Submission Radio<\/a> about O’Malley vs. Yan. “You know, not every day someone\u2019s gonna kick you in the leg and then you get drop foot. I mean, he\u2019s got good footwork, he\u2019s got good range, he\u2019s got good movement. Then you got Petr Yan who\u2019s super durable, super tough, as people would say, he\u2019s downloading data. I hate when people say that. It\u2019s the stupidest thing. If he could have punched you in the face, he would\u2019ve punched you in the face. He just can\u2019t. So, he\u2019s trying to get a read on you. But they call it downloading data.<\/p>\n![\"Sean](\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Sean-OMalley.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
“They make him sound like he\u2019s this unbeatable robot. I\u2019m like, dude, whatever. If he starts behind the eight ball like that and gives O\u2019Malley a chance in a three-round fight, an opportunity to run up the score on him, pick his shots, it could be a miserable night for Yan,” Sterling continued about O’Malley. “But if Yan is able to touch him up, I think, go to the body, chop down on O\u2019Malley\u2019s legs. I\u2019m not saying O\u2019Malley\u2019s legs are his weak point, because I know people tend to keep talking about that. But I do think with a tall, rangy fighter who\u2019s gonna be hard to hit up top, how else do you get him? You attack the body. That\u2019s gonna be a lot more stationary and you attack the legs, that\u2019s gonna be a lot more stationary. You can\u2019t get the legs out of the way, the same way you can get the head out of the way, you know? So, I think Yan\u2019s gonna have to come in with a smart IQ, otherwise, he\u2019s gonna go 0-3.”<\/p>\n
As Aljamain Sterling notes, Sean O’Malley will have a seven-inch reach advantage so he can he can potentially use that to win the fight.<\/p>\n
