It drives me crazy - Sean O Malley explains his issue with Joe Rogan and Daniel Cormier s commentary to DC

(L to R) Sean O'Malley, Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan Sean O'Malley has a problem with Daniel Cormier and Joe Rogan's commentary during his fights. Having watched his own bouts multiple times, O'Malley noted that 'DC' and Rogan constantly emphasize his opponents using leg kicks on 'Sugar'. Cormier and Rogan recommend the leg kick as a weapon of choice against O'Malley as Marlon Vera had seemingly found success with it. However, 'Sugar' is driven crazy by this as he believes his own leg kicks were far better than 'Chito's'. The 27-year-old also claimed that the leg injury loss was the result of a damaged nerve caused by Vera's big toe rather than a well-directed leg kick. O'Malley recently said on the DC&RC show: "I have watched my fights back over and over again and every time I hear you and Joe say something, they say, 'I don't know why they don't kick his legs like Chito Vera did. It was very effective for him'. Oh god, it drives me crazy 'DC'. That drives me crazy. Because the leg kick he landed wasn't a good quality leg kick. My leg kicks I was landing on him were making him spin around in circles. His big toe hit the nerve when I was pulling out from a kick." Watch O'Malley's appearance on the DC&RC show below:
