Yawn O'Malley!

[Nabs]

Will be impressed when he fights and beats somebody legit. The one time he fought one, his ankle got merked and he got put to sleep then woken up by vicious elbows.

Time to fight someone good

Ball squisher O Malley

Not sure what makes you a fight fan

 

[TRUS8888]

To be fair though, he made a point of saying that he gets paid exactly the same no matter who he fights.

Wouldn't you be doing the exact same thing?

I'm not 100% sure how UFC contracts work.. I guess if he called out better fighters and blitzed into the top 5 he can renegotiate and start making more per fight? Maybe a Sher-Agent can explain the business workings.

 

[Candy Routure]

He just looked great.

He’s 100 % correct. But. That’s not a champions mindset. But being champ in the ufc means diddly squat so

 

[Ogata]

He should rematch the dude he lost to or fight Cody regardless if Cody wins or not.

 

[kevo1295]

How is Paiva not legit lol.

It means he gets a new contract, will headline PPV’s, and he’ll get a piece of the PPV action. It means a lot

He has to fight out the contract first. So the better fighters we want to see him fight, he wants more money. Once this contract is over, he will ask for more because it will be time to fight higher opposition

 

[papajohns]

I agree. I can't remember a fighter where the UFC has handled it like they have with him. He keeps winning and does have some hype but he continues to fight guys most have never heard of.

Smart move my Malley. Same pay. But guaranteed extra 50K with zero damage.

Being champ in the UFC seems like the only way to make actual money though.
That or have like massive amounts of fights like Jim Miller, Clay Guida, Cerrone etc. (I've seen a few times they get paid quite well)

 

[Jabbathehook]

I'm not convinced that he can beat the dominant wrestlers, when people approach fighting him like Paiva just did, he is going to be a difficult fight with that reach and striking.

 

[SKITZADACTYL]

stop crying.

dude is must watch.

you guys whine that hes trash but say he should be fighting the very best, and when hes trying to slowly rise fighting solid journeymen guys you cry that everyones a gimme.

 

[BigGucci]

chito would never take that rematch, hes lucky he got a freak injury win

would have got the brakes beaten off him

Fighters, with a bit of heart, courage, fighting spirit

I'm not mad at him about that at all. He's playing it smart as he should. Doing so though, he has to understand that some of us won't take him seriously until he actually fights somebody worthwhile. The kid's style is exciting though...

Dana white just a few days ago said O'Malley is not like Khamzat, he is not ready to be thrown into a firepit. This is a deliberate plan to keep generating cash as long as possible. Dana needs american brash stars.
