UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley put on an impressive performance at UFC 292 and wants to prove himself outside the UFC too. O’Malley has always been ambitious and is ready to face new challenges. His willingness to be the best is the reason for his victorious career. During the post-fight press conference ‘Suga” expressed his wish to fight lightweight boxing champion Gervonta Davis.

O’Malley felt confident in his ability and believes that he can knock out Davis and wanted to prove the fans wrong. When asked about his future plans he said, “I also wouldn’t mind knocking out Gervonta Davis. I know people are gonna be like Oh I wanna be Conor(McGregor). I’m telling you that fight is going to happen”. He has always been the underground and has clapped back at fans for not believing in him.

O’Malley knows that he will be compared to Conor McGregor who fought Floyd Mayweather in a super fight in 2018. O’Malley has been compared to McGregor multiple times in the past with his knockout over Sterling being similar to McGregor’s knockout over Jose Aldo. He also has Irish roots from his grandmother. O’Malley has also done the “billy strut” multiple times which is a trademark of the Irishman.
