@@redghost1567merab’s rarely in instant classic fights. The only way Sean vs merab would be an instant classic is if Sean rocks him then merab comes back to ragdoll him

[@CiaranBrodigan-eg6xj]

Of course he's next, but it'll be a boring scrappy fight with merab, doesn't excite me at all, only thing is he gets dropped in every fight, but if O Malley puts him down will he stay down? I think Merab could rag doll O Malley to a boring decision. After what O Malley and Sandhagen did to Chito, absolute shut down for 5 rounds the both of them, would make a great scrap them two.

dude is way more skilled than conor. i dont get the hate. i really like sean. he's focused, hard working, realistic, level headed, positive attitude, open minded. his coach tim is awesome too.

[@pierer91]

Conor has a much harder resume.

[@billgalyean9140]

I agree totally. Sean definitely practices a lot of very good habits pre fight, He’s got all the right people in the right places for success for sure. Dietition, a special trainer for each level of fighting, wrestling, BJJ, boxing, recovery, cold plunges, supplements etc…… he does it at a higher level than most. Costly but he’s got the money for it and it’s obviously worth it. He keeps impressing for sure. And the level of motivation and discipline is definitely impressive because motivation without discipline is nothing. Surely he just relaxes, drinks and gets high a lot but when it’s time to get ready he clears the slate and makes it happen. That’s awesome.

[@treddah]

I feel like Conor is the opposite of most of those things

[@pinstripedynasty6117]

He is getting so much hate about his personality like Kamaru did at one time. If he can get a few more title defenses most of these same haters will jump on Sean's bandwagon and claim to be fans before he had a belt

[@Mdiddydoss]

You're jumping on something of his 😂

[@pinstripedynasty6117]

@Mdiddydoss What? I did not even say I am a fan. I made a factual statement that he is getting hate like some fighters do, but a few title defenses changes all that, and it's funny to watch the switch up if Sean can get the defenses like Kamaru did

[@buzzardscry1383]

Usman got hate for his fight style. Remember fence holds and foot stomps? He was boring for a loooong time.

He's a douche bag tho. Usman isn't.

Seriously, I like Suga more and more with each interview I see. He’s what we wanted from Conner before he got crazy and stopped focusing on his career. I mean no shame in it. Conner making a killing in his other careers but his fight game has diminished and he’s acting nuts. Shane has his shit together and is just likable. I hope he continues to be great and putting on amazing fights. Also, anyone who hates on Chito can kick rocks. The dudes amazing and one of my favorite fighters. Another top shelf human outside the octagon and sadly when he got his chance at a belt, it was vs a far better fighter but he’s a beast and maybe one day gets another chance vs someone else and wins it. But anyone talking shit can kiss a pigs ass.

[@FitzChivalry_Chade]

Love O’Malley in the octagon, but he has no shot at being McGregor. He has no mic skills, no killer instinct outside of the cage, Conor was so calculated with his words, spoke with confidence. O’Malley is not quick-witted enough. I respect O’Malley for saying “yeah I want to be like Conor” in response to people saying “you’re just trying to be like Conor.” Fighters who talk down on McGregor in terms of MMA, are insane. The man came in and single handedly took the UFC to a whole other level. A fighter who comes in and breaks boundaries and gets more money is a fantastic thing for other fighters. That glass ceiling needs to continuously be broken and McGregor was one of the few to do it, but nobody did it as big as him. Also, look what McGregor did outside the sport, he came in to the UFC and created a whole other revenue stream for fighters by having boxing bouts outside the UFC. Nobody was doing that until McGregor came in. High tide floats all boats; fighters may not like him, but damn do they have to respect what he did in the UFC. The UFC brass should consider themselves blessed too because he came along just as negotiations kicked off to sell the company, they don’t sell for 4.2 without McGregor bringing millions of casual fans to the sport. The man won both ‘45 and ‘55 pound belts in cage warriors. Told the world he’d come to the UFC and take both belts and bounce. He backed up all that sh*t talk that was deemed crazy and arrogant. Hate ‘em or love ‘em, the man did exactly what he said he was going to do, I say good on him.
