Rob should be a commentator dude, very well spoken and fight smart.
He will eventually
@@toysrus2413 Felder is great, I agree on Cruz tho
the thing with Dominick is that, I donno what it is but he's usually in a pissy mood, like he's visibly in a bad mood, and 50% of commentating is just being in a good mood so you're lowkey keeping the vibes high, that's why they put DC on every big PPV, because he's just happy and it doesn't matter he talks so much out of his a$# and doesn't do any research
@@Ar1AnX1xvery accurate ! Totally agree. I like Felder but Cruz can go
I'd switch out Bisbing for Rob anyday
O'Malley talking about the Whittaker Costa fight was kinda wholesome
Costa won😂
@@nunyabuziness8421if winning was landing 1 wheel kick and then getting pieced up the whole time then sure
@@nunyabuziness8421delusional
@@nunyabuziness8421Costa won the loser prize.
@@nunyabuziness8421lucky you aint a judge
"Illia's very confident, he's scary, he's short, he's good" lmao
Passive aggressive compliments with a straight face are the best 😂😂😂
Unless your a casual you would know the only trash talk or insults sean can think of is calling them short. It's lame, old, played out. Are they supposed to feel offended by bieng told somthing they already know?
SEAN THE GREATEST TRASH TALKER SINCE ALI
Thats literally the only thing he says against other fighters lol. Which is funny coming from someone who's only 5'11
Thats a good height @@CrayonsYummyYummy
Does rob do this show regularly??? I would watch the hell out of him breaking down fighters/fights he’s great at it!
Yea but you'll need a VPN or something to access fox in Australia. Maybe they have a CZcams channel, I'm not positive
@@christophermhudson09hmm yes, there may be a YT channel, it's even possible we're on it right now
Check out his podcast Mmarcade.
Hey mate, Rob has his own channel. If you search on youtube for MMArcade you'll find him.
@@karlricardo4088MMAARCADE gang stand up!!!! Rob n Johnny tag team duo smesh anyone!
Love Rob's interviews
He should be a ufc commentator after he retires from fighting
Style wise Cory sandhagen would be a fun fight too watch
on paper Anthony Smith's as entertaining as any of them
If you take away his individual skills he is not that good@@Ar1AnX1x
I agree I think Corey Sandhagen poses a lot of threats that Sean O’Malley poses to other opponents and it would be a great fight stylistic wise to watch two offensive and defensive strikers and probably the most technical bantamweight fight ever
Ive been waiting for that one!
I think rob would win
i dont know why some people hate on Sean. ..yah he dresses funny, but the guy is well grounded and humble. ..mans got skills, deserves respect💯
the man lets his best friends play smush smush with his wife/the mother of his child......
great fighter? absolutely
confused soul? also absolutely
@@user-pv2rk6ot8g Hahaha couldnt agree more!
People don't know MMA at all, they just know what the MSM shows them. The narrative is that O'Malley is bad, so they go with it. I literally have close friends refering to Suga as "McGregor's little friend". That's 99.999999% of people watching the UFC nowadays, hell, even some of the fighters are like that.
People are painting chito to be the nicest human, when he's in reality super petty, salty, butthurt, and constantly crying over everything for no reason.
@user-pv2rk6ot8g why do you care about his relationship with his wife?
How is he humble?
Whitaker is a great man and he is really good at being a announcer and reporter. He keeps it real and gives credit where it's due and he's respectful and is never trolling. Would love to see him keep it going after his fighter career is over. Claim that throne back Rob! Rooting for ya! A true Champion
I love videos of fighters showing each other respect, always very wholesome
The highlights of Omally Chito 1 are all Sean tripping around the octagon 😭 Chito better hope he hits that nerve again
Even if he does suga will ko him still. O'Malley is going to have a superstar performance again
If you read the comments section, you'd think Chito does that all the time. It was all skill, just like punching someone and knocking them out apparently.
I just wonder why Chito doesn't "toe to nerve" every fighter he's every fought, since it was definitely not a fluke lol
Love to see the respect between two champions!
Rob is the man, love seeing him interviewing fighters. His experience and knowledge is crucial in making these interviews interesting.
even if you dislike omally , you gotta appreciate his clean crisp striking . its magical
Love the way both rob and sean respect each other❤
That Cruz knockout was so funny man 😂
It sure was bloody comical
Dead man walking
Crazy he was stopped in his tracks like that
I think O'Malley is going to surprise people when he fights merab. I had him at my gym 3 years ago and was blown away with his grappling. Obviously his striking is insane.
I bet he liked arm triangles
He has a perfect physique for BJJ
@bruceinglis4300 yea he threw up a bunch triangles and he even caught one of our purple belts in a buggy choke.
@@H-Town_83
That's awesome
I love stories like this
Sean's going to knock him out... No one will be surprised anymore btw hahha. Everyone knows how good Sean is dude. He is obviously on a whole other level now. I'm pretty certain he's hitting his prime now after that Chito fight
Rob needs to be on the commentary panel after he hangs the gloves. wow great questions, massive respectfulness and just entertaining. UFC can you please replace DC's cheeseburger gut with Rob, ty
Yup
Whitaker and Felder would be pretty good i think
I love it when fighters have mutual respect for each other. Salute. Two really good guys.
Love this gem of a channel, good stuff from Aussie
Great interview!
I'm glad not to hear Chandlers name. Finally for a minute, if Ferguson had it bad with gaethje, max has big issues, because boxing is nothing compared to a head on collision
Rob is a huge fan of omalley holy fuck, you can hear the fanboy in his voice😂 good stuff
Calling Rob a Fanboy is crazy😬🙄
He likes to ride anyone on the show to get praise back
Game respects game?..
The word fanboy gets thrown around far too much 😂 there's a difference between actual "fanboys" who spent their life on the nutsack of another man and Rob giving compliments to a fellow champion and young guy coming up, pause 😅
@@zye3629 Wyf are you on
1:42 - That was a BOMB!
0:58 - That was a SNIPE!
Rob is very good at breaking down fights and fighters feelings I need more of this
They need rob, bisping and felder on a PPV
Best O'Malley interview so far.
Rob sounds great on that mic !!! Awesome job Rob
Rob is so effortless! They need to put him on the broadcast!
These guys are way better than all the journalist questions at the press conference.
Rob is a fantastic analyst. I hope he does more after his fight career.
The fact that O malley INSTANTLY stopped chewing the gum and stood right up once he saw Rob clearly shows that he is much more respectful than he seems..
Subscribed just for more rob interviews
Rob doing a very good job here
Welcome to the suga show 💜
Welcome to the DENIAL show! Says he never lost sleep over the Chito fight! What a load of BS!
The lgbtq gang
@@John-bh8qsexactly what it is my man
RESPECT.
Sean: I never really lost
main event: so Sean, I know that terrible loss really bothers you deep down, did you cry after it happened?
I’d rather see Corey vs O’Malley next. If O’Malley gets passed Chito of course. And I want to see Rob get that rematch with DDP.
Robert Whittaker is so likable, well spoken, has so much knowledge of the fight game , would love to see him transition to broadcasting or commentary when he retires.
Everybody loves Robert.
Robs been my favourite fighter for a longg time 💪
Wow, that kick against Cruz…. Ouch. Chito looks like he’s face much harder comp than the flamingo.
Looked like Cruz stepped in cement
Better than you. Billy Goat
Except Yan and Aljo are better than anyone Chito has ever been in the cage with lmao
Casual take. Best guy Chito fought was Cory Sandhagen and he got 50-45d by him.
O’Malley beat Yan and Aljo 🤷♂️
Imagine thinking you know about fighting when you think someone is better than the current champion for knocking out dominick cruz😂😂😂. You were an avid fan of the sport a decade ago at best, I don't know what kind of lnvalid you have to be to think something like that.
i love whittaker he is a LEGEND i would be so happy to see him snag the title once more before hanging up his gloves, i hope he joins in on commentary one day as well.
love to hear Rob. Would make a fantastic commentator if he's ever interested
Love seeing Rob have this role with Fox sports. Having new career paths to go down after the fighting is so beneficial for these guys. Keeping them in the sport they love and contiuning to make a decent living.
Sean acting like he doesn't know why people are mad at moving up a division after just one defense lol
He knows MERAB will rag doll him!
@@matrix35he literally said after this fight he wants to fight Merab so keep hating lmao
People are literally advocating for Islam to get a WW title shot despite having 1 ranked win in his own division. At least Sean is defending his belt against someone in his division before calling for a title fight at a bigger weight class.
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn neither of them have earned a shot at a second belt and that's just facts.
@@omnipotentaus now that I can agree with. It’s just so silly how much I see MMA fans call for Islam to get a shot a double champ without having a singular title defense against a LW and having only 1 ranked win in his entire pathetic career, yet the same fans hate on O’Malley for wanting the same thing even though he has more ranked wins in his division and is actually defending his belt against someone his size. MMA fans are just hypocrites.
ty
You can't deny that Chito can get the job done no matter what and at anytime during the fight. He has the W over O'Malley but if I was Chito I don't think that W would satisfy me, anyone else think the same? I'd want a decisive win No questions asked.
It was a cheap win I think, Not anyone's fault.
If Chito goes in this time and does exactly the same thing to Sean's leg then I'll come back and here and take this back...😂 watch him do it now.
That all being said Sugar gets the W & Still TKO in the 3rd
Didn't get the KO but he literally dog walked chito. Domination in spectacular fashion. Let's go Suga.
I know man, hear the sound of that Knee when sugar caught him? Surprised he was still standing after that, Suga gave a clinical performance 👊🏼
I saw people doubting Dustin aswell but I had a feeling he would get the W. He kept trying for that gilly though
@@mattdoliver1984 That knee was nasty, and I was literally screaming at the T.V saying stop going for the gilly and box his head off! So happy for Dustin. And JDM brought that dog out and got the finish on burns! Good day to be Aussie, needed it after seeing Volk fall from grace 😂
@ Yeah bro glad JDM got the win in the end I don't mind Gilbert though, I do cheer on the Aussies though but I'm From England bud, I was gutted when Volk lost, not to keen on ilia as he's a but cocky, can't deny his skill though
Chito is dangerous tough and throws everything with bad intentions. This has potential to go down as one of the wildest fights ever. Sean has speed and a natural ability for counter striking and timing. Looking forward to this one. Don't blink 😅
I keep telling y’all O’Malley is a mf problem to deal with for anybody
Right now especially and I think Rob broke it down perfect.
SEAN THE GREATEST TRASH TALKER SINCE ALI
“He’s confident, he’s scary, he’s dangerous, he’s short. Lmao Sean is too funny.
LFGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The thing with the “fluke” leg kick is how would that be much different from getting knocked out. One random punch just shuts the switch off kinda like one random kick shutting of the nerve
Pretty obvious. The difference is the size of the target (head and peronial nerve) and the probability of hitting that target with the intended outcome.
@@aienjell yes the size of the target is different but why is getting hit by a shot that unexpectedly puts you out so crazy. He’s kicking that area of the leg over and over and boom
One puts it out same with punching someone over and over and boom one gets them
After Sugas performance tonight, I think we can give him the benefit of the doubt that it was just straight bad luck the first fight.
@ Never thought chito was better. There’s been tons of times worst guys have beat better people that’s what the first fight was. This second one was a joke. The bantam weight division just stayed the same. We found out guy non of us thought deserved it not deserve it. Imagine that was a merab or sandhagen fight even a aljo rematch makes more sense.
I VOTE ROBERT REPLACE DC during UFC commentary. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💯🤙🏼
Cheeto is mid I don’t see him winning he literally has luck every fight
You're smoking mid FAM!
O'malley the real deal, dude is actually the man. That fight was on par with Max beating up kattar
Really the only person I can compare his pin point counter shots to is conor. Conor used to have those beautiful Step back counter straights too
fighters are getting smarter. Its better to say your opponent is really good that way when you win you are betting really good people.
O’Malley has grown on me
If Sean didn't try to jump back from that kick, that big toe would never hit his perennial nerve and that fight would gone completely different.
Yep! He relaxed all defenses in the makeup of the mid leg at the perfect time for that nerve to be susceptible. You can watch the slow replay going from tense to relaxed.
Fans are not interested in another champ vs champ when both guys havnt defended there belt, if they both ran through all their respective opponents first, sure.
Love me some Bobby Knuckles ❤
I genuinely believe that champs of a div should only be able to move up a weight class to fight the next div champ after cleaning the div,
Yes now you can see it in vera broken face
Not bad watching little people mix it up.
Nothing little about the diahorrea i just did in my pants
The goats goat is a tad askew
just realized Thomas Almeida hasn’t faught since Sean 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I think Sean will lose, but I hope he wins so we can have a 3th match.
I can’t get used to hearing a fellow Aussie say ‘we’re rooting for you.’ 😳 😬
It’s gonna suck if chito just has his number
Vera is a slow starter, and overall uninteresting, I like to act like this is a close fight, but I honestly see Vera having problems closing distance without getting popped. Sean should focus on hands. Sean often slips and falls when he spins, that's where Vera could take advantage
Excellent take good sir. What a performance by Suga.
the way rob gave sean his flowers was beautiful
Sean, 3rd round TKO. Lots of leg kicks and stinging shots after feints. I've always thought the first fight was just unlucky
Omalley gets so much hate for no reason. Dude has never had a fight that wasn't exciting and has shown up every time the lights were bright.
Stoic O’Malley
Hm, didn't seem in the fight like Chito was ready to die in there.. he was behind for most of the fight and still didn't go all out. I know that's alot to ask tho, haha
Chito fans (aka suga haters) are something else! They, conveniently and opportunistically, milk an outcome while disregarding its respective context in order to deceive themselves and reinforce the fantasies that constitute their minds. The truth of the matter is that Omalley dominated Chito right until Omalleys leg completely gave out and he fell backwards. Additionally, the injury was caused by an unsuccessful leg kick. Omalley dodged the kick backwards and Chito’s big toe hit thats nerve by accident. An absolute FLUKE. Finally, the fight was stopped EXTREMELY early!
😂😂😂 omg you Omalley fan girls are the worst, I was fkn 4 years ago get over it!!! And stop fkn crying and making excuses for him. Their is no world in which Sean was ever dominating that fight and if you really think that you are a true casual and just a crying a*z fan girl. The stoppage was partially due to the injury but mostly due to Sean getting fkn flashed ko'd my guy. He's always wanted to be a basketball player in the octagon, well his mf head was bouncing off the octagon just like a basketball 😂 I can't wait to hear y'all's excuses if he loses again.
His head was almost of his body stop crying
@@dawg3824 You literally proved my point. You lie to yourself in order to reinforce the fantasies that constitute your mind. Chito landed 2 good elbows. One of them made seans head to snap back for a millisecond. Sean was still consciously defending, moving side to side, wide awake, aware, etc. Extremely early stoppage. Not even 5 unanswered strikes were landed.
@@LateNightChessIt wasn’t a late stoppage. Sean literally couldn’t stand and took two massive elbows which clearly rocked him. It’s a loss, but definitely a fluke.
@@jorgeelchef1173 you can deny the truth all you want. It wont change the fact that from the multiple strikes chito threw only landed ona elbow flush that pushed omalleys head back for a millisecond, then after a few more failed strikes chito landed a nother elbow that was much weaker than the first one. Sean was still consciously defending and moving and chito didnt even landed 5 unanswered strikes. Omalley did took 2 elbows that werent even consecutive.
I think sean is too good for chito but cant write him off, sean vs merab could be very interesting, can he stop the berserkoid? Can anyone imo.
lol I love Cheeto. I respect every fighter in the UFC ( except Conor the casuals made me hate him) and I would never talk down about any of them but for those of you who think he’s going to beat Sean O’Malley can we please bet some money on this I love making easy money.
Short of Sean hurting himself again it’s not gonna happen
The casuals made you hate Conor?
Sean is such a nice and confident guy. Never understood the hate. People seem to dislike the fact that he expresses himself.
Omalley lost fair and square and he going to get his pink arse kicked again
Chito is a special fighter.
Sean’s clearly gonna be the longstanding 135 champ he’s so much bigger than the other bantams. He’s a 155er down at 35 so it’s gonna be an uphill battle for anybody who’s in there at 135.
Agreed!!!
He's skinner than everyone. All the other bantamweights walk around the same weight.
@@ryanbender5769 135 is skinny class. The frame of the fighter we’re talking of. Nevermind
If he’s 155 at 135 then Ilia is 170 at 145, Islam is 185 at 155, Leon is 205 at 170, etc. Everyone cuts weight.
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn even more weight than that is being cut but you have the right idea. Just know the weight cut is the fight for so many guys. So certain fighters careers feel more significant. Daniel Cormier always stands out for me. Very undersized 2 weight Champion in the modern era. That’s almost impossible.
Big o malley fan but I think Corey would rip him up
Did Whittaker lose a tooth?
Always been that way
Rob doesn't agree with Sean not owning up to his TKO loss to Vera
I think he would after tonight's performance.
If Sean punches himself out in the early rounds looking for a KO he’s going to be fucked in the 4th and 5th.
He has never punched himself out he will bang for 25 mins if needed
"Accuracy, pin point precision" things we did not see in any fight on this card. And we absolutely should have. Sugar sean, mvp, chito, song and more that i can't remember. All fought like shit. Worst card in practice after being best on paper.
U guys gota chill, rob ain getting a title shot after beating costa, rob needs to beat either strickland or chimaev
look, your ankle was fucked- very true but that doesn't mean you didn't lose. if that played out on the streets the same way no one is going to stop and say oh your ankle bro let's stop lol.
I dont get how its ok for sean claim he didnt lose. So if aoneone gets knocked out, they say oh i moved my head into the path of your hand , it wasnt your skill it was just a fluke....
he says that he doesn't take it as a loss, and his confidence is still as if he didn't lose. which is obviously a big deal for a striker
It's a joke
I bet that Equador flag ain't returning though.
nope. advertising merch with the hair this go
Dude I am sickened that the host asked about going up. That shit is ruining the sport. This isn’t even a real title defense, definitely doesn’t deserve that opportunity for champ champ yet.
In every fight, Chito has been getting beat, until the last second. A very mid fighter..
I taught Rob was gonna interview, I don't wanna here about someone fighting super small guy's!!Guy's little more than half his size!!
Sean should 100% make Umar and Merab fight before his next title defence
Umar ain’t even a top 15 fighter he’s never beat a ranked opponent and is at least 5 fights away from a title fight.
I feel like chito is stronger and more well rounded than sean. Sean could get a good shot on chitos chin and sleep him but that's really the only path to victory for him.
Exactly the opposite tbh. Suga is clearly the more well rounded fighter and Chito only has a punchers chance against him. Sean will melt him and Chito’s only path to victory will be landing one big shot.
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn We can agree to disagree. I think sean will quit as soon as Chito hurts him in any way.
@@WARDAWGIO I think Chito gets frozen by O’Malley and dominated to a 50-45 or 50-44 like what happened against Sandhagen.
@@JoshuaSmith-no9mn That's a strong possibility but thats the worst case situation for chito that hes probably thought about. Most folk would go out on their shield in chitos position before another sandhagen type loss.
Chito made Sean piss
cory beats both
Chito kicking the nerve is same as making a bank shot you shot at the rim😂
sandhagen destroyed vera have people forgotten that, sandhagen doesn't have the speed or precision o' malley have, this fight will not get passed the third round book it.
