Couldn't win the big one though. McG is a two-division champ and he's a cokehead with fuck all grappling. The bar isn't very high.

Nunes and Cejudo are the other 2D champs though - if anything, McG brings the average down. Sure, Legohead is a tosser, but he's legit.

DC is top 20 all-time. He perhaps scrapes into the top 10 if you are being generous.Ā 

I wouldn'tĀ rank him above the likes of GSP, Aldo, Mighty Mouse, and Jones. I also rank the likes of Holloway, Cruz, McGregor, and Dillashaw above him, because they competed in much better weightclasses with higher standards of competition.Ā Ā

McGregor is the only one whoĀ didnā€™t even attempt to defend either of his belts. Heā€™s definitely bottom of the barrel.Ā 

Yeh, his champ-champ status is really only notable for having been the first. As it is, it's a bit of a "England Wayne Rooney" record.

That's 45 minutes @Egg ShenĀ - whats going on in it?

A summary....

Quote

According to Oā€™Malley, thereā€™s noĀ serious damage to the ankle. He said he ā€œjust rolled it about seven timesā€ and indicated the problem couldā€™ve stemmed from his pre-fight decision to loosen the wraps on his feet.

ā€œWarming up in the back, everything was perfect,ā€ Oā€™Malley said onĀ ā€œThe Timbo and Sugar Showā€ podcast. ā€œIā€™m in (expletive) good shape. Iā€™m breaking this mother(expletive) 100 percent in my mind. I get back there, doing our warm-up, everything is going perfect. About five minutes before weā€™re set to walk Iā€™m like, ā€˜Do you think you could (expletive) loosen up my ankle brace? Itā€™s (expletive) tight.ā€™ So heā€™s sitting back loosening up my ankle braces because they were tight. Thatā€™s about it.

ā€œWalked out, everything felt good, got in there. I was in front of him, and Iā€™m like, in my mind, Iā€™m like, ā€˜This is easy. Heā€™s slow. He canā€™t hit me.ā€™ You canā€™t hit me, and you canā€™t take me down. I didnā€™t think he was going to be able to take me down because he was so slow. ā€¦ God, just standing there knowing I had one leg and like, ā€˜He still sucks.'ā€

Oā€™Malley gave Vera no credit for the outcome. He said he felt he was in ā€œcomplete controlā€ from the very start, but then it turned on a dime. There are parts of that reality Oā€™Malley can accept, and others heā€™s still grappling with.

ā€œWe picked the date, we picked the time, and we both walked out. It doesnā€™t matter what the (expletive) happens,ā€ Oā€™Malley said. ā€œWhoever wins, how it happens, however they win, wins. He won. It sucks for me, because I lost to someone who I look at as not very good. I look at him, and Iā€™m like, ā€˜Heā€™s not that good.ā€™ And I (expletive) lost to him. Thatā€™s whatā€™s the most frustrating thing. Losing to someone Iā€™m better than. That ā€˜humbleā€™ post was a (expletive) joke. So for everyone commenting stupid (expletive), Iā€™m not humble.

ā€œLetā€™s look at his career in five years, and letā€™s look at mine. Iā€™m going to be (expletive) world champ, and heā€™s going to be a (expletive) journeyman. Thatā€™s just what his style is. He wins some; he loses some. Heā€™s slow, but heā€™s gritty, so heā€™s going to be able to finish some people after they beat him up for a while. ā€¦ He gets lucky and beats me and jumps up like he won the (expletive) lottery. That just shows what kind of a (expletive) he was.ā€

ā€œLiterally the only thing that bugs me is I lost in a way where I feel like I didnā€™t lose, and I lost to a guy I feel like is not that good,ā€ Oā€™Malley said. ā€œI had the same pain, but all around my ankle, and I remember dragging my foot up against the cage like, ā€˜(Expletive).ā€™ Even still, didnā€™t feel in danger. Iā€™m like, ā€˜OK, Iā€™m not very mobile, but I donā€™t feel in danger. I donā€™t feel like heā€™s a threat.ā€™ I was hoping he would shoot in on me so I could try to guillotine him. (Expletive) cracked him with a good shot, then that last little flurry I had. I donā€™t think he punched me once on my feet, even after my foot was (expletive) up.ā€
