PBP UFC 280 - Oliveira vs. Makhachev: Official Main Card PBP Discussion: 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

This leaves a sour taste in the mouth

 

[Question]

all the rounds he won...no clue how anyone can score round 1 for him....other than the moron DC.

That was the only I could've maybe given to O'Malley, but after that even tho they were back-and-forth Yan won rounds 2 and 3.
Idk what the fuck the judges were watching here lol

 

[Mr Dilkington]

I mean, O'Malley actually fought VERY well, and I think he stock was going up regardless of the scorecards, but there's just no reasonable way to score that fight in his favor. I'm not one to call foul but that's extremely suspect.

This. I was going to say great effort from him and his stock will only go up. Sucky decision, but it's final now and got to hope it doesn't drop Yan too far in the rankings.

Did... Tuivasa just drink beer with Volkanovski's spit?!

absolutely haram

 

[MMA4Life]

Let’s just stop the Abu Dhabi cards altogether, place is a cesspool of curruption.


Let’s have an event with an actual athletic commission

Do they just give hush money to Dana

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

Idk why people are crying robbery. Rd 1 coud have went either way. rd 2 Yan and rd 3 O'malley. Wish we could have gotten a rd 4.

 

[liljuey]

The third ? One big strike? Dude rocked him like 3 times the third was the only round I had clearly for omalley

Rocked him 3 times? What the fuck? Lol he rocked him with the knee and that was it. Sean got rocked and taken down the same round. Actually was taken down multiple times.

 

[Mind Mine]

pathetic ass losers like you leaving? bye

Butch who the fuck said I was leaving

 

[pātrēärkē]

Announcers are having a hard time selling it as fair

They were trying the whole fight

 

[Jason7227]

Feel bad for Yan because he arguably won his last 2 fights and he the judges havent given him either. Thought he clearly won that but O Malley had a great showing

Free Britney!

LOL

 

[Jackonfire]

Wdym?
Did i miss something?

O'Malley beating Yan seems to have upset some posters, lol

 

[Marianne]

Two people in this main card have defeated the #1 contender in their division and then refused to call out the champ. Dana must be happy

Round 1 O'Malley outstruck Yan and then Yan got a takedown at the end i thought Yan would win but with the scoring being damage over position I could see a judge not scoring the takedown.

He did not out strike him in round one...he might have thrown more but thats it, he back peddled and took the hard shots and was taken down...Yan won all 3 IMO...the cut looked bad but he won round 2 and 3 for sure based on any scoring criteria...this sport is so fucking corrupt its not even funny anymore.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

bruh you are legit delusional if you think Yan was owning him the entire fight. like i said, i had Yan winning but not because of the striking. O'Malley was making it way to close on the feet. Yan won because he was taking him down over and over. that was the edge for me. but if they just had a kickboxing match i think O'Malley might've stopped him.

 

[TheBigJuicyGuy]

Someone should have told Yan backstage they were going to give the fight to Sean if it *goes to decision.

 

[IATAvalanche]

I don't know how many fights left Yan has on his deal, but if he can get an offer anywhere near the UFC's, he's gotta get out.

That may have been the worst decision of all time.

I'm speechless.

bahahahahhaahhahaha pathetic

 

[Orochimaru 大蛇丸]

UFC knows they bring the cash and they'll do whatever you want. Build a whole setup with migrant slave labor too lol . Oh well still am awesome fight sad that the judges shit on the momentum. We all know the UFC wants O'Malley to be a zoomer appealing cash cow.

I never think the UFC does shit that bad, but this one makes me wonder

Happy O'Malley showed up, but that is just a disgusting decision

 

[Juan Bombadil]

What do we think Dana will say about that result?
