Media Sean O'Malley Says He Wants To Fight For Double Champ Status Next After Chito Fight

[Black9]

Sean went on Mighty Mouse's Youtube saying he'll be at UFC 298 and that He Wants to Fight For Double Champ Next If Topuria wins

Anyone else getting tired of champs wanting Double Champ Status without properly defending their belt?

Chito by KTFO confirmed

 

[JKS]

I would really love to see Sean vs Volk.

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

But what bout Merab

Lol it's funny how he only wants to fight for double champ status if Topuria wins, he admits he wants no part of Volk. <Lmaoo>

 

[jack1755]

he is a decent fighter, still cant stand the guy tho. Too fake.

I think everyone is getting tired of it, it's a quicker way to stamp a "GOAT" status and the UFC keep allowing it even tho it derails divisions(just look at the current state of lightweight).
The truth is, it's a lot more impressive to defend your belt multiple times and clear out the top guys as much as you possibly can.

And bantamweight has a decent amount for O'Malley right now(if he beats Chito) with Merab and Sandhagen.
There's also guys like Yadong and Umar on their way up there too.

All these double champs are silly. They almost all cherrypicked the time to fight a certain person who was champion.

Never saw anyone not named BJ Penn hunting for Georges' belt when he had it. Didn't see anyone hunting for Silva's belt when he had it. Didn't see anyone hunting for Jon's belt when he had it.

They need to just close the door on these fights unless the champs of BOTH weightclasses have like 5 title defenses+.

volk would break this dude like a breadstick

 

[Neck&Neck]

Conor ruined the game

 

[Skarsgard]

Remember when Aldo dominated two orgs over several years and still got told he'd have to vacate his belt before trying?

 

[DarthChen731]

O'Malley vs. Pennington for the undisputed BW title

But what bout Merab

zzzzz what ? who Merzzzzzzz zzzzz

FUCK OFF with this "double champ" shit.
It's meaningless until you defend your belt for a sustained period of time, and it also holds up the division(s) for no good reason.

Clear your division out first then we can talk about "super fights" and "moving up".

Until then, stop trying to take shortcuts to become one of the "greats", just defend your belt over a sustained period and your legacy will be greater than a guy who moved up and won the belt then lost it immediately anyway.

It's just cringe.

I honestly think he is very sincere... he is just a weird dude... he's a really odd guy..

O’Malley has a very tough path ahead. If he makes it out as champion, I’ll be very surprised. The UFC will continue to protect him as much a possible.

 

[MRT]

No.

 

[Psychojoe86]

It's crazy how deliberate O'malley is being. He clearly says that's if Topuria wins lol.

So what, you get to avoid your own division, while cherrypicking the champ in the division above? Cherrypicking 2 divisions now!?

Lord lol.
