Sean O’Malley‘s title-clinching knockout against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292 has left a sugary taste in every UFC fan’s mouth. Prior to his fight, many doubted the hype surrounding O’Malley. Nevertheless, “Suga” proved everyone wrong with his power-packed performance. Many professional fighters emerged as new “Suga” fans after the UFC 292 performance. However, Sean O’Malley managed to capture the attention of one Jon “Bones” Jones.

Jones, via Overdogs Podcast, said,” O’Malley is looking like the total package. I’m gonna be tuning into his PPVs for the next few years.” The fact that a fighter like Jon Jones was impressed by O’Malley shows the credibility of the new bantamweight champion. O’Malley’s crisp striking and knockout power make him a legitimate threat in the bantamweight division.

Jones has always shown his appreciation towards the best fighters in the game. His vast love for the sport is an essential factor in the 36-year-old’s success. His recent return in the octagon against fellow heavyweight Ciryl Gane lasted only two minutes as Jones submitted Gane via a guillotine choke. The heavyweight champion will defend his title against another legend, Stipe Miocic, at UFC 295. The fans have waited for a long time to see their favorite fighter compete in the octagon. The fight against Miocic will be a huge challenge for Jones as both fighters plan on cementing their name in heavyweight history.
