Sean O’Malley
Should fight: [autotag]Rob Font[/autotag]
Why they should fight: O’Malley delivered on his promise to score a viral knockout when he rattled former WEC champ Eddie Wineland with a one-shot finish to continue to build on his hype.
The undefeated bantamweight prospect truly appears to be legit, because Wineland is no slouch and he put him away in a devastating manner. That without question deserves another step up in competition, and in the shark-infested waters that are in the bantamweight division, there’s no easy fights as he moves up the rankings.
O’Malley should not be catapulted too high, but Font (17-4 MMA, 7-3 UFC) is someone who sits just outside the top 10 of the UFC’s rankings and is another dangerous striker who possess more experience than O’Malley. You could poke holes in the matchup with Wineland and say the veteran is a bit past his expiration date, but that doesn’t exist with Font, who is very much in his prime and looking to move up in notoriety himself.
