Sean O’Malley earned Ryan Garcia’s appraisal after knocking out Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight (135 lbs) title at the main event of UFC 292.
Akin to several fighters and fans all across the world, Ryan Garcia took to social media and expressed his excitement for O’Malley’s UFC title victory over ‘Funkmaster’.
He wrote, “SUGA SEAN TOO LIT.”
However, Ryan Garcia doesn’t seem to like Sean O’Malley’s desire to compete n a pro-boxing clash against Gervonta Davis. Garcia, who suffered his main career defeat against Davis, warned Sean O’Malley of getting knocked out in a potential boxing fight.
‘KingRY’ wrote, “SUGA Sean you are good and all. But stop talking about this I’m going to box stuff. You will just get knocked out.”
29-0 as a professional, Gervonta Davis is a multi-weight world champion with 27 KOs under his belt. He and Sean O’Malley are both 28 years gold and have earned legitimate fanbases.
It will be interesting to fantasize about a fight between the two. Despite that, Sean O’Malley looks likely to go through several tests in the UFC before planning a boxing crossover.
The 135 lbs division is one of the most stacked rosters in the UFC. Hence, Sean O’Malley isn’t running out of fresh challenges anytime soon. But several UFC fighters have gone into the boxing world over the years and ‘Sugar’ O’Malley can do the same in the future.
