Sean O’Malley made his highly anticipated return to UFC 248 by defeating Jose Quinonez in round number 1. O’Malley looked like he hadn’t missed a beat with the series of kicks and relentless pressure ending Jose’s night.

The Sugar Show returns

Sean O’Malley is making his return after 2 years due to suspension caused due to a series of failed drug tests. The substances that were found were present in a tainted supplement he consumed. ‘’The Suga Show’’ was on a run creating a certain buzz in bantamweight but a broken foot and the PED scandal derailed his career. O’Malley looked like a seasoned veteran inside the octagon with his very first attack dropping Quinonez.

Sean started the fight with a push kick straight to the chest immediately establishing his reach. From that point onwards Jose was troubled with every single shot seemingly unable to defend against his speed and reach. A quick counter hook sent Quinonez to the cage before a head kick and a flurry of punches sealed the victory for O’Malley.
