The Sean O’Malley-Petr Yan encounter!

The reach and length of O’Malley kept Petr Yan at a distance and initially controlled the tempo of the fight. Yan’s utilization of his leg kicks neutralized O’Malley’s movement for the better part of the fight.  

Albeit Petr Yan’s leg kicks counterbalanced O’Malley’s striking, it didn’t render it obsolete. Sean O’Malley was still able to ensure his movements enabled him to land more significant strikes than Petr Yan. 

However, Petr Yan was successfully able to use his wrestling to get the upper hand on O’Malley’s striking. Yan had a control time, clocking 5:44 as he found success due to “Suga’s” deficiency with wrestling. 

Sean O’Malley eventually garnered the judge’s attention with his superlative stand-up skills, which led to him being declared the winner of the ‘#1 contender fight’!

The result!

Nevertheless, O’Malley walked away with a split decision victory, defeating the number one ranked Bantamweight in Petr Yan. A defining moment for the “DWCS” alumni. 

 

O’Malley’s victory guaranteed that the American is set to fight Aljamian Sterling in a tremendous bout early next year, as confirmed earlier by Dana White.

That contest would make for a spectacular fight. O’Malley facing Aljamain Sterling in the center of the octagon could have a catastrophic outcome for the former.
