While ‘Suga sean’ definitely has a funny bone in his body. He needs to be very careful about keeping his focus on the real job. The good streak of results will give him a lot of confidence, going into 2023. He, however, needs to realize that Petr Yan had almost pipped him. The smallest of the margins decided that fight, which is unlike Sean O’Malley.
