What exactly did Sean O’Malley say about Sean Strickland?
Sean released episode 44 of his podcast discussing, UFC 269 Predictions and Tyron-Jake’s rematch. In which he touched on the topic of his future fight. Consequently, he claimed he couldn’t get on the Sean Strickland fight card.
O’Malley revealed, “Oh, I can’t get Sean Strickland’s card. I’m afraid he will fucking kill me. Actually, I might not want to be with that guy. He’s kind of fucking like freaks and psychopaths. It’s like if he had a chance to kill, he might do it. So it’s as if I don’t even want to fight on that bastard’s card. He’ll say:’There can be no two Xiaos on this card. kindness’”
O’Malley is currently riding a two-win streak. If he manages to get a victory against Paiva, he might claim the bantamweight division pretty fast.
