Sean O’Malley has an enormous prediction for the upcoming UFC 322 principal occasion (see different professional predictions right here) between Jack Della Maddalena and Islam Makhachev.
It’ll be Maddalena’s gold that can be at stake. He’ll put the welterweight title he gained again in Might at stake towards Makhachev. It’s an enormous gamble for Makhachev, as he vacated the UFC Light-weight Championship to pursue this chance.
Throughout a current episode of “The BrO’Malley Present,” O’Malley gave his evaluation of Saturday’s tremendous struggle (by way of MMAJunkie).
“Islam is shifting up from 155, completely tearing out the division, shifting as much as 170, chasing double champ standing in Madison Sq. Backyard the place it’s been completed so many occasions earlier than,” O’Malley mentioned on his YouTube channel. “(Georges St-Pierre) did it. Conor (McGregor) did it. I don’t know if (Daniel) Cormier did it there or what, however that may be a legendary place.
“Jack Della Maddalena is coming off an enormous win over Belal Muhammad. I don’t assume Jack’s going to be that a lot greater than Islam. I feel they’re going to be in all probability fairly comparable dimension. Right here it says Islam is 5-(foot)-8, Jack is 5-(foot)-9. Peak-wise, they appear very comparable. Weight-wise, I don’t assume it’s going to play that a lot of a task. It is a enormous struggle. I want it was Islam vs. Ilia (Topuria), however it’s a shut second.”
In the end, O’Malley merely values Makhachev’s dominance an excessive amount of to select towards him, however he doesn’t assume it is going to be straightforward.
“I’m going to go along with Islam,” O’Malley mentioned. “I feel it’s going to be an in depth struggle. I feel he’s going to squeak out an in depth struggle. God, I don’t know. I hate guessing fights, man. I hate guessing fights, however I’m going to go along with Islam.”
