Sean O'Malley-Cody Garbrandt
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 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 weight class, the former 135-pound champion believes he can excel at both divisions.
Garbrandt believes a fight against the Suga Show makes a lot of sense for his next outing. “There’s a lot of good matchups. 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,” said Cody in the recent episode of his podcast, “Rollin with the Homies.”
“You wonder if that’s CTE“- Sean O’Malley laughs at Cody Garbrandt’s call-out
O’Malley reacted to his call-out and he laughs at Cody for even mentioning his name. In his recent YouTube video, he said, “Dude, Cody’s not getting that fight. When he said it, you could see in his voice. He’s like, ‘Oh, I want.’ But that fight’s not happening. … It doesn’t make sense for him to say that. You wonder if that’s CTE. He’s been knocked out five times in the last two years. That fight’s not happening – at least not next. It just doesn’t make sense, dude. It literally just doesn’t make sense.”
This would be the biggest fight of O’Malley’s career, and he understands a win over a former champ would catapult his career to new heights. We all know he is a prize fighter, and he thinks the risk is way too big for this one, “I go out there and knock out Cody, it’s like he’s 1-8. I lose to Cody, I lose to someone who’s looked at as kind of who sucks now,” O’Malley concluded.
