Sean O’Malley had a mixed 2020

Sean O’Malley’s last appearance was at UFC 252. The bantamweight prospect suffered his first professional loss to Marlon Vera via TKO in round 1, as he suffered an ankle injury during the fight.

After being off 2 years due to injuries, Sean O’Malley started 2021 in spectacular fashion by knocking out Jose Quinones at UFC 248. At UFC 250, he provided a knockout of the year contender against former WEC champion Eddie Wineland. “Suga” came up with a spectacular walk-off knockout.

At UFC 252, the UFC gave him the co-main event slot. The company realized the potential star power in O’Malley. Although, the fight didn’t go according to the youngster’s plan. He will be desperate to be back in the win column upon his return.
