Media Chito accuses O’Malley of greasing

[GrantB13]

Greasing prevents grappling and getting a hold of one's opponent, so it will advantage a pure striker versus a grappler or a rounded opponent.

Marlon Chito Vera is 23-9 with 8 KO, 10 submission, 5 decisions.

By contrast, O'Malley is 18-1 with 12 KO, 1 submission and 5 decision.

So if Chito greased it would basically mean nothing, but if O'Malley greased, he would inhibit somewhat the grappling ability of his opponent Marlon Chito Vera who has the majority of his wins via submission. Although it may not be apparent at first glance, greasing can have quite an effect on striking in an MMA fight.

That's more of a byproduct or indirect consequence. It doesn't make striking more dangerous, it makes grappling less effective. Plus, Vera had to have actually tried to grapple but he maybe went for one attempt? I don't even remember it happening but I feel like there was one half assed shot.

Chito got beat up fair and square. It wasn’t a blow out like Sean said though. At times Chito got rough in there and when he made it a brawl Sean took some blows. His face alone frames the fight

It was the definition of a blowout. Chito's face is completely mutilated and he likely has multiple facial fractures.

Sean beat him like a pinata for the entire 5 rounds with near complete impunity.

Great that he was so kind and considerate, because he sure as hell assblasted him

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Its exactly why Chito couldn’t hit Sean flush, all that grease

 

[donkeyjr]

stop making excuses..

 

[SkinnyClaw]

Zero takedown or clinch attempts, but complaining about grease

[Black0ut]

Fights like a complete pile of shit, then accuses of greasing….

Stay golden Chito

<45> <45><45>

 

[2009lurker]

Even if he did grease, Chito barely made an attempt to grapple with him. So there is no point even complaining.

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

Never liked Chito. Guy is another Masvidal/Diaz where they talk a ton of trash, take a huge beating, never get humbled and keep talking trash. Never understood how any of them have such big fan bases.

 

[Dogpound2020]

There are actually people hired/approved of by the UFC that do the braiding of their hair so…ridiculous statement regardless.

 

[DrRodentia]

Explains why Sean so easily got out of all those grappling exchanges.

 

[jnes]

I never got why people liked Chito, terrible on the mic and not interesting in general, barely throws anything for the first 2 rounds, doesn't evolve his game.

 

[Cooliox]

Gotta prove such an accusation, otherwise you just make yourself look bad

 

[Wetarmpits]

What a sad and bitter looser. He punched your mug for five rounds and danced circles in his pink panties.

 

[r-harper-1]

Chito coping the best he can ….he’s a proud man

 

[ocfightfan]

Sour grapes by chito. Get better dude.

 

[Thawing Mammoth]

Why would he grease? He's a striker
Case dismissed

 

[empsim]

He barely managed to touch him in 25 minutes, what would it even matter...
