I believe Herb Dean got his influence from ONE FC because Herb Dean did ref in one fc at a certain point. And in one FC, referee has this issue on constantly remind fighter to work hard. They also have a card system yellow card will deduct your purse for not pushing the pace or fight and red card if no pushing the pace will consider DQ. Their rules is quite different from the UFC

Forgive me for the yap, but I must speak. Sean O'Malley is the most shoved-down-the-throat champion since Brock Lesnar, except without the star power. He lost to Yan, but was gifted the decision, we said nothing, "it was a close fight, so it could have gone either way." Aljo had just had his defense against Cejudo, instead of letting him bask in his win, Dana had Fraud O'Malley walk into the cage to steal his shine. Aljo was then coaxed into a fast-tracked title defense against Fraud O'Malley. In just 3 months, Aljo was back to defend against Fraudkuna. Aljo still went on to dominate O'Malley until he got dropped, and early-stoppaged. Then Fraud O'Malley then got gifted a defense against Fraudo Vera, who has not even the first, second, third, fourth in line for the title. Merab Chadishvilli finally fraud-checked the fraud. And don't get me started on the way O'Malley hyped himself to be some Conor level star. It was so bad, Will Smith should have slapped Conor's name out his mouth. Fraud O'Malley may be the fraudiest champion in the history of fraudiest champions.

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

Aljo's head was bouncing off the mat, not an early stoppage. It was something like 13 unanswered strikes to the head.

O’Malley really thought he was a star

[@brandonfreeman6517]

LoL I found it funny as well. I dont get the draw to him whatsoever, but I'm in my 40s so there's that. He got gifted a win over Yan. He fought tomato cans up until that point. He beat Aljo, but IMO Aljo wasn't great either. He really thought he was gonna fight Ilia - beat him and become Conor McGregor, even though he's absolutely terrible on the mic. I didn't even bother illegally streaming cuz I knew Merab was gonna do exactly what he did. I will wanna see Umar and Merab though. I think Umar wins.

Chito had a great take on this fight vs Conor in the Chad Mendes fight. Sean needed to keep the pressure on Merab and go forward with his offense no matter what as being taken down by Merab is inevitable

[@quintong8370]

Merab somehow has developed a chin. Sean I’ve seen has given a right that landed on the chin which didn’t even drop Merab but punches from most of his other fights get him dropped. Another thing is Merab has an amazing grip on a leg but how he finds trips to finish takedown is insanely crazy.

Both had recent losses, yes but they earned their ranking spots. It's not avoiding Umar. I totally agree with Mehrab - He had to prove over and over again that he is the top contender besides dominating most of his fights. Umar is young and if he is the dominating contender he claims to be, he should be willing to fight anyone anytime.
