Top UFC featherweight Sean O'Malley commented on his split decision win over Petr Yan at UFC 280.
If I had lost to Jan, people would respect me a lot more. They would say I lost, but I looked incredibly good. Now they're saying, "He won? You've got to be kidding me!" The people who are pissed off at my win are the people who said Yan would give me a good thrashing.
