Completely understand what you mean when you are scared to see a fighter being silent while somebody is being as loud Sterling was during the face-off.
Just like when you see a pitbull and chihuahua encounter one another on the street.
The pitbull just stands there looking at the smaller dog bark all it wants, knowing full well it can snap it in two whenever it wanted too.
Don't know if we will still be calling Sean O'Malley the poodle after today @cabron

Not very satisfying to watch that Yan vs O'Malley fight because of it. To some fighters, Suga will be done already for giving up his back. Yan is just not a wrestler but doesn't have the choice because Sean has the reach advantage.

@rdbase Didn't see that hundred-dollar bet on whoever has the first takedown but Aljo hastily going for it will really get the hard knee for trying. Now that Aljo knows Sean is prepared, he will takedown him probably every time he throws a jab. Grabbing just one leg is enough for Aljo.

In the Petr Yan fight, there are huge takedowns for Petr Yan but the wrong thing that Yan did was he did not engage in the submission you can surely see that O'Malley also give up his back on Yan which was a clear indication that Sean O'Malley was struggling for sure but still there are no follow up for Petr Yan, and on that fight some of the Takedowns of Yan was negated by the fence, because O'Malley was holding on them, so Aljamain Sterling needs to move away from the fence when he is taking down O'Malley because he will surely used that to his advantage which is an illegal move

Did you hear during the press conference Suga Show has a hundred dollar bet with Sterling from instagram on whoever has the first takedown?
This is a strategy of getting him to go for one then anticipating it with a counter punch.
It could just be his chance at a knock out if Aljo falls for it.

Aljamain Sterling VS Sean O'Malley

The Odds for this fight are 1.42 for Sterling and 3.15 for O'Malley, For this fight Sean O'Malley  will need to adjust big time with his ground game, but Sean O'Malley got the height and reach advantage so he got the upper hand with the standing the only problem for O'Malley, in my opinion, he doesn't have that punching power to knockout Sterling fast and for Sterling the Wrestling game is surely his advantage for Yan he surely taken O'Malley down easily but doesn't engage with the submission but for Aljamain Sterling he will surely engage with the submission given him an opportunity to do so, for me the only problem Sterling have on O'Malley is negating his takedowns when O'Malley hold the fence so likely the referee would need to look on this, so my take here is Aljamain Sterling for the win,

Weili Zhang VS Amanda Lemos

The Odds for this fight are 1.32 for Zhang and 3.80 for Lemos For this fight Amanda Lemos got some serious power in his punch for sure a couple of punches to Weili Zhang could be devastating for her but for me Zhang Weili is decent on the stand-up and combines with her ground game now with her recent fight she surely showcases a great comeback so for me the ground game is more effective with the stand-up, so my pick is Zhang Weili,

Marlon Vera VS Pedro Munhoz

The Odds for this fight are 1.54 for Vera and 2.70 for Munhoz, This is going to be a great fight, in my opinion, Pedro Munhoz is a tough opponent for sure and he is an expert in a guillotine choke for sure so this is going to be a hard time for Marlon Vera, but for me, Vera got that slick kicks that could catch Munhoz fast and he could not be aware of it, but the size of Munhoz could be very difficult to handle aswell but for me, Marlon Vera would need to have his distance against Munhoz, and keep this fight on stand-up for me my pick is Marln "Chito" Vera,

@rdbase Going for Sean O'Malley for a KO/TKO huh? That's brave and I think I will tail that. @4.70, that is enough for me. Whenever I make it as a parlay I always lose midway or worst from the start. So I will pass on making a parlay on this event.

The Face-off was intense, Sterling was talking a lot but Sean was just silent. It scares me more when I see fighters who don't talk and just let their fist decide who will be the strongest.
This is going to be a fight that might become one of the unforgettable fights in UFC so let's not miss it. Hours remain before the fight begins. Can't wait.

There is always a chance for the fight to end in KO by Sugar, it could just be 10% but yup it's possible to hit Sterling but I have not really seen him get a clean shot either by knee or head kick. Sean has the technique of throwing a leg kick but will twist turning it into a head kick. Sean will be wrestled for the rest of the time by Aljamain. Suga getting mounted or turning his back, it will be the end of him.  

Actually O'Malley's odds have risen to a whopping 3.10x when I last looked last night.
Nobody is really putting much confidence in this guy to bring an upset.
Did everybody forget how Sterling received the title in the first place?
He is called the fake champion for years since he won the belt when Petr Yan did an illegal knee to a downed opponent. So many saw it wasn't a earned title. But from his fights since then, he has proven these nay-sayers wrong with I believe 3-4 title defenses since.

There was a media day yesterday to get everybody hyped for the fights.
But this to me was alot better to watch then hear the fighters just trash talking each other and thus not proving anything until they step into the octagon for Saturday's big UFC event.

Welcome to The SUGA ERA | a Sean O'Malley Film

Better to wait for the press conference and weigh-ins later on today and tomorrow to get more of a feel of the fighters.

^^
And that is exactly why they call him "The Suga Show" because he surely doesn't disappoint in any of his matches.
Even in the first loss on his UFC record to Marlon Vera.

I have always bet on him for any of his matches so this one won't be any different for this weekend.
No matter whatever the odds are.
Which when I checked them early on Sunday before all the hype with the pre-press conference and weigh-ins happening this week, Sean O'Malley was at 3.00x they are quite high but I will take them even if gets to 2.50x.

3.00x is definitely good if you are rooting for O'Malley why wait for it to drop, by KO I think is possible he does have a knockout power.  Becoming a champion will surely have a new face on top to be challenged. Him vs Merab Dvalishvili will probably be the next.

People bet terribly when they hate these fighters. These 2 are not the most likable guys in UFC. While Sterling is the favorite, fans are actually weighing it like Suha should have been the favorite. Well, big loss for the guys who always bank for the favorites.

^ Weili Zhang VS Amanda Lemos both wants to fight in wrestling so this is going to be a ground game for the two. But obviously, Zhang is the stronger one. I couldn't imagine she lost twice against Namajunas.

For Sterling to fight O'Malley, he will stick to his winning strategy to takedown O'Malley and slam him. Not really a fan of both but I prefer Sterling to win over this poddle.
Nice card though. Some familiar names like Marlon Vera, Pedro Munhoz and Weidman.

Funny you say that.
Because from the last preview show I watched the predictor of the fight outcomes was just saying this has got to the most uneven match-up on a fight card he has ever seen.
He is also predicting all the heavy favorites will win. Since none of the matches are even close for even odds on any of the cards.
But we all know that there is one or two sneaky fights that always produce that one acca-killer!

Now pretty much I am curious if Sean O'Malley can face the wrestling of Aljamain Sterling head-on, as I really don't seem to see him with some ground game, and there surely not much Submission win for O'Malley or if he can defended all that wrestling game of Sterling,

Weili Zhang VS Amanda Lemos fight is not so bad as a Co-Main Event especially this is going to be a great fun fight to really watch and what kind of wrestling Weili will now show us,

Marlon Vera VS Pedro Munhoz is what I anticipated to watch as I really like Marlon "Chito" Vera style and his kicks was really awesome, so this is a great time to watch for sure,

There also has been some rule changes that came out today that recognizes what has happened during the last two UFC Main Events and have addressed these issues within those fights for all bouts going forward:
https://www.mmanews.com/news/rule-changes-help-mma-fighters-who-sustain-eye-pokes-illegal-strikes

The big one is this because of how the Sandhagen fight was very boring due to not having some kind of rule put in place to avoid this happening especially during a main event:
Separating stalling fighters
The third rule approved codifyies language on referee discretion on when to separate stalling fighters.

“Positioning fighters for a restart after a foul warning, physicians examination or a point deduction:

“Intention: A fighter should never be allowed to improve their position based on fouling.

“When a fighter who is in a disadvantaged position fouls and the referee must stop the action — if it can be reasonably accomplished, the fighters should be returned to their positions after the time is taken for the warning, physician’s examination or point deduction.

“When a fighter who is in position of advantage fouls and the referee must stop the action for a warning, physician’s examination or point deduction, the fouling fighter should lose his position of advantage when the bout resumes.
