Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Sean O’Malley is within the midst of his UFC 299 victory lap.
Having placed on a grasp class in opposition to the absurdly sturdy Marlon Vera (watch highlights), O’Malley is doing the same old tour of podcasts and tv appearances to speak about his efficiency, boxing Floyd Mayweather, and all his different future combat plans. Throughout an look on The Pat McAfee Present, “Suga” went in a stunning route along with his post-fight media: roasting former champion Henry Cejudo.
The 2 have traded verbal blows prior to now, however they’ve by no means been booked to combat. Moreover, now that Cejudo has misplaced two straight, he’s pretty faraway from the Bantamweight title image, opting to name for a Brandon Moreno grudge match moderately than problem one other ranked 135-pound contender.
Regardless of the circumstances, McAfee introduced up “Triple C,” and O’Malley couldn’t assist however unload some hate.
“That was a very long time in the past, when Henry did that,” O’Malley started, referencing a earlier run-in with Cejudo. “That was a bit bit extra when he was related. Henry has bought to be the primary dumbest, shortest champion that has ever lived. He’s so silly! Each time he talks, I feel he’s getting dumber. Dude is so silly, and I can not consider he gained a championship belt.
“He talks and he talks, says among the dumbest s—t ever. However yeah, that was a very long time age, he’s actually dumb and quick — no matter.”
At this level, the possibilities of O’Malley and Cejudo ever colliding within the Octagon appear very slim. The one means something comes of this beef is that if considered one of these two males — who each stay and prepare round Phoenix, Arizona — drives to the opposite’s coaching room and throws down!
Perhaps “Suga” may knock out one other UFC champion within the gymnasium?
