In the most recent episode, we discuss Khabib Nurmagomedov’s opinion of Charles Oliveira vs Islam Makhachev, criticism of “company man” Michael Bisping for defending a lopsided fight, and other topics.

 

Sean O’Malley is allegedly being positioned as the “new face of the UFC,” according to Brendan Schaub

 

At UFC 280, Sean O’Malley will face former bantamweight champion Petr Yan, representing a significant step up in his competition.

O’Malley had a rocket strapped to his back, according to former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub, to hasten his rise to popularity.

The former boxer-turned-comedian said the following on an episode of The Schaub Show:

 

“He’s such a massive star and he’s also a guy who makes a lot of money outside the octagon. He’s also a guy they have brought up slow. But at some point, let’s see what we got. I kind of agree with them on this one. Can we put the company’s brand and the name behind him and make him the face of the UFC as other guys are retiring?”

Fans, unfortunately, didn’t agree with “The Countdefense. “‘s Below are some of the finest social media comments:

I know Mikes a company man and the ufc treat him good and that’s understandable but

promotion, but don’t be a complete Hypocrite my man. Got your last fight they should o.

Charles Oliveira’s decision to stay away from the Islam Makhachev fight in Abu Dhabi is explained by Khabib Nurmagomedov

Khabib Nurmagomedov, a former lightweight champion, is confident that Charles Oliveira had a change of heart about taking against Islam Makhachev in Abu Dhabi. According to ‘The Eagle,’ Oliveira knows that the Russian and Dagestani fighters on the promotion’s roster call Abu Dhabi home.

As a result, the former champion of Brazil is anticipated to face harsh opposition in the capital of the United Arab Emirates. In a recent interview with Mike Finch, Khabib stated:

“We don’t choose location. UFC send us location, we fly. Doesn’t matter. They tell us, ‘Okay, go to Brazil,’ we gonna go Brazil, no problem. But Abu Dhabi, it’s like, it’s our territory brother. I think he understand this and he try to little bit, like, avoid, you know? But now, it is what it is.”
