Dana loves the press when fighters behave like retards, as it sells the fights for him. If he could get away with WWE style rigging of fights he would do it in a heartbeat.
I had already known about Zucker's interest into MMA before he had rented out the UFC Apex but, I didn't expect him to actually put Meta directly into the MMA business. I really hope he doesn't buy stock into the UFC's parent company. We already have to deal with the dipshit Disney executive's stupid rules.
As a filthy Euro, I am quite pleased at not having to fetch my illegal stream at a stupid hour for a PPV for once.
I think Sean is seriously underrated in this match-up with Yan. Sean still has a lot to prove but his striking is solid and he does have a sizeable reach advantage over Yan. Sean has shown that he has good effective striking against Chito before the peroneal nerve kick.
Pretty sure if Yan can figure out Sandhagen, he can figure out this clown who looks lost when 5'6 Munhoz switches stance with him and calf kicks him. The dude did so little before the eye poke that he was running around afterwards counting checks (most of which didn't actually check the kick) as offence because he put nothing else out. Like it took 1 round for his creepy coach to politely go "hey dumbass, he's tiny, when he kicks your leg, step in and punch him".
Yeah he could knock Yan out. It just seems very unlikely given what we saw in his recent fights. This fight reads like the UFC telling Sean it's time to sink or swim and then throwing him into the deepest part of the pool.
Problem with O'Malley is he spent the vast majority of his UFC run crushing cans, old/shot fighters, and given stylistic layups. I don't rank his skills highly, but I do think he's an serviceable athlete.
