not calling you out in particular, but I often wonder why so many people want to see omalley lose. seems like a cool dude. I really like the dynamic with him and his coach tim. one of the few 135ers that can put people to sleep consistently.
That’s fair, and honestly I can’t quite put my finger on why I have such a dislike for him. He’s clearly very talented and great on his feet, his fights are exciting and I definitely tune in when he’s slated to fight, but there’s just something about him I can’t stand
The only thing I can really say for sure is that his short time in the UFC seems like one big push for a ‘star’ to get the belt. He fought nothing but tomato cans, and then lost to Chito… In my opinion, he also lost the Yan fight. It just seems like he’s getting a hell of a push from Dana and the UFC just so they can have someone with a large following holding a belt. I get why they do it for the business but I can see straight through it. I just want to see someone put a hard stop to all this ‘fake’ momentum he has
Just one man’s opinion though, I get why people like this guy, he just ain’t for me

He has 12 fights under the ufc banner and been in since 2018.
He has had some weak fights but also some good opponents. I thought yan won but it was a super close fight and could have went either way and he definitely did the most damage. The chito win was kind of a fluke he was doing well before the freak nerve issue. I did think muhnoz was getting the better of him before the eye poke so was it intentional?
Aljo is the only real solid grappler i remember him facing and that is probably by design. He would be smart to try and face topuria or sandhagen if he gets past chito imo. Merab is gonna be a tough out for him imo, I dont think merab will make the same mistake as aljo… but merab does get hit so who knows.
