Well, he did it, but how? Blaine Henry gives an illustrated, frame-by-frame breakdown of Sean O'Malley's masterful title-winning performance at UFC 292 in Boston.
with a peach of a right hand and some ground-and-pound to rip the belt away. While the first round of the fight seemed uneventful, it wasn’t, and there were some nuances there that led to the finish. In today’s issue of Aftermath, we are looking at the coronation of “Suga.” We will look at how O’Malley used his footwork to keep out of grappling situations and set up Sterling for that fateful right hand that cost him his title.
Against a fighter like Sterling, where an ill-timed switch will end with you being taken down, it is important to knowto switch. This means not switching when Sterling is close enough to blitz and grab you but also knowing that switching on the low kick, Sterling’s primary weapon standing up, is also an option. Frequently throughout the fight, O’Malley stepped back as Sterling came forward and threw a low kick, be it inside or outside.
Early in the fight, Sterling was the one pushing O’Malley back. His kicks had O’Malley pushed to the fence where O’Malley would circle out laterally. Eventually, O’Malley began to threaten Sterling as he was against the fence. This led to Sterling not pressing forward as much and allowing O’Malley, who could threaten Sterling asTo change the tide, O’Malley would run out of room against the fence with Sterling pressing forward.
Readers of that Beforemath article will recall that O’Malley needed to negate the kicks, which we mentioned checking the kicks or countering with the cross. O’Malley “checked” the kicks by stepping back into the opposite stance, a uniquely O’Malley performance. We also said, as previously mentioned, that turning his back was not the right idea and avoiding that would be paramount. Lastly, we talked about the necessity for Sean O’Malley to concede ground when appropriate.
