Sean O’Malley recently posted a throwback video of an old fight. He was seen facing Alfred Khashakyan as a part of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series back in 2017. O’Malley rocked his opponent several times before winning the bout through a knockout. However, it was Dana White and Snoop Dogg’s reaction that caught everyone’s attention.

Snoop Dogg also hyped him by saying “Hey, Lil Dicky in the house” upon his entry.
Once the fighter knocked down his opponent, Dogg and White were amazed.
Later in the video, ‘Sugar’ was seen smoking along with the ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ singer.

Post this exciting win, fans saw the American fighter on ‘The Ultimate Fighter 26’ finale, which he won via a unanimous decision. He seemed unstoppable in the UFC until his loss against Marlon Vera.
However, O’Malley does not agree with how that fight went and considers himself undefeated. The fighter proved himself by winning three back-to-back fights through T/KO. In fact, he has won a whopping 11 professional MMA fights through T/KO.

Further, his latest fight with Pedro Munhoz at UFC 276 didn’t go as desired. Because of an unintentional eye-poke by the 27-year-old, Munhoz wasn’t able to continue fighting, and the bout ended with a no contest.
What’s ahead for Sean O’Malley?
While the UFC 276 bout was a disappointment for fans, the athlete already has an upcoming bout. As revealed by him, he will face the Russian Petr Yan at UFC 280.
Both the fighters have gone back and forth previously. And while the matchup came as a surprise for many, people are excited to witness this one. Several people are concerned for O’Malley as Yan is the number one fighter in the division.
