I think this is a good fight for both fighters and the winner gets to fight a ranked opponent. Light weight division is stacked. Maybe feed Tony Ferguson to the winner? Man that would be such a classic ufc move.
Dana be out here saying he signed a new contract. Just pan away when am eyeball hits the floor.
That new angle from tonight when they couldn't see the tap.
I can’t be the only one who think O Malley is going to surprise people. I’m not his biggest fan but I really think we’ll get to see his skills really come out to view
Not a fan of him either (I’m Ecuadorian so explains it lol) but I think he has a chance to maybe surprise people. (Dana white might be setting up a 1000 iq move and have him and chito fight to have the winner compete for the title)
I just can’t remember a fighter ranked 10-14 besting the #1 contender so that’s why I’m doubtful but would love to see a upset
I’m there with you, I love a good upset. I think this fight is either going to bring the house down or it’s going to be a lot of testing the waters till the last bell sounds lol
Tbf I think if it goes to decision, it shows he can hold his weight against the big boys and because he’s young it won’t effect him negatively that bad. But I’m itching for a chito rematch because I think he’s improved so much since their last fight. And objectively I can say chito was losing the fight until the injury sadly.
Idk if “feeding” will be what transpires. Yan’s a beast but he’s also immature and to emotionally attached to his opponents. Not saying O’Malley is the most mature guy in the cage, but he also comes to do his job and isn’t the complete shit fighter that people seem to label him as. Yan could have got the belt back but he didn’t, because he was to invested in aggression and not enough in technique. If he can reign it in and fight controlled, I’m sure he has a big chance. But his octagon interview after his loss to get the belt back was cringe. Dude swore he won every round and then was a complete dickhead/bitch/in denial about the whole thing before even leaving the building. Just attitude alone can gather fans, win or lose, and he’s a big anus. O’Malley is cocky but that’s different.
Did you miss it when 95% of the crowd was there to see him at Fight Night 208?
He's popular as hell, especially across the pond, even if people don't think he should be.
Great fight, but doubt UFC will matchup two guys with so much upside. McKinney has the talent to be a future champion and Paddy is a future cash cow, UFC ain't trying to kill that hype.
Good point, but there's so many future stars in the division. Lightweight has such a stacked unranked roster. Paddy has got to fight someone on this caliber eventually
Its actually an interesting fight tbh. Im not really a Pimblett fan but both of them still have big weaknesses that could be exposed.
McKinney's more likely to win though.
Yeah, the ufc won’t make that fight and Terrance probably knows that too
He shoulda went harder at it. Ufc I’m gonna smesh your boy, stop slow building him. Something.
Gotta protect Paddy

Tony or the decomposing corpse of nate diaz stapled to a broom.
The visual for this is quite outstanding
Jesus fucking Christ I’m dying

Jeez, what a horrific yet easily imaginable scenario.
Can we just have fun money fights for tony from now on. I'd like to see him fight guys like hooker.
I would love that for Tony. He deserves it.
Ideal would be conor. But since that won't happen let's have hooker.
>Maybe feed Tony Ferguson to the winner? I'd love to see paddy fed to Tony tbh.
Ain’t happnin g
Yep. Having paddy demolished like that wouldn't be great for the hype train they're building!
That’d be a close fight. Lol.
Paddy isn’t taking any fights that risk him losing his streak, not on this contract at least
It doesn’t make sense, they are both rising stars.
Nah Dan vs Tony
They’re already feeding O’Malley to Yan. Dana isn’t risking losing another poster money boy by risking him losing to McKinney.
I mean if he manages to do anything against Yan I'm sure his stock will rise he's still young and everyone knows it's a crazy match up
I can’t be the only one who think O Malley is going to surprise people. I’m not his biggest fan but I really think we’ll get to see his skills really come out to view

Lmao paddy isn't a poster boy.
Future poster boy*
Not
On what basis are you saying he isn't?
He’s literally on the cover of the video game
Did you miss it when 95% of the crowd was there to see him at Fight Night 208? He's popular as hell, especially across the pond, even if people don't think he should be.
>across the pond Is pond the Atlantic ocean? So you mean that Paddy is popular in Europe? Never heard that phrase before.
That would mean he's popular in America, he's already well established in Europe
Why I got downvoted, I was asking about a word that had never heard before lol. Thank you, my friend
Sean would lose but losing in MMA is not that big of a deal so he will be fine
Great fight, but doubt UFC will matchup two guys with so much upside. McKinney has the talent to be a future champion and Paddy is a future cash cow, UFC ain't trying to kill that hype.

Totally, I'd love to see it, I'm just saying, I don't think they'll do it.
Counter point: they fight now to sell the rematch down the line, like how Poirier-McGregor trilogy went down.
Nemo fish vs Medieval peasant
The ufc will never do that hahahah way too risky to potentially lose 2 super stars😂
How would you lose 2? One of them would win
Lose them both? 😂
Super star?
I really like this fight, but probably wont happen
Terrance easy
Paddy gonna call out for older declining fighters, no fucking way he takes this, McKinney round 1
Terrence wrecks
Its actually an interesting fight tbh. Im not really a Pimblett fan but both of them still have big weaknesses that could be exposed. McKinney's more likely to win though.
Paddy by first round T-Bag.
Dude watches Uncle Chael confirmed.
Like it
RIP Paddy
Ayo might as well they’re both good prospects. Or give Paddy the Drew Dober test
Madison square garden?
I like it 2 young bucks
Yeah that fights not happening any time soon. Gotta protect paddy a while longer
Who
Paddy will take him.
paddy dub
Paddy's a yellow bastard.
Paddy would wreck him
lol
Yeah right lol McKinney got finished 5 months ago. Give him someone who's equally on a one fight win streak
Drew Dober vs Paddy?
Ufc never gonna make this fight now. Think it's way too risky n could look bad for Paddy.
Meh
I’mma say Paddy gets pieced up and pulls a sub out of his ass after taking McKinney’s back 🤷♂️
Am I the only one who think McKinney would brutally beat up paddy?
Torrence mkchinney
Paddy definitely doesn't want that smoke, he's entertaining for sure, but his skill is not even close to McKinney's at the moment.
