There are few better strikers in the 135-pound division than Yan and O’Malley. The duo being booked in a matchup is a fight fan’s delight and should be a showcase of elite-level MMA stand-up fighting. Don’t expect this one to be a brawl. No, this will be a human chess match as they look to take each other’s heads off.

Height and reach: While Yan is a more battle-tested and proven striker at the highest levels, O’Malley will enter this fight with significant height and reach advantages. He is four inches taller and will have a pretty notable five-inch reach advantage. For a fighter who uses his length well, that could take some time for Yan to figure out. And “No Mercy” can already sometimes be a slow starter in his fights.

Striking chess match: This matchup will be highly tactical as both men look for weaknesses in the defenses of the other. However, Yan has faced two of the best strikers in the division previously in Cory Sandhagen and Jose Aldo. Scoring clear wins over both. “Sugar” has faced nothing close to the level of those two, so there are still some questions about how elite the 27-year-old truly is on the feet.

The bottom line: Fans win in the fight. For O’Malley’s supporters, a victory over Yan would be massive, prove they were already right about him, and would set “Sugar” up for a title fight. For his detractors, if he gets worked over by the Russian, it will be one of their favorite moments of 2022 in the UFC.

What makes Sean O’Malley so popular?

The Sugar Show: O’Malley has become an immediate star in the UFC by being a cocky fighter with the ability to back up his brash boasts nearly every time. He has a fan-friendly fight style and usually gives them what they want. Seeing fighters get physically embarrassed and put to sleep by a destructive striker is a big part of his draw.
