Sean O'Malley
It's the perfect time for a rematch. I'm going to smoke this dude. I'm going to take this dude apart. That was so lucky. He's genuinely scared of me. I know you're watching 'Chito,' you know I'm way too fast for you. I'm going to piece him up.
O'Malley, 29, last fought against Aljamain Sterling in August 2023 at UFC 292. In this confrontation, Sean won by technical knockout in the second round. He has 17 wins and one loss on his record.
