Don’t get me wrong I hope he sleeps the Russian but I don’t see it.

I hope it’s not on the mat for 15 minutes, that’s Yan’s best move.
Thought Sugar Show was younger.
Where are the boos?
oh right not in the states.

Sugar for me.
I think the take down gave yan the first
Think the takedown defence is gassing O'Malley a bit.
Sean needs to keep his distance, 1-1. Let’s see if he has energy after that.
Isn’t the scoring now to essentially disregard takedowns if the round is mostly on the feet?
He needs to move to the side when Peter comes in.
You can’t retreat straight back.
Fight of the night so far. Suga stock rises no matter the result.
great fight - O'Malley slightly naive but comes out with big credit regardless I think.
2-1 Yan though, the boring little cnut.
Well I owe Sean an apology, great fight!
Should be 29-28 or 30-27 for Yan, but what do i know, i don't know the rules properly 
Oh my fecking word that is a horrendous robbery
Class.Wow that's sure to push O'Malley up the rankings massively
That's a rob.
I mean, certainly had the more significant strikes, and Yan is wearing his more obviously.
But that should have been a Yan decision.

I agree with the decision.
What a crap decision, loool!
As I understand it, if a round is mostly down to strikes, takedowns are disregarded. Strikes on the ground count of course, but you don’t score on them like you used to.
That was 29-28 Yan
O'Malley's chin by the way! took 4 or 5 big left hands on the button.
Sugar uncharacteristically chill and magnanimous - even he knows!

Wow! I had it 2-1 for yan, but i think its ok. No reason too call this a controversial decision because it was so close.
Omalley looks genuinely surprised though

Yan also had almost 6 minutes of control, according to the stats, should matter quite a bit.
I don't think it's mental, even though I would have scored it 2-1 at best for O'Malley. Think you're right re a takedown scoring hangover that isn't really the case as much these days.
Too much of that happened on the ground for Petr not to win
Great fight but on first viewing that's an awful decision. O' Malley has just proven that he's legit though.
He didn't really do anything with it to be fair.
Good fight. While I was rooting for O Malley, think he was lucky there.
Surprised by that decision but no issue with it. Yan did nothing with the takedowns and very little when he was on top, Sean was rarely in trouble on the ground. Great fight.
definitely
The knee which cut Yan won it for O’Malley I think.
I thought Yan won myself but it was close. Not a robbery. Round 1 was close.
TJ to roll back the years and win this
Yan got beat by a prostitute on the side of the road.
That's not a robbery at all, silly to call it that. I think Yan probably edged it but the first round was very close and O'Malley despite the takedowns did most of the damage in the 3rd.
Great to see O'Malley prove he belongs and add an exciting contender to this division.
That said, I don't think he deserves a title shot on the back of that, and would love to see them run it back as a 5 round main event.
