i agree with all of that. i know sean landed more significant strikes but, petr landed more strikes all together & his ground control time equated to a full round if i remember correctly. it’s peculiar because a lot of the time someone will far out strike a fighter, do a lot more damage and maybe take them down even.. then they’ll give it to the other guy for more ground control time/takedowns even if they didn’t really do any damage. this was the opposite case where o malley obviously caused more damage from his striking but had zero ground control/takedowns & won? i think it’s definitely because he’s the ufc’s new “project” as some will say & they want him to blow up even bigger as does he obviously. what doesn’t make sense about it is if that is so, why would him & dana both not push for the sterling fight/title shot? maybe it’s all just apart of a plan to have him finally fight cejudo when he comes back since they have been going back and forth so much already & also because aljo will just take him down & control him the entire time like he did to multiple others. seeing oliveria lose still hurts.
