at stand up.
lol aljo didnt batter yan
Bruh put some respec on Aljo’s name. Guy clearly won the fight.
Try talking like an adult.

Nah
@Samsung Galaxy this. Man aljo is a boring champ, even his OWN state boos him.
Sean at 2:33: "He's doing his little Russian things that they do."
Merab is Georgian😏
Meh same thing
@@_GandalfTheGrey_ No it's not the same thing. Georgia is an independent nation in eastern Europe. If you had some basic geographic knowledge then you would've known that but you probably don't even know what day it is😂🤣
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns I know it’s technically a different nation, but meh it’s pretty much the same thing because Georgia really doesn’t matter much on the world stage and it’s close enough
@@_GandalfTheGrey_ Still it's not the 'same thing' as you wrongly said. Whether Georgia matters or not is a totally different issue. The fact remains that Georgia and Russia are 2 distinct nations. Even their languages aren't similar. Jesus, your ignorance has no limits.
@@IAMJEFFREY-cw9ns Yeah but meh nobody really cares
At this point, I can’t believe I’m rooting for O’Malley to win and bring more excitement to the division lol
Same. I'm not a fan of suga but I can't stand aljo. I hope Sean puts him to sleep
ALJIO THE GOAT BANTAMWEIGHT!!!! SUCK IT HATERS.
@@time.2869 Who is TJ Dillashaw
@@Last_Chance. and still go cry little bich
@@Last_Chance. Aljo will take Sean down, drown him and then strangle him.
He salty after the face off cause he nodded at the decision before😂
I wonder what O'Malley said when he saw Merab wearing his jacket.
He didn’t take your jacket you literally handed it to him😂😂😂
Merab wearing your jacket 😂😂😂😂
Love the jacket 🤣
If sean omalley calls you a goofball, you definitely are.
I had Henry 3-2
ALJIO THE GOAT BANTAMWEIGHT!!!! SUCK IT HATERS.
Close af rounds & uneducated judges lead to catastrophe decisions.
4-1
It’s good that you ain’t the judge
I'm very impressed by henry even after 3 years layoff he is better in everything than strling....look at henry hight n size short hand but better striking if he is the same size im sure henry ll ko him
And they should’ve interviewed the jacket🎉
Please win Sean
Thanks for the video, ESPN MMA
Isn’t that Merab’s jacket?
Sean 1' malley ladies and gentleman!👏
Sean is funny 😂
Glad Sean got his jacket back. He should wear it out now for all future fights -
beginning with Aljo.
2:27 She said it, then looked at his jacket lol.
Aljo won clearly...round 2 nd 5 for CCC .It's one thing being a coach and it's whole different when u r fighting we saw the difference today...cejudo wrestling was cancelled out easily by sterling with his size and on the feet he was kicking hitting him in the face , low leg kicks ,great body shots switching stances keeping the range and letting cejudo come to him and wen cejudo was trying to figure out he hitting him with those lethal kicks...grt job funkmaster get Job and for cejudo he should fight merab and if he looses to him then he should call it a career and focusore on coaching but if he wins he should fight sterling strt up...
Though m a fan of suga but with that performance u can't bet against aljo...he has improved leaps and bounds since the time he fought Yan for the first tym
not clearly but he did win
A 3 year rusty Henry lol
I like suga but i get the vibe hes trying to be someone hes not and that can backfire real quick, hope he stays humble and a good dude
Dude got on a the Thriller jacket from MJ video.
Man you love him or hate him, Aljo is a dangerous fighter man, he proved it against Henry tonight.
I am underwhelmed withe Aljos performance. I thought, he would be better with all the circumstances.
Champ Suga 2023
If he beat aljo he makes my day
Why is Sean wearing Merabs jacket ?
Suga obviously trolling. It was a clear 3-2 to Aljo.
Many people are stating that Henry won 3-2, so no he is not trolling.
I haven't watched it, yet
But many are already saying Henry was robbed.
@@righteousone8454 please comment after watching thank you
@@ksenyaehorova1504please comment after Memorial day. Thank you
@@notabot......................1 bruh what. 😂
Triple C King won the fight.
Aljo needs time off those weight cuts are no joke
I can’t believe he actually bought that jacket
Merab gave it to him
Fight was close I could see it be 3-2 Henry but sterling caused more damage
Sugar v henry would be a mismatch with the height different
Henry v volkonovski would have been nice to see but no chance now
Henry didn't look too bad so could have another fight but featherwight top 5 are all too big for him and in bantamweight he does not have a big fight but merab or petr
Cejudo did 0 damage the whole fight
If CCC has trouble with Sterling, Volk would bury that dude
@@pranavmalavalli5582 u don't understand fights stick bathing cows curry boi
Mojahed got some content in hand with that jacket
Funny i thought the same thing when he fought Petr lmao.
aljo won more strikes forward pressure henry only started picking it up and making it closer at the end
2, 3, 5 Cejudo. Close fight, but Derek Cleary scoring the 5th for Aljo is the clearest fix ever. Same with the media scores having it 21-2 for Aljo on MMADecisions even though the hundreds of fan scores have it 50/50%. Why is it that only certain kinds of fighters always win close decisions? 🤔
Stop man. Aljo out struck him almost every round and when Cejudo had the dominant position he did nothing with it. Aljo got more takedowns (by 1) and just did more
Lmao
Bro that same man gave henry a early round lol sterling win round 1234
if suga submits aljo some how that would be wild
O malley the goat
nice Michael Jackson tribute jacket
If i was sean i wouldnt have even out the jacket back on after merab took it
Merab is the goat 🐐
I had it 4-1 Aljo. It wasn't even that close tbh.
Watching it live I had 1 2 3 4 Aljo but I gotta re watch it
The stats say Aljo was outstriking and out wrestling him which matches up with what I saw
It was very close. Actually the difference was one judge gave aljo round 5 that’s just terrible. Round 1 was clear aljo round 5 clear cejudo 2-4 we’re back and forth. So I could see those rounds being debated but not 1 or 5
@@jocoolshow na i had it the same better striking and did more damage on the ground
@@jocoolshow ur right
3-2 aljo but still close
Protect your jacket at all times
Say goodbye Suga
Thriller jacket 🧥 look nice bro I hope I can get that one
as soon as Merab saw how Ghey that coat looked he gave it back.. lol
Aljo gonna be -200 favorite when the line drops!
1985 called...it wants it THRILLER JACKET back!
They did not include it on here but at the very end Sean was shooting his shot at Megan
I see O’Malley got Rug Doll by Aljo and submit him by rear naked choke!
Aljo had Henry's back at one point... Idk Sean
UFC is basically WWE now, so yea Sean is gunna win. That's why Aljo won last night, to build his name up so it looks that much more impressive when Sean wins a decision on him, then they'll likely work for a trilogy fight between them.
One thing is for sure...if sterling plays the stand up game a second too long with suga sean, hes guna get clipped. Aljos striking works for him cause of his length, he throws without set up, or intelligence and just hopes for his shots to stick. Sean will read him very quick and set up a head kick knock out. BUT if aljo gets on Omalleys back its game ovet
Shut you mouth casual
Aljo is a master at his game stop denying is ability
I think Sterling is physically stronger than Sean O'Malley, if he catches him it'll be hard for Sean.
if sean catches him it’ll be hard for aljo
I think Sean will be a harder match up for Aljo
exactly you think
Need seans plug because 4-1 to henry is crazy.
Sean has been gifted the perfect path to the title, from preferable match making (Almeida, Moutinho, Paiva), to being allowed to completely disregard legitimate obstacles (the Vera loss, the Munhoz NC) to straight up robbing a win from Yan. Now he has to prove that it was all justified. I predict Sterling will win.
100% facts. UFC favorable matchmaking let him climb up the rankings fighting ONLY strikers this far into his mma career. But now he's f*cked at the top of the division. He can't run from elite grapplers anymore now that he's at the top of the division. Whether it be Aljo, Merab, Henry... they all rag doll O'Malley with their grappling.
same thing i was thinkin lol but added that the thriller coat is ugley lol
munhoz faked it cause he was frozen af... vera was unfortunate, yan i think it was a toss up would have liked a draw and rematch
Yeah. He's not one of the greats of the division, but his knockouts are top tier and he's the most marketable. I think it would be awesome to see a knockout artist with a long reach to hold the belt
Thanks agree with you this guy is a clown if he think he is legitimate he is in Dana s paper
Winning a fight on the back foot and leg kicks is weak to me. And the fact a judge gave aljo the fifth round is crazy lol
Its a good thing you're aren't a judge. Can't have clueless casuals who let their emotions cloud their judgement judge fights.
He won the 5th ??? Lol thats crazy
@@scottmichael7178 that what i said?! He clearly lost the 5th n i thought that round was the winning round i had it 2-2 until round 5
@@24karrotsjay_n_kids_acct 100%, this is #1 bullshiet
MSG in November if not Abu Dhabi in October. Sterling won't fight any sooner than October. I don't mind if I am wrong and it's July because Moreno vs Pantoja for main event isn't the best choice for international fight week
Aljo said september
Lmfao you weren’t surprised Suga that was 4-1 Aljo.
thought it was his coat boy
Why is Sean wearing merabs jacket?
to be the champ you have to beat the champ, definitively
No u don’t u have to take 3 rounds
@@motion1913 yeah but if the rounds are close then you could get overlooked
To win you need to win, we know
I thought u have to lose to the champ
🎵CAUSE THIS IS THRILLER, THRILLER NIGHT🎵
Man y’all know they give the champ the benefit of the doubt, no surprise there 🙄
Lol na sterling won shouldn’t have been split
💯 henry won this ..he is better in everything even he is short small in reach still his striking kick grappling r next level ...if henry was same size like sterling he ll ko him
There was no doubt to benefit from. Sterling should have won UNANIMOUSLY. I think it's insane that it was a split decision.
Megan that color blue looks amazing on you.
Always nice to hear from the champ Suga Show 🙏🏼
champ of rainbow afros and lucky charm face tattoos...NOT of Fighting
It dont surprise me after that Peter yan fight he still got the score wrong lol
Aljo 4for 15 on tds Henry was the aggressor he won that fight
Pretty sure you never read the judging criteria...
@@JohSentenza lol, what judging criteria, it changes every single fight. Someone wins because they have more control time, but got out struck, the next fight someone who outstikes the guy with more control wins. Its ridiculous and isnt consistent
I want merab to get that belt next! Definitely aljos last bw fight
The fun thing merab dvalishvili is geting skip 😂 Dame he should it be next
Volunteered to be gatekeeper (and poorer)
Those that don’t know, the jacket is a homage to Michael Jackson’s thriller night
ngl, unless Sean knocks Aljo out, which could happen as it’s a fight nonetheless….I see Sterling backpacking him and keeping that strap. And Don’t get me wrong, I love Sean but beyond striking, I don’t think he can beat Aljo
Aljos not fighting for another 9 months good luck
Facts
Pretty sure aljo said september he wants Sean.
There was also a 9 or 10 months gap between O'Malley two last fights...
I hope this guy wins so that Song Yadong can take the belt
Yadong is a beast bro! I hope he gets the belt
Straight punches beat looping punches
Song lost to Sean's training partner

Hope o'malley kos aljo just to shake up the division abit also o'malley could move up to featherweight too
The decision was good unless stuffing takedowns scores you a lot of points idk, but Henry did that very well the whole fight. It was close but still Aljamain clearly won and I was routing for CCC.
Seeing him with his jacket on after handing it to Merab tells me the whole cage incident with Aljo was planned.
Hey Sean, I just smoked a blunt
