Fans of Sean O’Malley were excited to see him fight at UFC 276. However, his bout with Pedro Munhoz didn’t go as expected. The fight was concluded as a no-contest after O’Malley accidentally poked his opponent’s eye.

Many people were of the opinion that the eye-poke wasn’t that bad. Sean O’Malley appeared on the Full Send Podcast and explained what happened at that moment.

‘Sugar’ said, “I just watched it once. I hit him with a right hand, right before I hit him with the n*t kick. I hit him with the right-hand right when I hit him with his right hand. He started, kind of like, doing something with his eye. So I think that right-hand kind of hurt him … he was like wiping his eye after I hit him clean. Just like a clean shot.”

“Then I threw the teep, landed on his like, right above the beltline and he like said it hurt his n*ts, but he started like going on his eye and it wasn’t from a poke. It was from a punch. I think just broke him mentally. He did not want to be there with me.”

“He landed zero shots to the head. Zero shots to the body. They claimed he landed like 26 leg kicks … I checked those. If you threw a leg kick at me and I checked it, it would f**k you up.”

Thus, the fighter went on to question the judge’s way of understanding the fight.

Sean O’Malley says Pedro Munhoz faked the injury

Further in the discussion, O’Malley said that Munhoz made a video about the injury on Instagram where he was closing the wrong eye. This shocked the podcasters.

The fighter thus showed the podcasters a picture of Pedro Munhoz reportedly closing the wrong eye. So he thinks his opponent “looked for a way out”.

‘Sugar’ compared the eye-poke to the accidental eye-poke Jared Cannonier got at UFC 276. However, The Killa Gorilla went through with the fight. Sean O’Malley thus didn’t like how Munhoz went to the doctor.
