A decision win will be like a loss for Sean
O’Malley in his upcoming fight.
O’Malley is scheduled to fight Aiemann
Zahabi (14-2) at
UFC White House on June 14 at the White House. “Suga” vows to
look for a finish like there is no other option. The former UFC
bantamweight champion is ready to give up his spot in the rankings
if he goes the distance against Zahabi.
‘Take Me Out of the Rankings’
“I got to have a f—-ng beautiful KO,” O’Malley said on YouTube. “It’s just like there is no other
option. Winning a decision is a loss. If I win a decision, take me
out of the rankings. I need a f——ing finish here.”
O’Malley (19-3) has finished six of his 11
UFC wins so far. While he is known for being a sniper on the
feet, O’Malley’s last stoppage win was in 2023, when he knocked out
Aljamain
Sterling to win the bantamweight title. O’Malley defended his
title just once against Marlon Vera
before falling to Merab
Dvalishvili in 2024. O’Malley failed to reclaim the title in a
rematch against Dvalishvili last year.. O’Malley rebounded from
back-to-back losses against Dvalishvili with a decision win over
Yadong
Song at UFC 324
this past January.
