The UFC 280 PPV main card got some contraversy when the super-popular Sean O’Malley won a split decision over the former UFC bantamweight champion, Petr Yan.
The first round saw little feeling out, but things heated up in the second. O’Malley had a strong start to the second act, staggering the former champ with a piston of a left hand. Yan almost instantly responded with a left hand of his own that hurt O’Malley. After this crazy exchange, things slowed down a bit when Yan hit a takedown and got on top.
The final round was pretty gritty as well.
