Demetrious Johnson has given a relevant insight into the UFC 316 -Vechtkamp of Sean O'Malley and criticizes his head coach Tim Welch.
Last Saturday at UFC 316 in Newark, New Jersey, Sean O'Malley was handed over his second loss in a row, again dominated by Merab Dvalishvili, who then secured the North-South Choke in round four to retain its title.
In anticipation of their rematch, fans of 'Suga' were convinced that this time the 30-year-old had made the adequate adjustments to beat the Georgian, especially because he gave up several vices during his Vechtkamp.
Despite that, 'the machine' again turned out to be too much too much for O'Malley, who was subsequently cluttered for his matte performance.

Demetrious Johnson critically about the O'Malley coach after helping in Vechtkamp
In an attempt to get a lead at the UFC 316 Main Event, the former UFC Bantamweight Champion set up during his Vechtkamp during his Vechtkamp.
Unfortunately for O'Malley his work with one of the greatest of all time not and Johnson gave his response to the loss of O'Malley.
Now, however, only a few days away from the blockbuster event, Demetrious Johnson has been opened about his training sessions with O'Malley and he has been somewhat critical of his head coach, Tim Welch.
“At the end of the first round you saw the camera turning, a bit like chaotic as if something was wrong, and you see that Merab had exactly the same choke with which he had finished Sean at the end of the first round,” Johnson began to explain in a video on his YouTube channel.
“I thought,” He's going to choke that f -. ” Merab is just so good about overwhelming people that they don't train to be overwhelmed.
“When I was in the camp of Sean and I hit Pads with Tim, he says,” You are constantly overwhelming, “and I had something like:” Yes, because this is realistic in a fight, I don't sit back and pop pop, it's not realistic. “
“I would assume that when they train for Merab, I thought:” We need people to be over you for 25 minutes. “I don't think Sean took time or he had time to develop those skills,” Johnson went on.
O'Malley reveals a timeline for his potential return
Although he is still generally considered one of the biggest stars of the sport, 'Suga' will undoubtedly have to pick up a few wins before he is again considered for a title shot.
And with that, the former UFC Bantamweight Champion expects to return to action at the end of the year and emphasizes December as a likely return date.
