Tentative and afraid to let his hands go. Even when he landed a decent shot...he could have followed up with combo shots but opted to hold back. This was a terrible analysis.

[@mas72450]

I don't think anyone thinks Merab's path to victory is as a BJJ threat. If he wins, it'll most likely be by breaking O'Malley with his pressure and his cardio. He scored 11 takedowns on 49 attempts against Yan. If anything making Yan defend or get up 38 times did more to wear him out where Merab could win on the feet than anything Merab did on the ground

[@gersonencarnacion3744]

While I believe that Seans grappling is underestimated a lot , I cant just assume that just because he is good in pure grappling competitions that he will be just as good in the cage. If you habe train in both BJJ and MMA you would understand how much of a difference gnp does when you get taken down. I still Sean got this but it will be due to Merabs lack of takedown success.

[@steffanofumo]

The thing is, at that weight class Sean is one of the only guys that can hurt dudes badly with a single straight shot, and he’s also usually tall, he’s a miss match of characteristics unusual for a flyweight that makes it a hard puzzle to figure out.

[@austinpigza]

The Yan fight was extremely important in Sean's development for this fight. Cardio and heart in round 4 and 5 are going to be the difference.

[@Bipolar.Baddie]

O'Malley's biggest obstacle is that Merab's pressure and cage-cutting is so good that he'll struggle to set up combos. Prime El Cucuy was able to control the pace of his fights with constant pressure. Sean's definitely able to do set ups while backing up, but none of he's fought is as good at cornering someone against the fence as Merab.

[@jamesbailey8362]

Weasle i have a question im inclined to think that a well placed well timed knee on entry to counter a takedown is the best counter something my top one of my top 5 fighters ever jose aldo use to do example vs chad Mendes my question is why do we not see this anymore from these great strikers in the modern era? Definitely wondering why izzy didn't use this more often

[@motsy15]

All I know is if they all enter a room only Jon comes out. In other news, O’Malley catches Merab long before he gasses out. And if Merab stands longer than it takes to shoot, he’s getting knocked out. Also wouldn’t be surprised if O’Malley wins by submission on a bad take down attempt.

[@justinAclark2075]

I honestly don't think it's going to be close like so many people say. I think Merab's only chance is to hold off on his takedown attempts until halfway through the match. The more attempts, the less likely Sean will get caught off guard.

[@lilgabriel0517]

[@mattkaiser8984]

If Merab starts getting hurt, his shots are going to be more and more telegraphed. I think this might be a beatdown that ends in a late round TKO. Merab might be able to get down Sean a few times but I don't think he will be able to control him and definitely not finish him.

Merab is going for the legs mostly when he goes for the takedown or for grapple, he doesn't focus on holding the hips if u notice,and O'Malley is tall so it will be very easy for Merab to get the legs of O'Malley and neutralize Sean but every action provokes a reaction so we will see...This a full wrestler vs striker fight

This could be DDP vs Izzy all over again
