Sean
O’Malley wants to renegotiate with the
UFC before his current contract expires.
O’Malley (19-3) recently revealed that he has only two fights left
on his current UFC contract. According to “Suga,” the UFC doesn’t
like fighters to exhaust their contracts as it opens the door for
offers from competitors. However, O’Malley can’t imagine any other
promotion that he would rather be in. Hence, O’Malley is looking
forward to renegotiating with the UFC when he travels to Las Vegas
next month. The former UFC bantamweight champion is expecting a
bigger contract, especially since he is coming off a win.

“I have two fights left on my deal, so ideally I’ll probably go
renegotiate,” O’Malley said on YouTube. “The UFC really doesn’t
like people fighting their contract out. Because that’s when you
can start getting offers from other people. It’s like – where the
f—k else you want to go? Typically, they don’t want you to fight
your contract out. So I’m assuming, next time I go to Vegas in
March, I’m gonna renegotiate my contract. Technically, it should be
bigger than the last contract anyway, especially because I’m coming
off a win.”
O’Malley won the bantamweight title against Aljamain
Sterling in 2023 and defended it once before losing it to
Merab
Dvalishvili the next year. O’Malley failed to reclaim his title
against Dvalishvili in their rematch last year. “Suga” recently
returned to winning ways with a unanimous decision victory over
Yadong
Song at UFC 324
last month.
