Anyone betting for Sean here? Personally I think its gonna be a big surprise how well Sean does compared to last time but I think Merab will edge it out, again I would not be surprised by an early Sean KO though punchers chance is a scary thing.
I have a golden rule for betting that i never side with a guy that has fought less. Sean has been absent since their last fight. Merab only fought once. but he's been far busier. Maybe Sean makes adjustments , but he loss last time by a landslide, so idk how he's going to curve it so much.
Honestly, round 1 and 3 were closer than people like to admit. Round 1 Sean pieced him up on the feet for 3 straight minutes and because merab kneed him against the cage and got a take down apparently we just ignore that. Oh and a dog**** submission attempt. Merab clearly won 2 & 4 clearly and 3 close. Sean won 5 and 1 close IMO. However I don’t see O’Malley getting the win. The surgery, the inactivity, it just doesn’t bode well. There is the chance he lands something big or improves his takedown defence, but I wouldn’t bet on it
