Sean O’Malley is one of the most popular fighters on the UFC roster. The bantamweight, who crashed onto the promotion after winning a contract on Dana White’s Contender Series, hasn’t looked back ever since.

The Irish-American fighter runs his own podcast on YouTube and discusses his life at the UFC and other observations rather frankly. He did so once again and shared his two cents on the Francis Ngannou and Dana White beef. However, his perspective might be the total opposite of the popular opinion.

On the 50th episode of The Suga Show, ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley put forth his opinion on the whole scene. The bantamweight fighter said-

“I think, dude, if you’re going to go out there and just talk sh*t about the boss and the company, you can’t just expect no backlash, right? It makes sense that Dana is running a business, and his heavyweight champion, the one that’s the main f***king champ, the baddest dude on planet earth, is just every interview he gets, talking sh*t.”

“And I don’t want to say talking sh*t in a bad way. I guess he is just talking facts. But it is talking sh*t, and you can’t do that to the UFC. You can’t do that to Dana, you can’t do that to your boss. You can, but now Ngannou is not in a great position.”

“Imagine he’s the heavyweight champion of the world, him and Dana have a great relationship. I bet there’s leeway there to make some negotiations, but now it’s not happening,” O’Malley continued.
