Petr Yan- Sean O'Malley
Sean O’Malley is a one-of-a-kind hilarious personality who knows how to throw hilarious one-liners, and so does his coach, MMA Lab’s Tim Welch. O’Malley is currently the #12 ranked UFC bantamweight who is going to make the most significant bump to his competition by now facing the #1 ranked UFC bantamweight and the former champion, Petr Yan at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi. Both O’Malley and Yan are coming off from disappointment from their last fight, but are now expected by the fans to put on a calculative yet reckless fist fest in the middle of the Octagon.
In an interview with The Schmo, Welch, the former MMA fighter primarily talks about O’Malley‘s preparation for UFC 280 and just how good is Yan as an opponent, and later on, shifts his focus to talking about realising the importance of recovery in the later part of his own MMA career. But whilst talking about O’Malley and Yan on if they’re ready to take on a huge challenge from O’Malley‘s side and get the next title shot, Welch hilariously calls both the fighters out with certain nicknames.
“If we beat Peener Yan [troll name for Petr Yan], undoubtedly, we deserve the title shot,” says Welch. “We’re gonna see the best Peener Yan there is. He is a f**king terminator, the last person he wants to lose to is the Pink Poodle [troll name for Sean O’Malley], so he is gonna go, ready to go, but we will be ready to go also,” he continued.
