Sean O’Malley believes he is destined to fight Petr Yan for the UFC bantamweight title and, not only that, but ‘Suga’ believes he will ‘sleep the Russian in one’.
Yan lost the bantamweight title after being disqualified for landing an illegal knee on Aljamain Sterling in the fourth round of their controversial title bout at UFC 259.
Many fans, however, still consider Yan to be the ‘real’ champion and O’Malley can’t wait to test himself against the former bantamweight king with the official title up for grabs.
“I’m just saying that I’m training for it,” O’Malley said on the TimboSugarShow podcast (h/t Jordan Ellis of Low Kick MMA).
