Sean O’Malley sat down to discuss all things UFC. He discussed UFC 249, its current uncertainty and also talks about Henry Cejudo and a possible fight with him.

Henry Cejudo recently went out and called Dominick Cruz out. He did this in order to make sure he still has the main event at UFC 250. Khabib is stuck in Russia. He is most probably not going to be able to make it to UFC 249. Henry Cejudo called out Cruiz just in case the same happens with Jose Aldo. Aldo might be stuck in Brazil, keeping in mind all the travel bans in place.

Dominick Cruiz last contended in December of 2016. Domnick Cruz still might get a title shot despite his long term absence. In the interview, O’Malley and Ariel Helwani discussed all the other possible bantamweight fighters that might suit Cejudo. In the middle of this Ariel also tossed in O’Malley’s name.

Sean O’Malley on possibly Fighting Henry Cejudo

O’Malley reacted as we expected. He said, “I’d step up. But I don’t think he’d want that. I know it sounds silly, I have only 3 fights in the UFC. I’m not even ranked or nothing. This is not a good matchup.” He also joked about Cejudo’s height and said, “ I’m 5’11 and he 5’2.” He’s of the idea that Cejudo wouldn’t agree to fight him just because of the matchup.

Sean O’Malley justifying his answer said, “ I know I have only fought 3 times in the UFC. I haven’t fought anyone that’s necessarily great. I believe in my skills. I have really good high-level skills. But it would obviously be a stupid fight for him.”

Though O’Malley says he’s full of himself, he also seems to have a grip on reality. He knows where he currently stands and what chances he holds. He in no way doubts himself but is aware of the division rankings and all the people that could come before him.

Backing himself he said, “I train because it makes me extremely confident that I can go out there and beat anyone in the division. But realistically, who deserves a shot? Yeah, Aldo or Cory. Those would be good fights.”

So all in all, O’Malley will step up if required. He is a young, up and coming fighter with huge prospects fo him in the future.
