WATCH: Sean O’Malley gets shoved by FURIOUS Petr Yan at UFC 280 press conference
Petr Yan and Sean O'Malley at the UFC 280 presser
Things got a little frisky between the bantamweight stars of UFC 280 as Sean O’Malley got pushed by his rival Petr Yan during the press conference face-offs.
UFC 280 pre-fight press conference just went down and it was everything that the fans expected. A fired-up Abu Dhabi crowd, fiery back-and-forths, brutal insults, and classic face-offs shove from Petr Yan towards Sean O’Malley at the end to make up for the perfect press conference. Yan and O’Malley have been going at each other for quite some time now and all the tensions added when they came face-to-face.
UFC 280 was already the most-anticipated pay-per-view of this year and the pre-fight press conference has added to the amazing hype. O’Malley and Petr Yan were going at each other from the get-go and the Russian let out his emotions during the face-off with a strong shove toward Sean “Suga” O’Malley.
In the absence of UFC boss, Dana White, Jon Anik, the legendary UFC broadcaster did the honors of acting as the mediator, which led to him sweating profusely trying to keep things under control between the heated rivals. There was not much that the UFC commentator could do as the former bantamweight champ shoved O’Malley away after an intense staredown.

Yan and O’Malley will face each other on the main card of UFC 280 at the Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi this weekend. On any other night, this matchup is worthy of being a separate headliner but the upcoming pay-per-view card is as stacked as they come. This fight will be a real test for the rising bantamweight as he goes up against a former champion.
