Sean O'Malley vs Petr Yan
The announcement of the Petr Yan vs Sean O’Malley fight has been a shocker for almost everyone in the world but not the Suga Show. The rising bantamweight believes he is one of the biggest names in the division and a matchup against Yan makes perfect sense to him.
The fighter also believes that the former champion won’t be his regular self during the fight against Sean. Sean O’Malley has never faced an opponent as high ranked as Petr Yan in his UFC career. The fighter has been entertaining in all of his fights but is yet to taste a real test inside the octagon.
His last fight against Pedro Munhoz was supposed to be his first real test but the fight came to an uneventful end. It seems like the Yan fight will finally give us the answers about O’Malley and his skills to face the top flight of the division.
“I will rise to the occasion”- Sean O’Malley is looking to cement his legacy with a win over Petr Yan
O’Malley has no doubt that he’s going to run through Yan, and he believes it’ll be enough to give him a title shot. Talking to reporters at the UFC London press conference, he said, “Obviously, I haven’t gotten to prove (I deserve a title shot.)”
He added, “That Pedro fight didn’t really end the way I wanted it to. But I think I proved I can hang with the top-10 guys. Jumping up to the No. 1 guy, this is a huge test and I believe I will rise to the occasion.”
Talking about the possibility of getting a title shot, he said, “One-hundred percent.” Even though Yan is coming off two losses against the champion, Aljamain Sterling, he’s still one of the most dangerous guys on the roster. Yan desperately wants to get back in the win column, and a win over O’Malley would put him right back in the title contention.
