Sean O’Malley takes to Instagram to share his version of the bantamweight division’s rankings.

Sean O’Malley is fresh off an incredible knockout victory over Eddie Wineland. This victory of his at UFC 250 even won him an additional prize of $50,000 in bonuses. He was awarded the “Performance of the Night” for his first-round knockout.

O’Malley hasn’t yet faced a defeat so far and doesn’t intend to, as well. He expressed the desire to compete for the 135lbs belt and reign supreme as the champion in the times to come. But he already seems to have claimed the title. How so?

Humbled

A post shared by Sugar Sean O'Malley (@sugaseanmma) on

Sean O’Malley shared on Instagram his version of the bantamweight divisional rankings. He placed himself in the topmost position as champion and right after followed Marlon Moraes in the number 1 position. And to add to this, he even captioned the post “Humbled”!

Sean O’Malley has expressed his interest in fighting Marlon Vera next. The two were originally scheduled to meet inside the Octagon at UFC 239, but that fight never went through. O’Malley was forced off the card because trace amounts of Ostarine found in his system.

Vera went on to take on Nohelin Hernandez on that card and won the fight via submission in the second round. And now, Sean O’Malley wants his fight, which is long overdue.
