However, anyone who doubts him can turn to former UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson, who is here to help convince you that O&#8217;Malley will be wearing gold sooner or later.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">If you can\u2019t see him w\/a belt around his waist you better get your &#x1f440; checked.<br \/>\nThere\u2019s real&#x1f525; behind his flash.<br \/>\nAnd he\u2019s in a room where &#x1f5e3; is cheap &amp; it doesn\u2019t matter who you are or what you did, you\u2019re pushed everyday by our brothers &amp; sisters.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/YouGotTeammates?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#YouGotTeammates<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WeGotBrothers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#WeGotBrothers<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Sk8vIcIQJb\">https:\/\/t.co\/Sk8vIcIQJb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 TheOnceAndFutureKing (@BensonHenderson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BensonHenderson\/status\/971609160096743424?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 8, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Where do you see Sean O&#8217;Malley (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SugaSeanMMA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SugaSeanMMA<\/a>) in another three years? <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MMA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MMA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UFC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/7CxpBMAcyM\">pic.twitter.com\/7CxpBMAcyM<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 FloCombat (@FloCombat) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FloCombat\/status\/971103230141894656?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 6, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;If you can\u2019t see [Sean O&#8217;Malley] with a belt around his waist you better get your eyes checked.\u00a0There\u2019s real fire behind his flash a<\/em><em>nd he\u2019s in a room where talk is cheap and it doesn\u2019t matter who you are or what you did, you\u2019re pushed everyday by our brothers &amp; sisters.\u00a0You got teammates, we got brothers.&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BensonHenderson\/status\/971609160096743424\">Benson Henderson via his official Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With 10-straight wins and two of those now in the UFC, Sean O&#8217;Malley had the skills and personality to get pushed to the moon. While he may be a future champion, we still should be cautious in throwing him to the wolves so quick. He has to let his foot heal, but when he&#8217;s ready to get back in there, the best bet could be against Benito Lopez. Both are currently unranked and Lopez is own a nine-fight win streak of his own. A win against that Team Alpha Male prospect may break O&#8217;Malley into the top 15 with the likes of Eddie Wineland and Brett Johns.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 3\/8\/2018.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like we have another potential rising star on our hands, but there are a lot of people pumping the brakes.
