“Hopefully in January. Hopefully, yeah in January. We’re keeping him kind of ready. I just got done sparring now, so we’re starting to get his body ready for a fight… I mean, gosh, there’s a lot of fights that could happen.”
“But I really want to; if things go the way they should go and ‘Sug’ gets to fight for the title again in the warehouse, you have Song Yadong, who is a great match – that would be an exciting fight. You have the [Aiemann] Zahabi child. The Zahabi kid, he beat Pedro Munhoz, he beat Jose Aldo, he beat [Marlon] ‘Chito’ Vera. I think this is another exciting fight where we could look really good.
Sean O’Malley called out by controversial UFC fighter
Sean O’Malley is someone who is always on the receiving end of callouts, and he was put in the crosshairs of a former featherweight who now wants to make waves at 135 pounds. That fighter in question is Bryce Mitchell, who recently put out feelers for a fight he called “city boy versus country boy.”
Bryce Mitchell made this call during a recent interview with Helen Yee, describing the fight as the biggest fight and his biggest potential opponent here. While Mitchell touted a potential fight with ‘Suga’ as a great matchup, it was a fight booking that he didn’t seem one hundred percent confident would come to fruition next.
This is in the context of realizing he is new to the division, but Mitchell has a confident view of his next few years in the bantamweight division, performing well against the upper end of the weight category. Mitchell is coming off a statement victory in his bantamweight debut as he defeated Said Nurmagomedov on points.
