#UFC #UFC292 - Спорт
Megan Olivi is one of the few, if not only, interviewers that constructs her conversations solely around the fighter without drawing attention to herself as others do. She asks questions that show she is truly listening and being genuine.
agree she is the best
megan > ariel. she has no bias, she has no agenda. she doesn't try to spread UFC hate with every question and answer. its really just great journalism and professionalism on her behalf. I just hope the fans gravitate more towards her.
Her fight IQ is a 10 out of 10. She married a good man and she's not a typical Vegas girl like the rest of tv personalities. That's what really makes her so likeable and respected. No fake plastic either. What you see is what you get. Just sad that she has to go with the background goth idea. What the heck are they trying to protray? Candles, devil's fruit, Draculas chairs? I'm sure it wasn't Megan's.
Wait, I just had an epiphany. They teamed up with the WWE. So it's leftovers from the Undertakers backdrop. Hahahah.
Facts
She likes what she does for what it is..and she's a foxy
Aljo is the only Champ going into his 5th straight title fight and still the B side of the main event lmao
IF THAT DOESN'T SCREAM "THIS DUDE SUCKS" IDK WHAT WILL
He's the favorite on betting sides so idk about that.
@@vhsqualityHe’s not talking about the betting line 😂 Aljo isn’t popular
Aljo is just not that guy
It's actually ridiculous tho because suga sweet over here sucks and aljo main event is a beast mayne
UFC wants him to win sooo bad
Oh yeah, they do...big time.
I mean he can tho if you really know about Sean he’s super disciplined he serious about this he always watches his health and trains his ass off
Yea this is 1828271 interview with Sean this week lol
@@aliabdelaziz905 very true....
"Disney" wants him to win so bad. More pedos and sick rainbows will be produced the more he wins.
Hearing what Sean did for his brother has earned some massive respect. Very few people will work to redeem a meth addict, family or not. Sean has a brash attitude during self promotion, but you can tell he's a good guy. A family man of the modern age.
Basically a Howard Stern show. Now better, no worse. Cuz wants to get his shock 😲 🫨 🫢 jock on!! What's has this world come to?
Even Nina Drama doesn't stoop this low for views. She's amazing!! Can't wait for her interview with Megan Olivi. That's right!! You read it correctly. The two most respectable women in the fight game 🎮. Enough with Big Ron (Ronald McDonald). His gimmick shows are up and dried. Lmao 🤣
@@daixer3156Man’s is manic in UA-cam comments 😂. Go to sleep bro.
@daixer3156 go smoke a joint and have a nap bud. You seem like you could use it
@@Ace_Jermaine why? What did I say? I can't. Too much soda in my diet keeps me up.
@Ace_Jermaine seems like I have an audience. That was the whole point and you just confirmed it. Being a troll gets paid these days. While you slave at work all day. And what do you have to show for it j-dawg? Nada! That's what. And nice try changing your quote but not quick enough for me not to read ese.
This is so much better than Brett's interview. Olivi is such a great interviewer
She is slowly turning into Bret
@@vedranmedic8695yeah but she’s still pretty so it doesn’t matter. They’re basically the same they’re both company guys
@@vedranmedic8695 how so? Brett always asks dumbass questions that they've already been answering for years lol
He can go a bit overboard at times, but man Sean is a likeable guy. Dedicated to his craft, loyal to his friends & family. Hope he gets it done Saturday.
"Loyal to his friends and family"
Lmao he has an "open relationship" with his wife (also got a kid together).
The dude also let Tekashi69 tattoo his initials onto him.
@@isthatsquidwhat does an open relationship have anything to do with him being loyal to friends and family?
@@isthatsquidmany successful men are in open relationships. He can do that and be a good father and husband. Just bc you don't understand it doesn't mean it's bad lol. Men can be with other women and still be a good father
and he DELIVERED!!!
we're doomed....@@TMeek94
If nobody comments on the set it won't happen again kids. Show the production crewthe respect they deserve and hold this W High for em🎉
i thought that was his bedroom
I thought it was evil but then I remembered that they hooked up with WWE and it's left over props from the Undertaker. If he had some Road Warriors shoulder pads then I would fall in love with him but since he's a douche. I simply cannot cuz he thinks he can buy his way in life. That's why so many people hate him. When's the last time he's helped the needy or even kids that need back to school back packs or even a square meal. This guy is a joke. Reminds me of Cartman when he get some money and starts swimming in it infront of the jew kid. That's the real reason why he as to tell everyone he's rich. You see Elon, Bill Gates, etc going and tell people that they are rich? No need to. Cuz the world knows. Nobody knows who this pink kid is. Only a few and that's why he gots to let everyone know. Sad but true!! Help those in Hawaii with the fires and lost houses. Now that's a real person who is not only rich in money but in deed and especially soul. Good luck carrying that Lambo into the next life ese.
@@daixer3156 i think you need a new hobby bud
Honestly the set looks like three different themes thrown together for just because
@vanc8288 agreed! This UFC is getting to violent for me. Everytime I post I just get more angrier than before. And then treat the last commentator like the dumb ass he is for some weird reason. That ain't right especially since we're not officially in the WWE to be giving such lines and set ups like a soap opera. What do you suggest? I don't want to pick up smoking weed as one of the hobbies. Too lazy and schizophrenic if you ask me and my other voices.
Suga getting more love from the ufc than Aljo has ever gotten and he's not even champ lol
From all of us lol
@@rawbolandspeak for yourself.
All is about who produces more money
@@rawboland...suga in your tank?
Here he is , the fan of aljos exciting fights 🤣
The fact that he told everyone he's almost 70 percent irish right before he goes to Boston is pure genius.
Can we claim him as a second Irish champion 😂
I mean his name is O'Malley... His dad looks like he could have been born in Ireland. People have been talking about Sean not being Irish. That just dumb, many Irish came to America.
@@H-Town_83 idk why I thought he was Mexican even though he has the Irish name. I can't wait to see Boston go crazy!!
O'malley is very very Irish name so obviously the kids Irish
@@wilderfiermaybe you thought that because he lives in Arizona right now but the kid is Irish as shit without the accent. Ian Garry tried to act like he's not. He also said he's carrying the card like a fool.
She is literally the best, 10/10
Olivi? She’s the UFC’s Karen.
What did she do that was so special?
@@thewalruswasjason101obviously cuz she hot
Yes she is she is actually pretty good at her job. She seems like a wonderful person too. And dont hurt that she’s sexy af 😂 her husband is one lucky dude cause im not gay but he doesn’t look that good to me.
@@MrRpres0088UFC’s Karen? What? Do you even listen to what Megan says? You must be new to the sport
Sean is a hustler. A lot of fighters can learn from his work ethic in and outside the cage.
by hustler you mean wannabe rap artist who cares more about how he looks than he does how he fights.
@@DeathmetalPersian Haters going to hate. This is chess, not checkers.
@RCalicchio1st yeah and Omalley hasn't touched a belt yet. This is chess. The color of your hair and the car you drive doesn't make you win at chess.
@@DeathmetalPersian😂😂😂
@@DeathmetalPersian He's a great fighter, don't be misled by his looks
They pushing Sean HARD
That's what your supposed to do...
@@Bmorefandoes your knees hurt?
All the nelk boy 69 Paul brother fans love Sean. He is their favorite fighter because he has a pink Lamborghini and tattoos on his face. And he knocks out cans that are gifted to him.
@@Bmorefan it's just blatantly obvious they have favorites
@@PotentSenzuDana shows favoritism towards all Irish fighters. If you're Black, you get thrown to the wolves. I'm dead ass, it's not even a joke.
Man I’m really impressed with everything Sean has been able to do. Under the lights and pressure this guy always comes out and performs. He’s done a lot better than people give him credit for. The Yan fight was extremely close and could’ve gone either way but he really showed he’s up there in levels with that fight. Really a great promoter also for his fights. Overall he’s got the star package, that being said…..Aljo in the distance via 🎒 😂
? You don't win just by sitting on someone's back for 5 rounds lol, he will have to at least use ground and pound and seek constant submissions to win against Sean. I am interested to see how much Sean's ground game has continued to improve also, in terms of getting back to his feet. We will see! I want Sean to win but I can easily see Aljo taking it too.
Same brutha
He clearly lost to yan prior was a a NC with oedro Munoz before that was pailva and before that was Kris moutinho a guy making his ufc debut on 2weeks notice. Sean hasn't earned sht really lol
@@youknow2849”he clearly lost to Yan” no doubt you were claiming he’d get “dominated” prior to the fight. Otherwise why so butt-hurt about a close fight that could’ve gone either way.
@@youknow2849copium
Aside from being absolutely gorgeous Meghan is easily the best female sports interviewer and one of the best period. Always great questions, good energy, does her research, and highlights the fighter well. Love the longer format interview. Great content
But her little husband is a strange looking dude. He had a decent fight career but he's a fly weight and like 5'3".
@@H-Town_835’3 on the outside but 6’2 on the inside. It counts
I would like to commend her how she doesn't use any plastic surgery at all. And looks amazing !! 🫰
Snap those fingers Meg, cuz you deserve it out of all women on TV. Flawless and not infidel like other women who just get a little attention. (I'm not implying anyone) MEG, do your Thang, do your thang!! Pop, lock, and drop it. Respectably of course!!
@Michael83racing
In this day and age. The woman is the one who brings the bread home and that's OK. I'm sure he has a nice warm meal waiting for her after a long day with sweaty egotistical men that buy Lambos to compensate for their...you know...hair line.
@@daixer3156bro what is wrong with you 😂
Love the way Megan interviews!
Asks then lets them speak until they are finished!
I can tell she takes mental notes of questions then asks when they are done
I dislike when interviewers cut them off with thoughts they blurt out or interrupt and completely turn what the answer would be…
Good job Megan!
You look beautiful too
Upopular opinion but sean has a completely normal personality and literally everyone is fooled into thinking otherwise cause of his tattoos and colored hair
facts
True
He is always super chill even when he’s getting cooked on the mic lol but throws down in the octagon
Anyone who has watched a bit of seans' fights already knows he absorbed a lot from Conor as many fighters have but O' Malley is special in his own way. A special dude. Good luck Champ
This was probably the best O’Malley interview I’ve ever heard.
They nailed his vibe with the set😂
i love how ufc is bleeping the word shit as if the company is not sponsored by gambling sites or alcohol brands, let alone displaying pure physical violence in the octagon.
It's not up to them what gets you demonetized on UA-cam
UA-cam has been going crazy recently
Solid interview, cool to see him grow as a person. I like that he will take small digs at guys but still gives credit where credit is due !
is he wearing lipstick?
Can’t wait for Suga to get a walk off KO in the second round! Mark my words
Bruh
@@SPEAKPLAIN uh huh lol
BRROOOOOO
Boom
@SugaSeanUFC see I predicted you bro too the round ! The real ones knew what was coming
They got him a throne 😭 I love it
Believe they filmed this at his place and these are his chairs which might be funnier lol
@@trel9388Megan literally says at the beginning of the video that they made the set for him lol
Why not?
I didn't plan on watching this whole interview but it was absolutely fantastic.... I never disliked him before or anything but I'm a fan now, I hope he gets the belt.
This was such a fun interview, some laughs, some truths and some personality❤
Love u Sean I seen your debut 2018 live in person always rocking with you 💙💙💙✌🏾🥹my boy gonna be champ damnnnn
Just an amazing interview. I got a lot more insight into Sean the man!
Soo gay man
@@charlesdobronxcharlesdobro4660 lmaoo
Does seem to being out his type out from the closet huh?
Even Amazing Desmond is cheering him on. And he's been doing that since his trans years of 4 years old. Said he say him on TUF and gave him inspiration to come out and be who he was in the inside. You know, special and colorful 🌈!!!
*bring out
*saw him on TUF
Great interview
Gosh I couldn’t get through 3 mins of the Brett interview, watched this whole thing with full attention.
Megan looking like a solid 9.5 as always

Power slap girl is way better
6 imo
@@OperationAlpha.👊🏼
Lol rating women on line 😅😅😅😅😅. Not getting them must be a sad life
What a great interview! And New!
This was soooo much better than the interview with Brett Okamoto. Literally almost fell asleep listening to his interview with Sean 😂😂😂
Whatever people want to say about Sean - nobody can deny that this dude is AUTHENTIC. Just behaves the way he really is.
Right dude. The guy seriously only promotes healthy behaviors and habits. Geniunely great guy. Him and Tim
AND he can fight, he turned Yan into a wrestler after half of the world said, that he wouldn’t last a round with Yan.
It’s so easy watching and listening to Sean talk. Really good interviewee! Can’t wait to see him get the belt, hopefully it’s sooner than later!
It's done, First round beautiful counter right hand. Night night aljamain sterling. Was beautiful Sean O'Malley 🏆🥇.
@@199compoundsecond
Ufc really treating bromalley like the people’s champ. God bless and good luck brother-may the best man win
love hearing about montana, such an amazing state. grew up in circle, mt. cant believe im only finding out suga came from home! and just as always Megan is fantastic.
Heard it was a hell hole?
I really hope Sean wins! He's even showing respect to Aljo and Aljo's acting like a lil brat HAHAHA
I love Sean and he has a great mind set, I think he kinda had doubts going into the petr fight and surprised himself. I think he has doubts this fight so he might under perform but still get the job. Wether he does or doesn’t if he was as confident as he acts, he’d for sure be champ. Hope he can pull it off this Saturday.
Awesome set up and backdrop!
Great interview and set
Sean was so honest with this one, love his personality man
Will be rad if Sean wins!!!
Rad, haha bring out the shrimp , we will throw it on the bbq. Hahaha rad wtf 😂😂😂 well no fucks intended. It's just not a UK thing but hey bro. Guess you Australian m8, good hey m8😮 haha respect to ya brother only 💯 banging
W interview. Aaaaaand new undisputed UFC bantamweight champion Suga Sean O'Malley
Surprised at the candor here. Great interview!
Dana gonna go full tomatoe head when Aljo wrecks this fool lol
First time I'll be rooting for him.
The ufc loves Sean 😂😂😂
I mean who is not?
Say what you want but Sean could fight. He turned Yan into a wrestler when yall said he wouldn’t get passed round 1.
@@iZombified I like Sean I didn’t even say anything bad about him and you can arguably say he lost ever round of that fight lmaoo
so do we who cares lmao
@@bloodstain369 wym who cares the ufc has favorites lmao but it’s fine right bud
Holy cow… talk about a smooth conversation. Good job by both parties.
There’s sexual tension between the two. Megan clearly into the suga
Let's go Sean 17-Omalley
Great interview. Sean comes across as a great guy and Megan Olivi is an excellent interviewer.
Ufc is doing a great job promoting O’Malley
Best interview in a while ! Wow props to Sean
I definitely think the UFC would like to see O'malley get the belt, not only is he very marketable but there would also be a built in story of a kid coming off of Dana White's contender series winning the belt...
Jahmal was the first person off DWCS to win the belt
@juzrhyme712 That's right but wasn't just the interm belt?
No, it was undisputed, after Jiri vacated the belt@@nickk7425
@@nickk7425no lol
I freaking love this guy.
Really good interview.
32:32 Sean having his Chael Sonnen moment
Ppl just don't realize how normal and cool of a guy he is. 🤷♂️
Top notch interview by Megan Olivi
Amazing interview! 🫡🔥
O'Malley is honestly refreshing to listen to. He's honest & openly says if I lose, win or lose. U never hear guys say that. He is 100% confident but acknowledges how great Aljo is & that he can lose.
"if i lose, win or lose". Totally. a quote for the ages
@@thatyoudliketoknow1628 i more meant them as separate statements. My b
if he wins, the UFC gonna make SO much money holy shit. Would be the most charismatic, and fan loved fighter to be champ since Conor tbh
Charismatic? Lol...
@@standardFifa yes he’s VERY charismatic. If you don’t think so you’re just a hater lmfao
is he a draw tho? this ppv numbers will be the test
Great interview.
Great Interview
Lol they did this for him, I thought it was a room in his gaff or summert 😂
“I still got the scar on my knee from Peter’s face, I’ll treasure that one for ever”
You know Sean is not the most interesting dude out there, he dresses dresses a little crazy but generally is calm chill dude, I do like him, but with quotes like these he really charms me
Nobody cares about your opinion of him.
@@user-mo2ci3fb9l and nobody cares for yours, what’s your point?
@@flammabletoast5820 Ah, the old Uno reverse card.
I'm not spouting grammatically riddled nonsense, just checking you.
@@user-mo2ci3fb9l get a life bro
@user-mo2ci3fb9l you must be so bitter in ur life lol. Never get why people act this way. You must have had people really hurt u.
Hope Mykkel is doing well. He reached out to me around the beginning of the new year as a person I could talk to from time to time and mentioned what he’d been through but sadly I did not have a cellphone. Enjoyed the interview! All the best!
Great fight Champ! And New!!
You can always tell who UFC wants to win in their Main Event during Fight Week. Saturday should be very interesting.
He has no chance unfortunately the guy gasses out real quick
He unapologetic for who he is, and he is as real as it gets. This is why people like him.
I absolutely LOVVVVE Megan Olivi my gawd
Very good interview ❤❤
Anyone who doesn’t want Suga to be champ this weekend are simply lying
@BloodyKnuckle and everyone knows he won’t unfortunately 😢
Hopefully if he wins Merab doesn’t spam takedowns 500 times
Rather him than aljo.
Love me some suga on my cereal 🥣
I want Aljo to win
Lets go Suga! Such a great matchup. Cant wait. RD 3 ko
Rd 3? And still Aljo haha
Going to be a good fight fo sure
this is what make sports great haha! @@stealingtomorrowband
Megan is such a likeable character... She is perfect in her role... True professional... You can tell she does her homework... Jo is a lucky man... and its funny how well they look together....
This interview after the FACTS sounds awesome! Kuddos
Sean was never good at any of these sports that he talks about having played growing up. He didn't even play competitively for the most part. I don't know why he constantly feels the need to lie about this.
Be a big win, or a big loss. Like to see Sean improve enough to win it !
either way seans style is sweet as suga
Sean O'Malley is the face of UFC, marketebility and talent right here.
olivi is an on point interviewer, never misses anything
Hell yea and she’s damn fine
Sean will become champ and people will cry. It will be a funny era
If he wins I promise you the very next fight will be him vs Sandhagen. But If sean wins and sells ppv's they're going to cherry pick him with other strikers for a few fights maybe 1-2 years 2-3 fights of strikers. To soak up them PPV sales. I really doubt they'd immediately put him against Merab or someone like that. Plus there's some pretty decent grapplers coming up the ranks right now so realistically even if sean wins he wont be champion for a super long time. That divisions fairly tough if you're a striker
@@UsaRubber i don't know man. I really believe his grappling is out there. He did jiu jitsu fight when he was suspended. He is training with really good graplers. Just look at how Yan outwrestled Aljo in the 1st fight. He outwrestled Aljo more than Sean. But people love to hate on him. Man I thought he is a joke too. But I listened to his old podcast. It was Episode 4 about anxiety and all this things and that really showed me he is a smart dude
@@MaximMasnica oh I know. People are underestimating seans take down defense just like theyre underestimating costa vs khamzat. Aljo is a bit tallerbthan yan though so it makes it different in that sense. Sean just need to defend take downs or not let aljo sit on his back all fight and he will be okay. And definitely not throw any high kicks like sandhagen. Tear up aljos legs bad.
You would think Sean was the champion going into this fight, I like sean alot but damm it sucks Aljo is getting no love at all leading up to this fight
Fans choose who ufc promotes.
Aljo No Love. I like it. Cody Garbrandt passes the torch.
Good strong person Sean love your mind set and fighting positive is a force or strength
beautiful set
Great interview! Megan Olivi is top notch!
Every MMA Fan Wants Suga To Be Champion
Never speak in absolutes.
Been waiting for this title shot for the suga show for a long time. Long time fan since the beginning. Real story my brother in law just happens to be from the same spot Helena. Told me about this cat sean. Contender series y’all know the rest. Huge mma fan mainly ufc, specifically waited to buy this pay per view over a few of the last bangers! Also happens to be the first day of my family vacation. So let’s start this vacation off with a championship win! Let’s go suga!!!! Oh and shout out Timbo!
Ts interview wassss 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Megan Olivi is a certified UFC Broadcast HOF.... She's in a complete class of her own
good lord
She’s the best interviewer in this video. Shes good no doubt.
A woman w power and $ w the constant attention is usually a tough wife. Idk her though.
O'Malley is one of the few guys I feel most ppl have completely wrong. Some his own doing w/the tats, hair but he's just a chilled, laid back dude who loves his friends, family & making money.
And tbf it's only idiots who have an issue with the tattoos or hair. Same kinda people that have an issue with people wanting to be trans lol.
Higher Human 💪🏽 Let’s go Sean!
Good luck, from, Scotland 🏴🇺🇸

Go outside man. If you've got enough time to think of nicknames for people you've never met, you need a hobby.
The fact we have been able to see Tim and Suga grow as men and fighters. Some of Suga's antics are from a different generation lol. You've got to respect the discipline.
Two goats, one interview
Megan is the goat of fighter interviews
Too much pressure on Suga he might just CHOKE
He doesn’t have any pressure on him lmao, he’s expected to lose and also has a stylistical disadvantage, he could lose and his star power will probably still go up
As long as sean doesn't get knocked out his star power will remain the same. I'm expecting him to be submitted in the 2nd or 3rd , cmon sugar knock his ass out quick or its gonna be a long fucking night lol@@kylewade8704
Even if he does, He will be back!
I think the pressure is on Aljo. Sean is not expected to win. Nobody I know even likes Aljo. I expect Aljo will try to hold him down and win by control time or submission.
I have been looking forward to hearing the word new bantamweight championship
Megan and laura are soo good at interviewing fighters
Its the Suga Shows time ! Been here since that contender series moment
