Love this match up should be fun number one contender match. Though I'm not convinced they would do Yan vs Merab part two if both win their next fights.

Yeah it was a one sided mauling as I recall. O'Malley did better against Merab!

Where does Figgy rank all time if he wins the BW belt? He’d have to be an all time great

I don't really think he has the resume for being considered an all time great. He only has 2 title defense and went 1-2-1 vs Moreno, which unfortunately took up a lot of his fighting prime. I think he's a fantastic fighter but I don't see really see him being an all time great unless he wins the bantamweight title and holds it for a little while.

I also think his weight class hurts, Mighty Mouse doesn't often get GOAT considerations despite building the flyweight division and lapping the other contenders.

Expected a bit more in terms of name value (I know Pinedo was supposed to be booked, guess he’s still hurt, Yoel/Corey was at one point in talks for this card as well) but still a decent amount of fights/prospects with intrigue and a pretty good PPV that I will be setting sails to watch as per usual

Somebody is trying to avoid the Umar fight

Sounds like Merab wants another payday before skewering his value and drawing ability against someone who doesn't have very much pull or hype to the casual fan.

As Chael always says, fight the easiest guy, for the most money, and the highest position on the card. An O'Malley fight has all 3 over an Umar fight.

Idk why their beef is so funny to me
