God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

what an incredible time capsule. ty for finding a way to get it hosted and posted.

after rewatching the hammer absolutely knee that grounded man's head in, i recant any previous declarations saying "we should allow knees to a grounded opponent's head".

Mark Coleman once saw this happening and yelled "USE IT!":



I'm unsure if that makes me love him less or more.

On the 'knees to the head should be allowed' thing, it's weird how often it used to get cited as something that would end the dominance of wrestlers in MMA.

Lmao, Royce died on his way back to his home barra.

The technique is so much better these days but really the rhythm and chaos of an MMA fight hasn't changed much in decades.

You should look at this page
http://mmadecisions.com/decision/14597/Christian-Rodriguez-vs-Isaac-Dulgarian
and then decide whether or not to watch that fight
If you're pulling it up on fightpass you should watch Battle vs Loosa, I'm not actually sure how much ESPN+ showed of the funny part.

Other than that, watch every fight with a Brazilian fighter, all on the prelims.

I was firmly in this camp before he dismantled Vera but he's got the ability to follow a game plan and do as he's told from some world class coaches and that alone can take someone pretty far.

I have a lot of respect for how his team prepares him and despite the UFC trying very hard to make him a thing, despite him being a bit of a clown, I'm firmly a convert to the Sean o'malley is world class camp.

I'm completely unconvinced until he fights somebody real and beats them. Chito on his way out isn't that.

Yeah I don't know what the gently caress Chito was doing in that fight but it really wasn't working, except for when he decided to fight normally but he only did so for like 20 seconds at a time.

Merab will save us.

I'm Sean O'Malley hater number one now that DRJ doesn't post here, but he's absolutely a world-class fighter. Do I think he beat Petr Yan? No. Did he give Petr Yan a tougher fight than everyone but Aljo and Merab? Indisputably. Do I think he deserved the fight with Aljo? Not remotely. Did he knock Aljo the gently caress out? Easily.

His matchmaking and marketing are poo poo and booking the Chito rematch was really stupid, but he's absolutely world-class in the division. I will also never pick him to win a fight because he sucks rear end. Both can be true.

It’s this. It’s been obvious he’s very good for a while now if you can get past the clown, but he still isn’t fully tested.

I obtained this title through beard tax.

if you ignore the marketing, the hair, the mannerisms and the words, sean o malley is a very fun fighter to watch who does cool stuff so i enjoy him fighting and always have, it's easier to look fun when you get fights that suit you but that's ok, fight sports have always been thus

He has come home, where he belongs. The Ancient Mariner returns to lead his first team to glory, forever and ever. Amen!


Sean is becoming another JBJ in that he is a pretty good fighter who wins a lot but is extremely unlikeable. I do hope he avoids the path Jones took and doesn't hit a pregnant woman or beat up a cop car with his head...

To be honest, if this recent event didn’t happen, I’d have been surprised to hear people liked him.

Also Sean is a really great fighter. He’s also pretty self aware, he just has a more common younger personality. A couple years ago when I was 32-33 I went out with a girl who was just 22. She may as well have been from another planet. Couldn’t jive. Anyways, that seems to be the source of most Sean dislike.

He needs to fight Merab, otherwise he's just a man with a clown wig. At least seeing zuck grinning and clapping like a seal while Merab obliterated that dude a few weeks ago makes it more likely Dana will book his special toy against him so Dana can impress his billionaire friend.
