UFC 280: October 22nd Abu Dhabi Cards get HUGE as Suga Sean confirms Sean O’Malley vs Petr Yan
Sean O’Malley vs Petr Yan- O’Malley (15-1 1 NC), one of the sport’s most promising prospects, lost his fight with Pedro Munhoz at UFC 276 due to a medical stoppage brought on by an eye poke that was later diagnosed as a corneal abrasion. The 27-year-old UFC fighter is 7-1 with one NC and competes out of Glendale, Arizona.
His last win witnessed him win against Raulian Paiva at UFC 269. Malley dominated it via a knockout in the first round.
“I’m getting the fight that I wanted and the fight that the people want,” O’Malley told Clark. “In my eyes, Petr is the No. 1 contender right now. He’s pretty much 1-1 against Aljo… he could be considered the champion. … Going in there and stepping up against a guy like Petr is exciting, it’s motivating and it’s the biggest fight in the bantamweight division right now.”
Yan, 29, lost to Sterling in a rematch for the bantamweight championship at UFC 273 in April (16-3, 8-2 UFC). Since O’Malley hasn’t yet faced a striker of his caliber, his boxing will be a challenge for him because it ranks among the greatest in the sport.
