This PPV is going to be an absolute banger, and with two bantamweight bouts on the card, the trash between these 4 athletes is going to be something else. O’Malley talked about UFC 280 on his YouTube channel, and he roasted the champion, Sterling with as many style points as possible.

He said, “I think this is going to be the first time Aljo gets pay-per-view points because he’s defending his belt, which is absolutely f***ng (crazy.) He owes me like 50 percent of those. The UFC basically said when they announced my fight, they’ve seen the interaction and engagement of social and everything, the thing just went boom.”

O’Malley added, “My fight is the most hyped fight on that card. I’m not taking anything away from Charles vs. Islam, that’s going to be a sick fight, but me vs. Petr? It’s just such an interesting fight.”

Talking about his fight against Petr, he said, “I came out of that fight telling the UFC I want to fight and they were like, ‘Alright, Petr’s the only one.’ Petr said if you win, call me out and we’ll make it happen. Petr wanted it, I wanted it, the UFC’s not going to not make that f****ng fight.” That fight’s happening. I go out there and faceplant Petr in Abu Dhabi, I’m a superstar. That’s what it is.”
