After beating Domingo Pilarte via unanimous decision at UFC on ESPN 29, Brian Kelleher decided to call out ‘Suga.’ According to Brian Kelleher, he is the ’easiest opponent’ in O’Malley’s eyes. Kelleher pointed out that O’Malley recently claimed he doesn’t want to fight ranked guys, so it makes sense for them to scrap.
Why is Sean O’Malley unranked despite having a 5-1 UFC record?
Sean O’Malley is in a terrific run of form inside the octagon but remains content fighting unranked guys. O’Malley remains unranked despite having an impressive 5-1 record in the UFC. According to O’Malley, the risks of fighting ranked contenders are greater compared to the rewards.
He revealed that he gets offered the same amount to fight ranked contenders as he gets to fight unranked ones. O’Malley also gets to fight on blockbuster pay-per-views by fighting lesser-ranked athletes. He would prefer to compete against fighters lower down the order as they’re often easier bouts.
