I would quite like to see both O'Malley and Sterling gently caress off back to their home planets and have somebody like merab or Umar be the champion.

Sterling is a lay and pray artist who took a round and a half to finish a dude who started a fight with only one functional arm. O'Malley is the result of if rumble and gab had a child and used kick as a nanny.

I have no problems with O'Malley personally, he's a very entertaining fighter. But I am a little slut for watching Dana hilariously, embarrassingly not get his way more than the alternative so I'll be rooting for a very quick uneventful finish.

Aljo has finished 7 fights in the UFC alone, including a vicious knee in the first Yan fight

I love how Omalley thought he was going to be the next Conor and make 50 mil over a few year period, started getting goofy face tats and resigning his life to fame and fortune, ended up hitting his ceiling and is about to get whooped and sent to the back of the pack again. I don't think he is a particularly good fighter or person. I'll still watch the fight but its getting to the point where I barely even know when events are anymore and couldn't tell you most or any of the main card, whereas a few years ago I'd know every event as soon as it was announced and I'd be talking to everyone at work about it etc. I'm going into maintenance mode at this point.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
The biggest thing about the Conor clones is forgetting Conor was a really incredible fighter before he fell into drug addiction. Like top tier who made other champions look foolish in the striking gaps. He could afford to be cock Mystic Mac because he could always back it up.

O'Malley couldn't even back up Kalib Starnes if he had a pitchfork and a gun.

I don't think Weidman trains at Longo's anymore. I think he moved to a different state.

e: checked, he moved to South Carolina. Probably too far of a commute to train with Longo.

Serra did retire and only corners specific people now. I heard at one point that it was on track to be renamed Longo-Weidman-Something.

Remember that one from years ago where an undefeated guy got tired of beating his opponent bloody without the ref stopping it and tapped the mat and submitted and, I think, retired from MMA? This is the reverse of that.

Hunh, I knew e: Wonderboy's brother married his sister, but I didn't know it affected his camp affilition like that.

Wonderboy is pretty active on "training martial arts" Youtube, and their gym is a lot of people who have solid facsimiles of his sport karate style. Obviously, since his dad is the head coach.
I'm curious how much that would have changed/affected Weidman's striking.
