Sean O’Malley took on his podcast with his brother Daniel O’Malley where they come on a weekly basis to discuss various things in trending and things associated with combat sports. O’Malley then updated his fans about his thumb injury and his fight schedule for 2022.

I can’t fight March 5, it’s too soon, O’Malley said on his official podcast. “And I don’t think they’re having a Vegas card in April, in May. I might not fight for a while. If I don’t fight until June or July, it just gives me time to get better and improve. I haven’t been able to train since my fight. I’ve had a f**king fractured thumb since my fight. I haven’t been able to train, so I haven’t been able to improve since the fight until now. I get my cast off soon. That’ll give me a couple of months to improve.” [h/t MMA Fighting]

“I’m not too worried about it, ideally I get three fights in a year, that’s kind of where my head is at,” O’Malley continued. “I don’t know if it’s more money or if it’s … I think it’s competition, I love competing. But I just want to get back in the gym and improve. So if I only fight two … if I get one in July and November or December, I might only get two this year. Fight out the contract, and then boom, into 2023 with a fat f**king contract and just go on a killing spree.
