There's lots that's dodgy about Osk, but mostly it stems from his sexual attraction to strength.

That means he's unduly concerned with the physical form of strength, like preferring melee ability to magical power even when the latter is decisively superior, or preferring muscular strength to other physical combat abilities.

He's also a bit of a voyeur, in all senses.

Obviously, he works for the Imperial Arena, which is a national organization. Thus he prioritizes "what will make for an exciting match" above all other considerations, with his own idea of what makes for an exciting match being slightly different from what the audience would like (the audience is described as being impressed by flashy AOE magic attacks, which Osk dislikes).

That said, his conditions fall well within Ainz's desires to learn from challenging combat and to demonstrate that he is not entirely dependent on magic for his superior ability. It is precisely seeing that Ainz cannot be killed even in a highly unfavorable melee combat matchup which convinces Jircniv to prioritize vassalization of the Empire over exploration of any of the (dwindling) alternatives.

Currently, it seems that Osk is maintaining close ties to the Sorcerer Kingdom as a recruitment vector for the SK Adventurer's Guild, as his personal bodyguard (Headhunter Rabbit) was noted as one of the demihumans spotted in E-Rantel.
