Man…. Am I the only one who just doesn’t give a shite about O’Malley?

I can’t even really put my finger on it. Everything just seems so fake with him, I don’t know… it’s almost like the UFC is propping this dude allllll the way up when he really doesn’t deserve it (yet)


I guess I’m just not as enamored with him as everyone else is

I drive alot so I listen to some of his youtube stuff and he seems pretty cool. I like the dynamic with him and his coach both being young guys and in it together from the start. From the UFC perspective o'malley understands the social media game and has grown a pretty decent following. Dana seems to be a step ahead and is building up stars that resonate with the next generation of UFC fan like guys like diaz, poirier, gaethje, etc resonate with the older fans. Thats why you see Dana hanging with the next generation like Nelk, etc so much.

I like his chances against aljo if he can keep the fight standing. his striking is really good and he def has some power. he even showed a little dog in the yan fight. I thought yan won but never rewatched.
