DC put that cap on fast after talking about hair 🤣🤣🤣🤣 1-0
He already had the hat on he just took it off to ask him what they could do with his nonexistent hair lol
@@jpolancoj stop defending him
@@joaquin57 Shut up you myopic digimon
@@joaquin57 Stop not defending him
@@iisChOoLboy stop harassing me
O’Malley should have left the hairdresser skit for Ariel, I feel like he would have appreciated it more
I don’t think it’s that planned
It doesn't even seem like a skit.
Skit? The man is just legitimately getting his hair done. There’s no skit about it. You think he’s planning his 2 hour hair appointment around when he’s on interviews?
interview is 10 minutes, his hair takes 4 hours to complete. definitely has done his hair on ariel’s show before
He’s already done it with Ariel
This is the fight I'm most excited about seeing in the near future. Even if Sean loses, if he makes a good accounting of himself his stock will go up but if he wins.....sky is the limit, we all got a front row seat to see if he is about to be the next superstar. Moments like these are the reasons most people watch the UFC. Best of luck kid!
Well said
Yeah Suga really has nothing to lose. He’s not undefeated even tho in his mind he is haha. But even if he’s competitive then it will be a great showing since the step up in competition is massive fighting yan. The last step up in competition we saw was against chito and Pedro. Lost to chito and then Pedro he didn’t look that impressive and ended in a weird way, honestly Pedro is a warrior but it seemed he wanted a way out in that fight imho but Suga didn’t look that impressive but yan is a massive step up and if he beats yan then mannn he will blow up to the moon in popularity.
How fast sentiments change 😂
Totally agree but he's 27, not a kid.
Well said
This is a perfect fight for him absolutely perfect. if he goes and puts Yan,s lights out he becomes instantly everything he has portrayed he is.
Wow if Sean beats a top ranked guy he is legit you’re a genius
i can’t wait for this fight
This fight gonna be arguably more anticipated that the main event. Whole card is fire
@@blackscar9427 yeah in some way but bro I hope sean does this
Yan is going to absolutely destroy Sean
@@Last_Chance. you said the same thing against aljo
@@Bluzzee Yeah but Aljo is More skilled than Sean, and has the same reach than Sean's. And he didn't hurt Yan.
FIRST CHAMP OUT OF THE CONTENDER SERIES
His confidence is different level. He doesn't really do the trash talking thing. You can see in his eyes and his verbal cues that he knows he is great.
Unconscious??? What fight did you watch ?
@@iamcam6896 what fight did you watch??? he was flash Ko'ed from Chito elbowing his head in, go rewatch it, you'll see lmao
@MindCast lol if you think he was knocked unconscious then you probably think WWF is real .
The series show he is a confident young man
@MindCast why do you keep doubling down on hearing him snoring when it clearly didn’t happen lmfao..? I really don’t like the way O’Malley carries himself, but that was a TKO for sure
Petr by KO in 13 seconds to create Sean's Aldo moment.
Petr hasnt knocked out anybody in years
@@mmacult5336 wouldn't that be quite the moment then!?
@@mmacult5336 he was finishing everyone dude before he made it to the top 5, an also Yan isn't that great of a counter puncher is why he dont have alot of kos on his record. But he does have some finishes.
😂 I’m rooting for Sean but that was funny
this is immediately what I thought lol
Sean O’Malley: “I think I could have my Jose Aldo moment.”
So Petr is going to KO him with a left 13 seconds into the fight?
Casual
@@TwinMillMC thank you✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
Nah I think he’s referring to when Yan pounded Aldo’s head into a blood puddle while the ref looked on with hands in pockets. As in that’s what’s going to happen to him too.
@@hhbentee casualwockee
Yeah 😂
“Peeeeter Yan” 👽🤣 1:57
I’ve never been on the Sean train but I do hope he wins this one.
With his reach and movement I think he's gonna be landing. But its the leg kicks and the trips from Petr that could cause some trouble for him.
Especially with Sean’s paper ankle
lol back with that narrative
@@DuffmaneB it does get blown out of proportion but it’s the same with the narrative petr is a slow starter. Petr being a slow starter cost his one single fight his entire career and that was aljo. But just like with that narrative and the Sean has weak legs there is still some truth to both narratives even if they get blown way out of proportion by commentators and fans. Sean does seem injury prone to the legs and this has occurred even in fights he’s won, and with his movement and the length he fights at and with the issues he’s had in the past it’s not a dumb thing to target his legs just like petr does take the first round to gauge speed and timing and make reads before heating up so in a 3 rounder it’s smart to try and overwhelm him and put on volume the first 2 rounds to try and take a decision before he inevitably has made his downloads and reads and starts smoking and obliterating you later in the fight.
@@worldview6218 yans gonna start fast in 3 rounders. He has done that in all his 3 round fights
I think this goes the distance
O'malley's fans think Jose Aldo and Cory Sandhagen is the same strength as Paiva,Wineland,Almeida.
I've never heard a "superstar" talk about being a star as much as this guy. Lol
It’s annoying. I think that’s why a lot of people can’t get to liking this guy. He’s skilled but his attitude just rubs people the wrong way. And talking about himself in 3rd person.
@@marcinzygmunt4411 his attitude wouldnt be annoying to me if he dressed normal instead of like a clown thats the funny part lol like its the combination of his personality with his attire that annoys me
@@Alex-me3yn yeah he’s forsure a frat boy idiot type to me. He never partied as a kid so now that he is it’s like he’s 16 again lol. Just comes off as a douche to me.
Conor
@@Alex-me3yn imagine being offended by the way another man dresses
Nice to see Suga with his two side pieces while doing a show 👌
Good style match up!
I'm just trying not to smirk as I remember what happened when Jose Aldo faced Petr Yan...
mma math isnt real
@@HKscummy he isn't using mma math. He's saying Aldo got smashed on the canvas. Yan could do the same to Sean.
They put those words in his mouth lol
O'Malley is that thing 🐐
He is not though😂😂😂. He is that thing that got crushed by Vera and then didn’t take responsibility for the loss. In Montana we call those people GAPERS
@@hayseanward that's just goat talk bud
I think it's going to be a good fight but once Pete finds his rhythm he'll start picking him apart and out wrestling him I see a lot of rear takedowns and leg sweeps that is unless petyr comes in angry again and without focus
Yan is like 4 ft 11. Can he even reach sugas head?
Reach means he will have to extend himself to land, and open up in the process. He'll try to mix body and leg strikes.
@@fatguy8431 he beat sandhagen already
@@fatguy8431 watch the sandhagen fight sandhagen is 5”11
We haven't even seen omalleys ground game yet so you can't even say that really
I really don’t want this hype train to end, hope it keeps going
O Malley really just needs to survive and have some good moments to keep the hype train alive
I hate to say it but Yan is gonna destroy him. I just don’t think Malley is ready for the kind of pressure and rebutted.
why
The hype was already derailed by chito 🤡
@@NJ-uy9br nah sean hurt his ankle at the first of the fight, doesnt rlly count
Prime conversation-interview
Suga is the perfect nickname for him 😂
Let’s go Sean 💪🏾 u got this
Sean has had >5inch reach advantage in Literally ALL of his fights.
@Cody Last Name Yeah, but Sean does not have a high ape index like McGregor, Izzy, etc.
Man been fighting dudes with T-rex arms if OP is telling the truth.
yeah and hes always talking about how his opponents are so short and how their midgets and im thinking well your six foot and fighting at 135 how tall do you expect your opponents to be.i think thats what his ped use was about being 6 feet tall and fighting at 135 and still having the strength to fight. i think hes young and just naturally good at cutting weight and still has the help of special suppliments so he can make the weight, but soon he will have to move up and fight guys closer to his size.
@@cindyheier3733 Are you saying people get bigger and denser with age? You should write a book.
@@derekgill5953 no in all sports that have weight cutting its harder for the athlete with heavier or taller frames for their weightclass to keep making the weightcut as they get older and by old i dont mean very old just late twenties to thirty.dont need to write a book just look at the history of boxing and mma for evample most people know this.
@@cindyheier3733 he's 27 I'd get if he was 22 or something but the guy has his frame. Unless he makes a clear effort in getting bigger I think he can stay 135 if he walks around 160. The man has his regime in place and is super healthy. I think 135s is his spot.
Good questions
I can actually see a scenario where he wins. But an Aldo moment, I think he and most people forget how good Connor was when he first came to ufc, unbelievable
He was good when he was the bigger guy in the division. Case closed!
Conor was good but he was a weight bully at 145 hasn’t had the same success at 155.
Conor is still good. Just no longer fighting featherweights
@@ryanb9305 stupid dipshit, he was weight drained which is why it’s more impressive
Connor was fast, precise and knew how to put power on the end of his punches. Sound like anyone to you?
Sean always has fun matches, should be a great one with Yan 👏👏👏
I have to admit I was not a fan of RC stepping in on this show but man has he stepped it up and you can tell he takes it seriously. He’s actually great at this and he definitely deserves it. respect.
In my opinion Cory Sandhagen would wipe the mats with Sean Omalley, and we all seen what Yan did to Cory
We all know MMA math doesn’t work out like that
@@brandonmcglinchey4571 mma math doesn't work period but if it did, this would be as good as argument as any because its true.
This is the fight I’m most excited about tbh in this Stackedddd card
Casual
@@TwinMillMC are u guys npc's ? It appears "casual" is ur standard response when someone express a view u don't agree with
I’m pretty excited for this too. I’m most pumped for Charles’ fight , but this is going to be intriguing af
@@parthenon5106 what's funny is over the 7 years I've been watching ufc and been apart of the mma commenting community, I've noticed that the word "casual" has only been used forlike the last 2 years, so it's alot of the newcomers throwing that word around.
@@ngatiwarrior6975 ye it appears so
He's not going to have any hair by the time he's 30 lol
Dear lord. Pray for this mans hairline 😂
Good 👍
Peter Yan will show off his wrestling.
"Jose Aldo moment"? So Sean is going to get knocked out in 12 seconds? Because if he means he would be the one winning in 12 seconds, that would be a Conor McGregor moment lol
I didn't want to post that because I was sure someone would have already...and here it is....
DC is a real one you can tell he genuinely wants O'malley to do good things with his career that's what I like about UFC, the legends stay part of the sport even when they're retired Hall of famers
6:54 "There is no one in the UFC right now that is that Connor level"
Khamzat enters the chat
Sean has a solid chance in this. His attributes fit this match up very well. It’s just a matter of how quick he gets going and if the mid way into the 2nd round he keeps out of range. Yan is a slow starter or as people say “he’s downloading”.
There’s a lot of fan boys picking “their guy” but objectively this could be a really fun fight that any guy can win.
i wouldn't say "Solid" but i do see a path to victory for him. On paper.
Sean has maybe a 15% chance just based on the fact he could get lucky and land a stray that KO’s someone .
@@bridgelaurie9490 it’s a 3 round fight and Sean statistically lands over 2 more strikes per min and at a higher accuracy than yan too. Its got good potential to be Sean by decision
"Solid chance"??? What planet are you on? Have you not seen any of Yan's fights? Omalley hasn't even proven himself against a good opponent yet
@@YourMom_27 he's also fought half the competition petr has
I wanna see O'malley fight Sandhagen.
Get it right B! It’s Sand-DA-Hagen
@@1975Adamd I wanna see O'Malley fight Sand-DA-Hagen.
I think he could get knocked the fk out
It's not gonna be a close fight. " Levels " LMAO. Only " level " is Petr getting " Leveled " on that Canvas. Think about the LEVELS Sean has JUMPED recently !
On his way to the top. History in the making.
He is right he have a jose aldo moment in this fight because we all know what yan do with aldo
Man, I almost got pissed reading that title, but then I realized O'Malley is just a brilliant self-promoter. That kid knows what he's doing
Suga is the next superstar 🔥
Glad Omalley is showing respect.
This has fight of the night potential
-9:01 felt the awkwardness there
The delay on this show always makes it so awkward bro DC always a question behind they gotta fix this lol
More close? Wow.
Lol, I was expecting O'Malley to say something snarky when DC asked if they could do anything with his bald head considering their past Twitter quarrel.
Getting sparked clean out?
love sug
DC asking if people want him to lose because of how fast he has risen. In all honestly, O'Malley has risen fairly slow, he may be making a big jump in from his level of competition but still pretty slow as far as time, McGregor fought for the title in 2 1/2 years, Moreno in 4 years, Chimaev has only been in UFC for 2 years and he'll be fighting for title soon whereas O'Malley has been in the UFC for almost 5 years and may fight for title soon if he wins.
U realize he got a 2 year suspension right
@@i3aptizd Yes and whose fault was that?
they need to create beef and hype and this will be a legendary fight
Very interesting fight coming up. I don't think Peter gets away with the bullying he hit on Aljo because Sean will make him respect his power. So like DC said tactical striker with reach advantage against a shorter counter striker with good leg kicks.
This dude is seriously getting his hair done during an interview
And? Girls do it all the time.
the new generation. In ten more years they will be transitioning genders live during interviews and between rounds.
And
@@cup_holder it is a bit unprofessional but he does it on purpose to be the heel and clearly it is working lol
@@cup_holder it's disrespectful. Just plan the interview and talk in a quiet room like other fighter. I can't see Fedor or Cro Cop do this stuff, just the new Dana white lapdogs.
I like how sean asked his sister and gf to do his hair as the stream rolled to make it seem like he didn't plan this
That's not his sister.
@@brad3741 oh dam, gf and his cousin
i like sean but this is so obvious that he plans all this .. pretending to not care , while he clearly cares…it’s cringe tbh
@@beaualIoevv he’s leaving for Abu Dhabi he doesn’t have much of a choice but to get his hair done when the hair dressers are available an right before he leaves. It’s gotta be around when his girl an another hair dresser are free to do it too.
Yan is going to absolutely destroy Sean
Sean is extremely cool and DC is the best! That other dude is funny too. Go sugar Sean go!
“Jose Aldo moment” ?? What you mean retirement?😂😂Jk
Sugafam bout to cash in on Oct 22
If by Jose Aldo moment he means when Petr beat up Jose Aldo. Then yes I agree
C 7 😱 🔥🐐🇵🇷
O’Malley is finna get stomped
Bro why does Ryan Clark talk like he’s in a Disney commercial all the time
I like Sugar but he isnt beating Petr. I think the striking is comparable and Petr is much more durable. Sean has power and he can snipe, but he is a slightly inferior version of sandhagen.
Interesting fight tbh, feel like its easy to say Yan is going to win but if anyone can pull it off it's going to be O'Malley! Wonder if he goes straight for the title fight if he wins or if he has another before the title!
And what makes you say that? Yan had held the strap. He's proven.
What's o malley proven to make you think if anyone can pull it off he can?
Just curious
@@330wiz7 I agree that anyone who can beat Yan deserves a title fight, but I feel like I remember seeing an interview a while ago of Sean saying he doesn’t want to rush to a title fight, but actually thinking about it if he wants Yan then he probably wants a title fight after lol
No way you were saying this before the fight was made 😂 I guarantee you wrote Sean off entirely
@@mrmolloy lol nah, I’ve watched enough MMA to know at the highest level anything can happen. I want Sean to win, I don’t think he will but I know it’s possible he can and I hope he does
D.C. is “a lot of people” 😂😂😂
*Have to time the dying of the hair for the ESPN interview for content*
I could also see him getting slept in 13 seconds
Sean has to beat Peter to... pay Paul?
Because this is a 3 round fight it’s definitely winnable for sugar, he’s probably gonna win the first round because of petrs slow start and the second round is the one that really matters because petr is most definitely gonna win the third round.
Wat lol
@@Sirap112 trouble reading english?
Yan is a very slow starter so i agree with you Sean will do some amazing things in the 1st round then after the 2nd Yan will start to read him and then most likely dominate.
@@h.r.169 nah sorry I got o malley he’s gonna win that first round second round he gonna win the round but it’s gonna be close yan gonna win the 3 rd round 😊
Let's go suga! 💪
lmao good luck buddy. Yan boutta kill this clown.
If Yan is a favorable matchup for Sean cuz of him being a ‘striker’ same logic would count Vice versa. It’s not like Yan looked great against the heavy grappler last time out. For as far as people value that analysis, it should go both ways.
one big problem... Petr Yan is not Aldo.
Yeah he won't be emotional either
@@gti5700 easy to say but what legacy does Yan have so far? Not comparable.
Never seen Sean’s wrestling but I got Yan because of Muay Thai and clinch work
"To a dummy," this kid lmao
I sense some tension between sean and dc
Probably doesn’t like he’s getting his hair done while doing a interview , might come of as douchy to some people
@@Jeffro288 it’s because they have had disagreements in the past
Petr Yan is really about to finish this hype train once and for all.

@@gamebred2413 nice another alt account
I don’t want Sean to lose anytime soon, we need that Chito rematch at the top of the division for the belt. So I do want Sean to get the KO, then Chito will be on his heels.
why would there be a rematch?
@@onward8231 Chito will be champion soon, I see no one beating him
I prefer Sean speaking as he has here - more humble, more about the actual climb, not ahead of himself, labelling himself as somehow the goat, or stroking his own ego. That will gain him yet more fans and people behind him. Cormier was his usual charming, classy self, always trying to give back and offer advice.
When this fight was first announced I had Yan winning but the closer it gets the more I'm leaning towards O'Malley. Not a O'Malley fan but the guys a good fighter. After seeing aljo take it to Yan on the feet in the second fight I think O'Malley could piece him up
Hahahahahaa Islam 😂😂
Suga has the reach for sure. Yan is fast also so we'll have to wait and see who is faster and who hits harder. Yan is better everywhere. Sean's style just might be perfect for fighting Yan, considering Yan doesn't start fast. However he gets better every round. I'm excited for this one.
Once yan gets rainbow boy down on the ground like he did to Aldo Rainbow is fuked
@@joescaletta9665 it would be the biggest upset in UFC history so my heart hopes he pulls it off but my head says he gets freight trained
@@joescaletta9665 this bonehead don't know about omalleys bjj
@@ilovetheatf sean is a brown belt petr is a blue belt in Bjj maybe sean has a little more experience bonehead but big Whoop 😂 they both know BJJ and tbh it really doesnt matter if sean has a little more experience because he is purely a standup fighter his striking is his best weapon he is going to want to stand with Yan. Yan is dangerous in the clinch with his takedowns and off the ground. Jose Aldo was a black belt in Bjj and Yan as a blue belt beat the 💩 out of him and completely dominated Aldo on the ground still
💯% you thought he never takes the fight and stood absolutely no chance, how times change 😂
Only thing is he going to be Aldo is his Aldo moment
Ok...I am booking the next day off work, I NEED to be drunk for this card. 🍺
I can see Sean doing what Aljo did against Petr in the first round for full 3 rounds. Utilising his foot work and reach. 5 rounds would be a different Story because Petr always comes hard in the last two
That's what I was thinking too. I think o'malley will take him three rounds and use distance and just outscore him. Could see him win a decision
well yan isn’t dumb, he knows it’s 3 rounds as well. he fights the way he fights bcs he’s a main event fighter but now that’s it’s only 3, he may come in strong in the 2nd, definitely still not the 1st
@@jonathankelly9538 Which means he is definitely going to lose the first. So now he's gonna have to win the last two after only having 1 round to make reads on a tricky fighter like Sean is. Of course there is always the possibility of a knockout or a good leg kick, but I think Sean is just to skilled on the feet to not survive Yans pressure.
@@mangotangotf9938 as while i somewhat agree, i don’t think sean is “too” skilled to stay away. i think yan gets to let off good boxing counters bcs sean punches with his hands down and relies on his head movement a lot which can act against him big. technique for technique, yan takes that, but i like sean in this one.
Petr downloads in the first. Sean steals that rd and we got ourselves a fight. Can’t wait
I really don't hope hes talking about the jose aldo vs conor moment lol
sean doesn’t have a chance
Lets Go Suga Show ! 👊 💪
Haa, he actually has hairstylists...i thought he did a headstand in a bin!
Ha.. ha? 😐
This guy is not ready, if chito finished him imagine what yan is gonna do 😭
Stop cappin, hes undefeated 🍭
He got finished because he was clearly compromised. Stop ignoring what was taking place during the actual bout.
You mean where he retires online after a fight? 😂
Sandhagan and omalley is the fight we want
As a pro coach for 20 yrs, I think the missmatch is real, no matter the mental state, will power etc.
The difference level and experience between the 2 fighters is too big, smoking weed daily (no disipline), as well
The only way he can win is that Petr makes big mistakes, but I cant see it really.
Petr yan all the way
Only Aldo moment he’s gonna have is getting ko fast
The delay on interviews always makes me cringe 😭
If o malley can survive and pick apart petr from range he could win . Petr just needs to not be stupid and needs to play it safe . Take down when nessecsry
Petr Yan is just gonna outstrike him, especially with leg and body kicks. Dont think there will be much grappling involved
@@ImagoofybaII I agree but you never know . Petr has grappling in his back pocket though just in case Sean starts to peace him up . Petr has amazing clinch control and takedowns so even if Sean started landing a lot petr could fall back into this
@@HENRY-ub8df Yeah if it comes to it, Yan's clinch and trips will be troublesome for Sean. I just mean that Yan is probably not gonna be shooting takedowns.
@@ImagoofybaII to be fair this will prosbbly be the most ballsy version of petr we seen . He’s not gonna be as afraid to take risks against Sean I believe . I don’t think he’ll play it safe by out pointing him etc
@@HENRY-ub8df Yeah, Petr on the come up fighting 3 round fights was an animal.
I’m so excited for this fight. This entire card is insaneeeeee. I just wish the opening of the main card which is the womens fight was on the prelims and beneil vs gamrot was the opener. But I do get it. The ufc likes to put the last prelim card as a banger before the ppv since it’s usually aired on espn and more people watch that but won’t buy the ppv or a way to lure people into buying the ppv if it’s a great fight
I don't mind having a woman fight start the main card off. Gives me more time for my heart to get ready for the next 4 fights 😂
How can you not love a free spirit like Sean! What a guy man, this dude is one the nicest guys you’ll meet. He’s a banger, a burner, daily! Not a here and there smoker, but a strait up stoner! With a killer work ethic and attitude that we all can learn something from. He proves, as do a lot of athletes that Cannabis is not a schedule drug, none the less 1!! Re-FKIN-Diculous.Let get it baby! Sean by KO round 2
He won't be on Conor's level. He just doesn't have the personality to captive people regardless of his fighting. Sure he can become big. But Conor is just a different level. What he did in the octagon was spectacular, but he was also a very captivating person outside of the octagon. All ages and races found something intriguing about him. Sean doesn't have that aura. His target demo is like the Nelk demo with how he is outside of fighting. All ages won't gravitate towards it.
The delay on these interviews is mad awkward
