UFC fighters are some of the strongest people on the planet. Hence, taking a body shot from them wouldn’t be a good idea. However, the brother of UFC bantamweight prospect Sean O’Malley didn’t get the memo. Daniel O’Malley braved himself for this spectacular feat and suffered the consequences.
In a video uploaded on O’Malley’s YouTube channel, Daniel was talking about people who took body shots from fighters with some protective gear. He posed the idea that he could take a shot from O’Malley as they looked like they didn’t hurt much. “I was watching those videos where people take those body shots. I think I could take one from you,” he said.

Sean O’Malley’s response was pensive at best, and he believed his brother could handle it. “I think you could take one. I really do,” he said. O’Malley also added that they had the equipment in their garage. The video then cut to them being in the octagon in their garage, and his brother was wearing protective gear.
“Soldier Daniel is gonna take a right hand,” Sean joked. He then got some help from his brother in wearing the boxing glove. After a few load-ups, O’Malley punched his brother really hard, and Daniel was seen wincing on the floor.
“Oh my god, that actually hurts so bad. I’m good, but holy crap, that hurt. That knocked the wind out of me,” the man replied while lying down on the floor. Their mom was watching nearby and was gravely concerned for his health, but he was alright in the end.
