'Suga' battled his toughest test to date in a slugfest with the former champion.

I don't know," O'Malley said. But the former champion, who worked a steady diet of calf and body kicks throughout, then responded to being stunned by a left cross in Round 2 by winding up for a left-hand haymaker of his own seconds later to rock O'Malley. "I was a little surprised [Yan chose to wrestle]," O'Malley said. But I was rocked." The post-fight statistics largely fell in O'Malley's favor after outlanding Yan 85 to 76 in total strikes and 69 to 51 in significant strikes. 1 guy in the world."

Things heated up again in the third when O’Malley rocked Yan again. Yan spent some time on top, but O’Malley was able to scramble back to his feet. Yan went back to his wrestling, picking up a double leg to plant O’Malley on his back. O’Malley stood back up, but there wasn’t much time left on the clock. If O’Malley wins, though, we may see ‘Suga’ fighting a belt in the near future. The main and co-main events see UFC gold on the line.

'Worst robbery in UFC history': Fighters fume as star dudded in controversial call.

Yan claimed six takedowns and was in control for a significant amount of time on the ground, and was stunned by the decision. I could see people saying Yan won the fight, I could see people saying O’Malley won the fight. At the start of the second round, O’Malley rocked Yan with a brutal left hand. I thought, depending on who you gave the first round to determined who won the fight but that was not the case.” What’s weird is it’s not the way I thought it was with the judge’s scorecards. UFC boss Dana White announced it to be the Fight of the Night in his post-event press conference while O’Malley said he was prepared for a 15-minute war.
