“I’ve been listening to Petr and Merab are going to combat for a very long time – nonetheless nothing booked,” O’Malley mentioned on the “Pound 4 Pound” podcast. “I don’t know if it’s Merab’s nostril or Petr’s again. It sucks. A type of guys is clearly holding it up, and I don’t assume it’s Merab. I believe Merab would combat along with his arm lower off. So I believe Petr might be simply coping with some accidents.
“He’s the champ, and if he’s going to come back again (towards) Merab – I fought Merab understanding I used to be getting surgical procedure after with a torn labrum. Nonetheless, it was a detailed combat, after which I get the surgical procedure and combat Merab once more seven months later, simply eager to be again, simply wanting the belt again.
“You’ll be able to’t combat Merab on half-assed camps. You want a full, full camp. You want to be totally wholesome to combat Merab, and Petr most likely is aware of that. So he’s taking his time, as he ought to. He’s the champ. You don’t need to go on the market and lose the belt since you did one thing you shouldn’t do, so I get it. But additionally, if they need me vs. Petr subsequent, I do assume me vs. Petr Yan 2, rematch, is the largest combat in bantamweight historical past. I believe it’s the largest one you possibly can presumably make proper now, and the UFC can be risking (it) making Merab vs. Petr.” [HT MMA Junkie]
