UFC fans never let go of anything easy that they feel was unjust. That’s one strong trait they hold, and absolutely no one gets away with it. And it was Sean O’Malley this time who got caught under the bus for revisiting his controversial victory over Petr Yan and explaining how he won. Wherein the popular belief today stands at the notion that the Russian got snubbed in that matchup. But what’s done is done. However, the UFC community isn’t much of a ‘forgive and forget’ bunch.

Hence, this breakdown post from ‘Sugar’ invited some severe bashing and mockery of him. However, this isn’t something O’Malley didn’t expect, given that he feels he truly won, and in his statement on the decision, he did put out that the people are just hating on him because they wanted to see him ‘get whooped’.

Fans dismiss every word put out by Sean O’Malley

In his Instagram post, the Helena native offered a breakdown of a particular instance of his fight against Petr Yan at UFC 280 and explained how he managed to hold grounds against the Russian and eventually got the ‘job done’. However, fans aren’t having it.

Even though this display seemed impressive, the 28-year-old eventually drew some scathing criticism for it.
