Sean O’Malley doesn’t consider UFC White House goes to be the most important second of his profession.
This summer season, the UFC hosts an occasion on the White House garden as half of the America 250 celebration. Seemingly each fighter on the UFC roster lobbied for a spot at this one-in-a-lifetime occasion, and O’Malley was one of the fortunate few chosen to take part, taking up Aiemann Zahabi in a single of the featured bouts of the night. But for a person who spent most of the previous two years preventing for titles, a spot outdoors of the principle occasion looks like a step again.
“I went from the f*cking main event, to the co-main event, now I’m on the third fight,” O’Malley joked on his YouTube channel. “I’m winning. I won my last fight. I’m fighting down the rankings. I’m just downhill spiraling right now.”
While O’Malley might have been tongue-in-cheek about his drop down the cardboard order, there is likely to be a kernel of reality in there, as effectively. Given the grandeur of UFC White House, many would possibly count on O’Malley’s upcoming battle to be the spotlight of his profession.
However, “Suga” was trustworthy about that not being the case, saying his title fights with Aljamain Sterling and Marlon Vera felt greater.
“I feel like the Aljo fight felt so big, the Chito fight felt so big,” O’Malley mentioned. “The moment, being the main event, fighting for the title — this is a huge fight. I’m fighting — it feels like a big fight. I mean, it’s the f*cking White House. There’s only six fights on the card. It’s such a big deal.
“It feels like a big fight, but the moment, I guess, doesn’t seem as big as a title fight, you know what I’m saying?”
