Man, the number of comments we all had to read for the last 3 months about Sean being “doomed”. Gotta say, this feels nice.
Lol talking like you won something 🤣🤣 beta mentality
Dana paid Aljo to take a dive because he’s black and can’t sell. They wanted Sean to win to get more lgbtxyz fans🌈🌈🌈
@@NoahCanFBYou were one of the losers saying he didn’t have a chance. Cry
Credit to O'Malley, but Merab's gonna end him, so yeah
It’s always like that. They even said it when he faced yan lol
People so seriously underrated how freakin' good Sean is going backwards. They won't anymore.
Sean is a great striker everywhere; forwards, backwards, side-to-side, he can do it all. I'm curious to see how he fares against the other elite grapplers at 135 (Merab and Umar in particular), but this was still an amazing win.
Yep my thoughts exactly 100%
Nope everyone knew
Mark not so Goddard
@madgavin7568 Sterling couldnt find much takedown and grapple timings. You cant just recklessly grapple an accurate striker that can hit from almost any angle like Sean. When Aljo had grappled with Sean, he didnt do much. Sean will have his right hand and knee waiting for those reckless Merab takedowns.
Sean just validated all the hype he's been getting from the MMA community for the past years. UFC saw the star in him since the contender series, and he's obliged himself from that moment on to make it realized. So inspiring.
Hype? His a square
@@hdddgghe’s*
@@hdddggwho just KO’d the bantamweight goat 😂😂😂 cry harder
I don’t like his lifestyle but I could see it in him from the ultimate fighter he was as talented as they come
@@irishninja2009wym
The day he knocked out Eddie Wineland was the same day I graduated high school. I watched the fight with my buddy and we became fans of him that day. Here we are 3+ years later and we’re both working jobs and moving on with our lives, but got together and watched Sean win the belt tonight. I don’t know why I attribute so much meaning to this, but it helped us realize just how far we’ve come in our own lives since the pandemic. Absolutely surreal night and shout out to the sugar show. We’re taking over.
Feel that bro
Bro that an amazing story, catching up with old pals is always a treat, Suga truly feels like someone who rose up the rankings in front of our eyes, thanks for sharing 🫡💯✊🏽
I am almost crying reading this! I relate so much! Thank you for sharing! 🫶
@@NoahJamiesonChatz The year 2020 was a hard one for everybody, and it’s events like this that remind us, there are always brighter days.
Hey brother, hope you guys are still in contact. Good friends are a rarity these days but we all need em.
The coach told him to wait for the counter... What a boss
One of the most underrated coaches the in the game for sure
Wait for the scripted over extension by Aljo on your power side. ENORMOUS rookie move from a seasoned vet…. HMMMMMMMMM 🤣👍👍🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫🤫
@@BEATmyguest31 Like vets cant get impatient. Conor vs Aldo for instance
@@BEATmyguest31 Never trust an adult who uses too many emojis. 😂😂😅😢😌🤤😆😌😟🥹😘😀😃😁🥹😂
@BEATmyguest31 Imagine being so triggered by a dude with rainbow hair that it makes you think the UFC is scripted. Wow buddy, best of luck to you. Dark place indeed.
Timing is everything for O'Malley. His constant movement confused Aljo big time.
Like Conor, The Spider in their prime. Timing is everything with high fight IQ of course like GSP, Jones, Volk..
with Canelo in his corner, his striking was bound to be clean as.
@@ksadjdadjaifenlol 😂
@@ksadjdadjaifenI watched this live was canello there?
khabib complete fighter, greatest of all time
Sean forgot to say “I love you Joe Rogan.”😂
The fact that he gave massive props to Sterling being the best bantamweight of all time is phenomenal. Congratulations Sean, you earned the gold 🫡
Lol we all know Sean and the commentators proclaimed Aljo the GOAT just so Sugas win can seem more impressive , I know you're not that naive my friend
Cruz, Dillashaw, Cejuno, Barao. If Frankie Edgar fought at his real weight instead of fighting lightweights, he would have held the belt for a decade. People just say the most recent is the greatest of all time, because that is the only fighter they know. Look at Khabib, his record is pure garbage. 13 fights in a decade, mostly 3 round undercard early prelim bouts against fighters with losing records. Clowns call him the best P4P to ever live.
@@samblack5313I agree I think Cruz’s 12 fight win streak and title reign despite all of the injuries is quite impressive, Aljo’s 9 win streak is nothing to laugh at either he does have some good wins on there like Sandhagen, Yan, a much older but still very good Cejudo all though he was just coming out of retirement after about 3 years off, and Munhoz I wouldn’t count TJ cuz TJ shouldn’t have fought Aljo in his condition at all, I think Cruz’s wins over Demetrius Johnson, A Prime Dillashaw after coming out of a 2 year hiatus after his injuries, Uriah Faber, Benavidez, and Munhoz are definitely bigger feats and I agree with you on the Khabib stuff cuz Khabib is extremely overrated he’s not well rounded at all his wrestling was just that good probably some of the best ever but he did pad his record with tin cans and never really ever fought and super elite grapplers outside of like RDA so he wasn’t really ever challenged if he fought someone like Volkanovski or the new Charles Oliveira they’d definitely give him some problems
Cruz past his prime, Yan by DQ, Yan by a horrible decision, TJ with -1 arms and still took him 2 rounds, CCC after sitting on his ass for years... Yeah, y'all just don't know shit about MMA I guess lol
@@svengali5862I was gonna say it but 🤷🏻
This just feels like absolute pure relief for Sean fans, that believed in him all along. He showed the world he has the composure and calm to be the best in the world. The people’s champ!

Beautiful performance by Sean a lot of people doubted him due to his fight with yan but man… that was a clean performance made good money as well. 👏

Been a while since a moment seems surreal in this sport, amazing watching sean go from an exciting prospect to finally being here.
So happy for him! Been a fan for years knew he was special
Lol Tim really leaned in to say "Tell Cheeto he'll get his ass whooped next"
Man he is legit sniper he is no joke amazing TD as well🎉
Was actually just about to post that he has made serious progress since the Yan fight with his takedown defence.
I said it all week on here! So happy he got it done. Sean and Tim are great guys and put all the work in to make it happen. Young and focused! Congratulations Champ!
I was nervous right along with Suga. Like many I watched this dude grow right before my eyes. I'm happy for him long live the champ 🍭
That was truly a special moment. The vibes are crazy.
This is genuinely the first time I've seen Sean this happy. I'm so happy for him after all the doubts, he is absolutely championship material and now I'm definitely invested for what he will bring in the future. O'Malley strap season, baby!!!
He's just glad the ref saved him with an early stoppage cuz his opponent was clearly ok to stay in the fight.
Congratulations on your pretty impressive TKO stoppage win Sean O'Malley
haven't felt so euphoric about a win in a long time. he's always had talent, he's getting better and better, he's a real young talented fighter. and by winning the title, he finally shut up all the haters, who hid in their cave right now.
"did chito win?,was it boring, probably"💀
What a Journey, congrats Champ!
I knew this day would come, from the first time I watched him on the contender series. Dude is next level with timing. Well deserved 🙏🙏🙏
Man a lot of us have seen him grow and it’s awesome he is a champion well deserved what they got to say now
I've got only positive things to say about Sean now. He proved he was elite in the Petr fight (irrespective of the decision) and this fight proved he's championship caliber.
What a fkn ride that was for us and all the people that have had his back and believed in him the whole time. Can't believe how much he's grown so quick.. fkn impressive
Most satisfying KO in MMA history. Incredibly well deserved.

Never thought twice about this fight O’Malley you are the man big time so smooth with every fight making them look like a easy win congrats never doubted you
Sean has been very smart in his career...he didn't rush to the top, fought plenty of easy fights, but knew exactly what he was capable of. He looked way more focused and alert than Aljo, (who was checking his hair between rounds).
No the opposite he jumped from a non ranked guy to number 1 contender. I was worried he went too fast but he proved me wrong. Fucking suga show hells yeah

I just had a strange feeling all week. So many people talking about Sean not being able to stop Aljo's physicality, I just felt like this was being heavily counted out as a likely result. Excited for Sean's coming career, but sad that this means Aljo will probably never truly get the respect he deserves.
Sean moved well and aljo overreacted. Aljo needed to shoot and keep shooting..only hope. He looked so lost with a fresh Sean in front of him. Not at all like a champion.
Aljo kept looking past o’malley, he was acting like he’d already won during the build up to the fight.
Lets not talk about what Aljo deserves, he got enough with 2 gifted decisions and a DQ
@@manavbhalla2861thank you!
@@Midnightspecial2693 Precisely. Bro kept talking about calling out Volk after the fight like O'Malley wasn't a legit threat.

“I don’t even know if it was a mistake maybe I’m just that fucking good”😂
RIP to everyone who thought Aljo would win. And new!

He was a super star years ago!
Genuinely happy for dude this one of those feel good moments
He looks super happy a dream come true it's so wholesome to see
Not a bad stoppage at all. Aljo was not fighting back the moment he was dropped.
Everybody was counting him out, it’s MMA there’s always a chance
How when strikers is wrestlers kryptonite
@@thewilliscamp611 Last year it was Leon Edwards against Kamaru Usman. This year it was Sean O'Malley against Aljamain Sterling.
@@thewilliscamp611You mean wrestlers are strikers kryptonite. Aljo tried to strike with him. which was a big mistake
@@thecheif6316nah if you look aljo was actually going for a td the whole time, every time he seen it looked like he could a little he went. He got defended and then knocked out.
@@thewilliscamp611 sean showed he had decent wrestling this fight though, a lot of strikers nowadays are showing that it's gonna be hard to just ragdoll them with anyone that has decent wrestling (edwards, o malley, pereira, volkanovski, hill)
I love how Tim came over to tell him to call out Chito.
Sean hit him with the power of every tall skinny person around the world 💪🏽
Sean really is THAT good. What a beautiful counter punch. Congrats to Suga Sean O'Malley!
I have been saying the whole time that this kid would be champ. His striking is tricky, excellent movement, throws so many different strikes from all weird angles, and the kid has KO power.
Always a pleasure to see a striker fold a wrestler
Merab ready to defend his husband’s honor 😤
Sean had the moment he needed. So surreal to see
Love seeing Tim’s reactions
5 years I’ve waited for this 😢
We all needed this. This kid becoming the champ is the best thing that has arguably happened to this division. Finally an exciting and less cringe champ in this division besides Yan in the last two decades.
I didn't realize the ufc had BW 20 years ago
TJ and Cody were exciting. Goofy but exciting fighters.
It's not even close to that serious. So many people would call Sean cringe but I'm happy he won.
Why do you care who's cringe and who's cool? Just enjoy they fights, it's not reality tv u nerd 😂
@seanmatthewking Prime TJ was one of the best fighters I’ve ever seen, in their era. His movement, stance changing, and all round brilliance in every facet of the game. He destroyed heavily juiced and unbeaten Barao twice in a row, ended both barao and garbageradt’s careers in humiliating fashion. The destruction of Cody was biblical. Pop for juice, you’re out the convo, though, even if only EPO. That weight cut was never happening.
Definitively a 100% win as they come! Left No room for speculation nor 2nd guess his victory. Guy dropped aljo like that its as clear as day.. this is one of them big victory worth celebrating. Well done to him. Seans story played out how he envisioned it. Being left stunned and shocked is an understatement
Lool its not clear. What's clear is the ref stopped it early. Aljo was moving, got to his knees and all he todo is spring up
@@rukonza5666it was over he may have been rolling around on the ground like a child but wouldn’t be able to get up, those were big head shots he took on the ground the fight was over. Let’s see you try to get up after taking those shots😂

MAN, the UFC pushed for this like crazy. O'Malley getting a title fight after an NC against Munhoz and a very debatable win against Yan. It'll be really interesting to see how badly they want O'Malley to stay on the throne, but the next matchup will be telling.
Man. Haters are going to bitch and complain about anything.
@@713Tankbuster Right, it's annoying when some people don't agree with you, isn't it? Well, I guess you'll get over it.
I can’t believe it , I’m amazed he won haha , happy for him - even Dana was hella happy the way he pats him back with a smile lol
I’m not gonna lie, I doubt this man but look at him now 🙌 That was an incredible sniping right hand with a perfect set up
Perfect walkout song. Perfect right hand. What a night for the Suga Show!!

Proved me dead wrong. Great job suga 👏🏻
Never thought I would say this but *WELCOME TO THE SUGA SHOW* ... What an incredible performance from O’Malley
I mean aljo did this to himself, he should’ve been adamant about getting the fight to the ground. He stood on the feet too long and payed the ultimate price. Not surprised Sean got the KO
It feels right that this man won, elite striker
Went exactly how I said it would. Congrats to the new champion. Nice win.
Late stoppage honestly. O’Malley nearly killed Aljo
Bruh people are saying it was early
Stoppage was just about right for championship fight
I’m saying 😂😂 he was getting pummeled
stopped while moving😂not surprised o’Malleys Sweet Sweat was everywhere
It wasn't late at all. It was early. Not egregious, though.
Sean did everything right defended the takedowns and then sniped him with a beautiful shot. Well deserved. Cant doubt the man now.
First time I saw Sean O'Malley was when he KO'd David Nuzzo with a spinning wheel kick on some video of the best knockouts of 2017. Then I saw him on DWCS where Snoop Dogg was going crazy after his win vs Alfred Khashakyan. To see how far he has come is inspiring, and even if I wanted him to lose tonight, I'm happy for him. Now let's see how much higher he can go.
I'm usually good at predicting future champs. But I never EVER thought sean was that level. Well done to him.
Merab deserve the shot
I'm just glad we have a champion who deserves the status. Well done.
This champion just called the former champ the best bw of all time, so I'm pretty sure Suga thinks Aljo deserved the status
@@erenjaegerbomb8653 The reason why he says that was summed up in his countdown interview. "He is the bantam weight goat, I put his lights out, what does that make me?" Its about making himself look good.
@@tylerdai88 yes he knows it makes him look good, but he isn't lying to do so.
I love the way this guy fights never a dull movement the fluidity the fakes slips everything seeing him get the belt he deserves is super fulfilling it’s like a cherry on top the chito fight was bullshit he’s getting a beatdown next time they fight.
I’m not the biggest Sean O’Malley fan but he is a killer . And Aljo showed some class clapping for Sean as they announced the winner
My god did this ever feel like McGregor/Aldo. What a right hand. Ppl ignored Aljo reckless shots cause of their hate for O'Malley.
Wanted it to go a little longer but things would of probably gone worse for Aljo. Props to Suga tho🔥
They absolutely would’ve gotten worse for Aljo lol. He was getting smashed.
@@bradleye660 No if it went longer Aljo would have won. I predicted this fight so well. Because of both fighters approach it was either gonna be Sean tko/koing Aljo, or Aljo winning after many rounds because Omalley would get tired and taken down. I even said that in another video.
He absolutely played Aljo with the setup. So good, he doesn’t even know how good he is.
We have officially entered the alternate bantamweight universe
Sean can never be called an “overhyped fighter” again. Ever.
Pumped for the young man 😊
you can see sean was overwhelmed in the first few moments after his win
Rohan was so happy for him and so am i
He humbled alot of people tonight including me.He has to get through merab now though
Cito first then merob jacket 🧥
He would fight Chito first tho, you know how ufc works lol😂
Merab has such a homosexual style tho, I’d like the chito rematch first.
Dana's not going to give Merab the shot since he refused to fight Aljo.
Merab deserves it but it's definitely going to be Chito
I was nervous and doubtful before fight but damn I'm so happy for him ❤
