Sean O’Malley is one of the brightest bantamweight prospects of UFC. He has garnered a lot of fame from the fight fans since his debut in the promotion.

‘Suga’ is a product of the Dana White Contender Series. However, he quickly rose to fame by bagging back-to-back wins in the bantamweight division. Every time ‘Suga’ enters the UFC cage, he leaves the fans entertained by his stunning performances.

UFC has recently included O’Malley in the top-15 of the bantamweight division after his first-round victory at UFC 269. The 27-year-old has still more to achieve in the sport. However, he recently opened up about how he would feel competing for the last time inside the UFC cage.

While talking to Michael Bisping on his podcast, ‘Suga’ talked about his retirement plans. He said, “Yeah, I think for me when it’s all said done and I gonna compete for the last time, it’s gonna be tough.”

“Or at least compete in the octagon. I am sure I’ll find ways, you know. I’ll probably compete in Ju-Jitsu, you know until I am way older. But competing in the octagon for the last time will be very tough.”

“You know, I wanna do it as long as I can. So you know, I am saying I’m thinking I can push it 35, 36, 37 around there. Super fights like you know, you versus Silva, and big fights like that. I think I wanna build my profile that high to where I can do those big crazy fights, you know.”
