They keep talking about the stoppage but he had his head dribbled off the canvas multiple times

Awful fight. Great 1 punch but not an enjoyable fight in the slightest.

Feels early in a title fight.

Wow. What a right hand.
Maybe a tad early but I don’t hate the stoppage.

I think it's the fact that the stoppage came when Aljo started to move/defend himself. If the stoppage was 3 seconds earlier it would have been a good stoppage lol.

That right was beautiful, slips back just enough to get out of the way of the punch, changes angles and counters.

So close!
(I only bet six bucks, like $3usd)
That fight saved the card, I'm not really an O'Malley fan but atleast that was entertaining, and I dont like aljo more.
His chito dig was pretty good tho lol
So does the UFC send O'Malley/Chito for the money, or give Merab his shot?

Looking at the rankings it has to be one of those two. Or a rematch I guess. Think they will go with Chito. But Merab most deserving.
edit. Sandhagen on a 3 win streak including one against Vera. But his last win was so boring, he might have fought himself out of a tile shot with that performance.

Credit where credit is due, O’Malley is a smart dude calling for the Chito rematch with Merab and Sandhagen potentially next in line.

My guy gracious in defeat I forget who I responded to earlier but yeahj he is the polar opposite of Colby he just embraced the hate cause that was his only choice really. I do not think that was an early stop I really didn't even think it was an issue until the broadcast said so. I didn't like what I saw from him at all in the first round I think the length of O'malley played a big part of why he was so hesitant to shoot.
If he stays at 135 I think a Sandhagen rematch would be fun. I am going to assume Aljo is going to want some time off after being kinda rushed into this defense and Sandhagen has to recover from surgery.
As for what is next for O'malley... They are absolutely not going to reward Merab with a title show after refusing to fight Aljo. It is going to be Chito's time.

I don't think there's a shot at all for a rematch and they need to stop with these immediate rematches. Aljo is far from a fan favorite and it wasn't like it was close. I'm guessing it is Chito time.

POTN: Suga Show, Zhang
FOTN: Katona-Gibson. Hopefully Gibson is on stand-by for the first 135’er/145’er they need to step in on short notice (mostly likely 145 if it’s short notice, that dudes weight cut has to suck he’s huge at bantamweight)
