Cody Garbrandt and out Sean O'Malley

Cody Garbrandt is tired of all the trash-talking with Sean O’Malley and wants to settle things inside the octagon.

UFC’s former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt might be running out of top-level matchups but “No Love” still believes he has a fight against bantamweight fan-favorite Sean O’Malley. The two fighters have been going back and forth for quite some time and even got physical the last time they met on the stage of UFC 269.

Garbrandt believes a fight against the Suga Show makes a lot of sense for his next outing. “There’s a lot of good matchups. Sean O’Malley, I really want to whoop his ass. That’s a fight that’s looming and hopefully could be my next one. I want that fight so I’d like to stay at 35 [bantamweight],” said Cody in the recent episode of his podcast, “Rollin with the Homies”.

Garbrandt is coming off a devastating loss against Kai Kara France at UFC 269. Cody made his flyweight debut and lost the fight via first-round KO which made the fighter 1-5 in his last six fights. Despite moving down a weightclass, the former 135-pound champion believes he can excel at both divisions.

The rising bantamweight has been proving himself time and time again inside the octagon and is one of the fan-favorites to watch fight. The fighter is coming off a three-fight winning streak that includes a knockout against Raulian Paiva in his last outing at UFC 269. The fighter finished his opponent at the end of round one to get himself ranked.

Despite all the bad blood between Cody Garbrandt and Sean O’Malley, the former bantamweight champion praises Suga’s performance against Paiva at the T-Mobile Arena in December 2021. “You got to respect his skills he leveled up a little bit with Raulian, caught him early one but we know that. The only way he was gonna win was catching him early on and he did that. He did his job, hats off to him,” said Cody.

“He’s now ranked so I have to go to 35 and whoop his ass. But we will decide and we’ll figure it out,” said Cody in his podcast. Would you like to see “No Love” take on the “Suga Show” in 2022?
