UFC’s bantamweight division has become a murder’s row of beastly fighters. The top 10 of the division is filled with star-studded names like Petr Yan, TJ Dillashaw, Aljamain Sterling, Rob Font, Jose Aldo, and so on. It is undoubtedly one of the most exciting divisions of the promotion that routinely puts on amazing performances.
Apart from all these fighters, Sean O’Malley is also someone who is making his name in the division. And O’Malley, believes some of these UFC stars are ducking him.
He believes that former bantamweight champion Dominick ‘the dominator’ Cruz is most likely ducking him. In his recent interview with ESPN MMA’s Brett Okamoto, Sean shared his thoughts about the Cruz vs Pedro Munhoz fight. He stated that the former champion took the fight against Munhoz instead of facing him.
