Pretty much everyone watching the fight, bar Soukhamthath's loved ones, scored the fight in favour of 23-year-old O'Malley. His work in the first two rounds meant that his adversary required a finish to get his hand raised. The finish probably would have come had Soukhamthath remained on his feet, but his baffling tactics meant he lost the unanimous decision.
Diaz, who would be the first to hold his hand up and say the current scoring system in MMA is motherfuckin' bullshit, didn't agree with the judges' decision.

Then, radio silence. That was the only UFC 222-related tweet Diaz sent during the event.
O'Malley took the criticism in his stride though. As he explained on Monday's MMA Hour, he got a lot of enjoyment out of the weird situation.
"I just pictured Nate sitting behind his phone pissed off tweeting that at me. It's funny. I don't see where the hate comes from. It's all good. I couldn't care less one way or the other."https://twitter.com/SugaSeanMMA/status/970172828858204161 All's well that end's well.
