[@relaxedronin5349]

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Congrats !

[@dstybtms]

Sean wanted to retire a champion. Well deserved, Congrats man.

[@paulgodenitz]

This fight is seemingly proved that O’Connell was better than we thought and that Vinny was more one dimensional than we thought.

[@krazyhorse799]

Everyone knew Vinny was one dimensional and had no chin and heart. The surprising part was Sean's resilience

[@Herc11355]

I guess you've never seen Vinny fight before.

[@ionutzstoica]

he should have ended it with a submission in the first round, but he seemed to be too relaxed and sure of himself for the next rounds

[@SomoshiphopRadio]

@@ionutzstoica Exactly! His mistake.

[@rainersany9243]

@John Buick ya

[@uncleflansy5621]

7 years ago I remember Sean on my radio doing sports talk. Today I hear he won a million dollars as an MMA fighter. Im sorry, what? Good for him though, dude was awesome on the radio.

[@carlosquispe690]

@overgrow00Epic war!!!

[@patmash]

Sean will be a legend for decades to come!!!! Great fight.

[@drumcircler]

Ability to survive submission attempts in the first round was the key to victory.

[@jodylowe8476]

Yep and Vinnie blew his wad then also.

[@kentaro78]

Happy retirement champ!!!!

[@osos3867]

Sean O'Connell new light heavy weight champ. Damn🔥🔥🔥

[@TheSean7564]

Fantastic! Fantastic fight from beginning to end! Sean O'Connell is a fighter!

[@WWEMMA32]

Was happy as hell for Sean. Loved him in the UFC. Glad he got to end on a high note.

[@britishcig5462]

I love PFL but that "no elbows anywhere any time" rules will forever be pointless and makes the fights less interesting

[@rainersany9243]

Elbow with massive strenght super knockout.. Will cause death

[@ChewbaccaOnDrugs1130]

@@rainersany9243 So will a punch, kick or a knee, if it's well placed, with good technique and crazy power. Especially knees like you can knee your opponent in the face and smash their their nose in, but you can't elbow somebody lol Doesn't really make sense with the context of the strikes that are allowed

[@yeezusprice5526]

Elbows cause bleeding and deep cuts, deep cuts cause doctor stoppages, doctor stoppages are never the right way to end a fight. No elbows leads to less needless damage and keeps the fight going instead of having an anti climatic finish by a doctors stoppage due to sharp elbows even if the person who took the elbows have fight in them still 🤷🏻‍♂️ I like seeing elbows as much as the next guy but let’s be honest elbows are meant to cause gashes and slices more then they’re used to directly knock opponents out and they’re used in ground and pound and short quarter situations like when holding opponents on the cage or in the clinch which slows action down due to more grappling and opportunities for people to dominate fights from the top position for long periods of time and that’s not entertaining for a crowd that mostly wants to see boxing and kicks it is what it is lol I love seeing a grappling fest with two good grapplers but the fact of the matter is most “casuals” don’t wanna see grappling they wanna see people exchanging hands and have an epic fight

[@jamesandjelly8874]

It's because of the one night tournament format they have. Elbows tend to cut more so cuts on the face are far more detrimental if you have another fight that evening. Still kinda stupid though

[@johndeignan2668]

One of the best retirements in MMA

[@okayestrecruiter]

Big ups to the Real O'C!!! Brought real tears to my eyes!!!

[@milesjonelybonely9281]

Props to Vinny for taking that many shots From O’Connell

[@JediKnife]

Sean O’Connell! This guy… ☘️☘️💪🏻☘️☘️

[@sethbishop6890]

This is why pro boxers and ufc fighters are amazing. They have incredible endurance and cardio.

[@thomasmacdonough288]

I saw some edit of O'Connell being goofy at weigh ins and I thought 'yea this guy is cool, hope he was successful' and I was NOT expecting to see he was a champion. Good things really do happen to good people in this sport

[@mobanjolsu7802]

The MOST SATISFYING WIN EVER 💯🔥❤️

[@The_R-n-I_Guy]

I wish more strikers would back up and make the other guy stand up instead of going into their territory and usually paying for it. The way he kept backing up and making the ref stand him up was perfect

[@ImpatientTurtle]

I love how happy Bas was for him, good dude.

[@donnikubbitz2146]

A Brazilian quits. Never thought I'd see the day. Beautiful!

[@VladimirStepanovich60]

Молодец победитель, правильно вёл бой с борцом

[@koneking2569]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy, glad he won.

[@carlitosgarciasuarez8561]

Desde que vi esta pelea me fascino el estilo de este buen peleador sean o"conell

[@mattpearce5294]

Classic fight. Thanks Sean. Good luck.

[@mattbuddy6803]

This fight gets hard to watch, but still a classic just because Sean deserved the w.

[@lightgrace6299]

Thanks.

[@five9guy69]

they can both honestly say they left it all in the ring. that was a war. wow

[@rainersany9243]

A sharp head punch win,

*WTG BROTHER... Set for life lol nice call on the comeback lmao !!!* What an Awesome guy... hope your catching a lot of fish... and maybe read these comments ;) !!!

[@toddbertram6556]

Great fight

[@davidwood1923]

What a Fight... What a Story!

[@1613alb]

Hell ya O'Connells the MAN😉

[@letloverule100]

All the best OC, you deserve it

[@jerrysamuels8716]

Talk about "fight to lose". Magalhaes fought a nearly perfect fight to lose. Don't they teach these guys how to take an opponent to the mat? I think he might of missed that lesson?

[@carlosquiroz7819]

Renato Larange submitted Vinny triangle choke using only his left leg.

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

CARAYO !

[@butchbinion1560]

Good fight. ✌️👊

[@allteeth]

Everyone take note. When Vinny gets hit with the left, he drops for a single leg to his right. Every single time.

[@Alkazone5]

Great Match !!

[@ericflores5216]

Best fight I've seen🔥🔥🔥

[@jimmythegent9190]

this was beautiful

[@antikhore6160]

Strength and honor for Sean O'Connell, true warrior!

[@SuperWalkingzombie]

Dude build like a tank, not the fastest, not so versatile, not so agile, but got durability and heavy punch

[@InDisskyS131]

When the boys come to pick up Sean's daughter for a date this will be required viewing before they leave the house.

[@jeanettesimpkins7660]

Beastmode! Great fight

[@stuartiedrummond6899]

I came across this guys weigh ins, I was rough as fuck today after a heavy night and it’s not the first morning I’ve seen Sean’s weigh ins so today o decide to check him out. Fair fucking play to you btw mate after the ufc and then coming out of retirement to win the PFL and the MULLLAAAAA! You wanted it more mate 100% he quit!!! You couldn’t stand straight and still kept punching him in his awfully sore face and made him quit enjoy your millions and big love from Scotland you warrior 🏌🏼‍♂️

[@denisluiz816]

Lutador q parou no tempo esse viny Magalhães.. mora nos EUA a décadas e não evoluiu no werstling, bjj e a trocação contínua a mesma.

[@shirleyhendren1990]

Obviously the announcers assumed that Vinny would win in a quick bout, and they couldn't have been more wrong. What surprised me the most was that Vinny couldn't make it 5 rounds. It was intense and fun to watch.

[@Willjlacy]

Fuck yeah. Legend of a bloke and a fun fighter, he got bullshitted by the UFC. Leaving the right way too, hope he stays retired and spends wisely.

[@cgmurray2912]

First time I seen this boy fight f&£)ing awesome

[@shantaliadiron999]

Magalhàes stamina is not enough hard training is the key to win men

[@AlexVonCrank]

What a war!

[@ballsackramen7842]

God bless these warriors

[@nicolasn.kaminsky5232]

One of the best! Yes!

[@jeremiahlopez6708]

Magalhaes is juiced to the gills and still took the L

[@darshanShettyYT]

Real OC is the real deal

[@GlossaME]

Beautiful

[@MrBluemanworld]

So much for high-level Jiujitsu, Vinny got his ass mauled. A brawler can hurt you.

[@aplus1080]

MrBluemanworld to be fair, I think if Vinny didn't get his bell rung, his bjj would've been a lot crisper. He's beaten the best dudes in bjj over the years. 😬

[@CaseyKCRichards]

If Sean had BJJ he would have finished Vinny long ago .

[@mikedunn9310]

Incredible fight. Two tough mother fuckers. The PFL is underrated. Great organization.

[@CaseyKCRichards]

The fighting Irish .. never give up .

[@didisouza8138]

Magalhães é um lutador previsível só base no juijtsu

[@osos3867]

31:02 probably talking about the UFC lol

[@ayoubzabar4326]

Cardio : leaving conversation

[@charleselkofairi6656]

5 Rounds !?!?!? 🤔 Deadly. Ridiculously unfit both fighters

[@SOak145]

Anyone know the name of the ring girls in the background, as Sean gives his victory speech?

[@chrisc3641]

1 million bucks and vinny quits. He should of let someone with heart fight for the championship

[@liamstanley6719]

hes a steriod juicing fk. look at his body when he was on TUF and look at it now... its so obvious and PFL does not drug test. Most steroids take away your gas tank in order for more power, and that was very clear in this fight.

[@BGGIEMAN]

Chris C he knew he was going to lose, no point it taking more damage, he was completely gassed and severely hurt, his only shot at winning was getting him to the ground, but he was too tired to even have a shot

[@Luke-id1cp]

Now thats a real fucking fight

[@Godckr1]

God bless 🤙🏽

[@cl5651]

O'connell é duríssimo, casca grossa

[@robwilsn3219]

Not saying anything bad about the man, but he has no stand up game. His ground game is excellent. But ya gotta have both. And, being that big you have to come out and pace yourself. They both wasted their energy too fast in the very first round. Kudos to the winner.

[@erickreyes8774]

Vinny was going for takedowns for his life!!!

[@ryg4895]

So happy for him to win. That other guy was hard to watch. Tried getting to the ground like every 30 seconds. That's not fighting. That's fucking boring to watch. No wonder the crowd booed him. Good job Sean. Well deserved

[@Deftonedd4]

he did it guys

[@user-hv2qh8jr9h]

Супер бой

[@SOak145]

33:11 anyone know the name of the ring girls?

[@putusukartika2297]

pria besar berhati baik,O'c

[@Deathmetalfiend]

sean o connell is the champ ! Nice dude but bad dude inside the Octagon !!!

[@matthewwatts7456]

What a fight Congrats ,and juce by shawn o connel

[@robinradema1]

Vinny still trying to show leg locks don't work. Lol.

[@carloshavier5901]

7:44 the funniest mma moment

[@opena77]

Not head movement by Vinny. No cardio. No quick lateral footwork. No effective jab work. This was a street brawl.

[@mattbuddy6803]

This fight gets hard to watch......

[@KhromTX]

Barely round 2 and these guys look like their needles blew past E.

[@eddieawesome8520]

khrom that’s what happens when you eat big shots bro, nothing to do with cardio :(

[@IStabz]

FUCK YEA O'Connell!!

3rd round was crazy

[@silviosilva3459]

Da chance para outra pessoa

[@ariefsetiawan3068]

Too bad Ataev couldn't give vinny that big punch, if ataev vs sean in final it will be more exciting

[@victorvictorfitness7537]

We definitely learned that vinny got asthma

[@lufc76]

WTF has happened to Dana White....? 29:57

[@badrrharri]

This is PFL, not UFC.

[@ricardocossio1055]

Tenía todo de perder ...pero la buena actitud de Sean pagó su honestidad de ser humano 👍🍀👍

Why no elbows?
