[@cccf2010]

Can we get Tim on more often please, I like the two way conversation between the two of you. Could talk about current trends in mma or talk about what’s in the media/ discuss fights

[@RCalicchio1st]

Good interview, Tim is smart he knows what he is doing for sure. The entire team of Sean and how they are doing business at this point in the fight game is really handled well on their part. Fights are fights but at the end of the day it’s about the numbers. Job well done by them for showing up and coming fighters how to get business done.

[@Bluepickles333]

Ya they are killing it man. They got it figured out. Have to admire the team and the consistency.

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

Not a big fan of Suga but I’m a huge fan of Tim Welch he’s probably the most underrated coach in the ufc and has a great mind for the sport Needs more credit for O’Malleys success

[@theguvnor3880]

I never expected Chito to be fast but I did expect him to make it a war. Unfortunately, he didn't have the fire and looked like he just wanted to survive the 5 rounds.

[@Dropnostop]

He had the fire. Sean put it out.

[@701delbronx8]

He struggled with Sean’s movement

[@TheGeorgeLara]

wouldnt call a one sided beatdown a war, but he probably has the second best chin in the ufc (first is max holloway)

[@joeruschkowski2076]

He had lots of fire. He lacks the skill

Man I really hope we see O’Malley Vs Sandhagen at some point… Merab definitely deserves a shot at the belt and that fight should be next I’ll be very disappointed with the UFC if Merab doesn’t get the chance to fight for the belt next, But I’m really hoping O’Malley Vs Sandhagen happens and I hope Suga has the belt when it happens because that fight will be an epic fight…

[@jat8051]

I’m glad he’s making that big money now. He made Suga the fighter he is now.

It will never happen the fight was not close , and chito was damn near beat to death your the one and only person who wants to watch that again

[@81ghale]

@@mrnoshow3340 I doubt that, but we’ll move on. I never said Chito made that fight close. He was better later in the fight, as usual. But I get it, Sean has the youngins and the hair and whatnot. Super cool. But I’d like to see them fight again if Chito gets a win against a guy in contention. I didn’t even say immediate rematch. I don’t think Sean needs protecting, he won the last one.
