Please, Susan, start a thread on O'Malley.

Ion is out, BTW. This card is maybe the shallowest ever. LOL
Hi love, bye love, I will miss my love.

Pretty excited for DC Stipe. DC is such a great dude I’m surprised how many people don’t like him. Stipe is cool too but really want DC to go out on top.

DC has really won every round bar one in there first two fights. He’s also landed 72% of his strikes over the two fights which is insanely efficient. But Stipe can knock him out and will probably go to the body a lot earlier this time around.

I know DC he said he’s taking the fight to the ground but we’ll see. Cant wait .gif

He's clearly a star but seems content to be a niche star vs the mainstream star that Conor was. He's making the most of what he has, good on him.

This card is awful for me. Yes there’s a great main event, but I absolutely despite Sean O’Malley, and we’re not calling him Suga until he surpasses Rashad Evans all time, and that won’t ever happen.

There’s no value to bet on either, I threw some money on Chito at those odds because this dude is a dog and being seriously disrespected from the hype train. He should’ve derailed the Yadong hype train but judges robbed him

Just not as excited as I should be, tbh. But I’m pulling for DC. Love that guy.

I wouldn't be surprised if age has caught him.

I'll be happy to see DC win if he doesn't use any eye pokes to get there.

So When DC first beat Stipe he was the LHW and HW champion. Did he just relinquish the LHW title?

He was set to be stripped as soon as Gus/Jones stepped into the cage so he preemptively relinquished it.

I think DC lets ego get the best of him and doesn't wrestle for the entire 25 minutes and by the end of round 3 DC will start to tire and we see Stipe start to pick him apart standing up again. I think Stipe gets the TKO in the 4th or the 5th. Both guys are some of my favorite fighters, DC is my hometown guy, but just think Stipe gets the best of him again.

I also feel like Chito is pretty prime for an upset over Suga. Chito is a tough dude and doesn't get KO'd. I can see Chito just out toughing Suga.

He kind of said this himself already. Can’t remember if it was in the presser or another interview but said he wants to “ fight” Stipe and it’s not all gonna be wrestling.

He seems to believe his cardio is way better this time around so I guess we’ll see.



I kind of want O’Malley to lose. Not sure why there’s just something about him. I’m sure he’s alright but whatever.

Ya he said at the press conference on Thursday that he wants to out fight Stipe and not out wrestle him. I think Stipe has the better cardio out of the two and the longer the fight goes on, the better for Stipe. Plus Stipe may have weighed a little more this time around, the dude is looking really lean, the leanest Ive seen him in quite sometime.

Im not rooting against Suga, I find his fighting style very entertaining and he can be alright as a trash talker (gets a little over the top corny for me personally), I think a humbling could be a good thing for him. I just think Chito is a tough dude and wont break.

I've never seen a fighter attempt to do less in a fight that went the whole way.

Burns deserved that coming in 3.5 over.
