The bantamweight fighter Sean O’Malley lived up to the hype at one of the biggest and last pay-per-view of the year. He took on the Brazilian Raulian Paiva on the main card at UFC 269.

‘Suga’ put up an impressive performance and secured a stunning knockout win over his opponent. He landed a brutal combination at the last minute of the round and forced the referee to jump in and stop the fight.

However, O’Malley was upset with Daniel Cormier, who was in the commentary box at the event. During the fight, the latter hinted that ‘Suga’ might be tired, as he was looking at the clock in the first round.

These comments from the former double champion of UFC didn’t sit well with the Montana native. He was clearly upset about it and bashed DC in the post-fight interview.

‘Suga’s said, “I wanna thank myself for looking at the clock and seeing how much time was left. Because some people, Daniel Cormier, were like, ‘Oh my god! He’s looking at the clock!’ It’s like what are you talking about, dude.”

“Yeah, I am going to look at the clock. If I don’t look at the clock, I don’t know how much time I have left. I land a big shot and I look at the clock. I need to know if I need to empty my tank to take out this guy out.”

“Or should I wait and have the rest of the fight save my energy? It bugged me. He kept bringing that up. Oh, he looked at the clock! That dude is a double champ. What’s your IQ? Your fight IQ, Amateur. Don’t say stupid sh*t.”

What Lies Next for Sean O’Malley

‘Suga’ is a product of the Dana White Contender series. However, the Montana native gained popularity among the fans for his unique persona and stunning performances inside the UFC cage.

Most of his UFC wins have come via a first-round knockout. Furthermore, O’Malley is on an impressive three-fight undefeated streak. However, he is yet to be ranked in the top-15 of the UFC bantamweight division.
