Sean O’Malley is pleased with his UFC 250 win over Eddie Wineland.<\/p>\n

In the lead up to the fight, O’Malley told BJPENN.com he was expecting a viral knockout<\/a>. He wanted something spinning, but says the one-punch walk-off KO win is good enough for him.<\/p>\n

“I kept saying first-round knockout because that\u2019s how I saw it playing out, I knew it wouldn\u2019t take me long to get him out,” O’Malley said to BJPENN.com. “I wanted something spinning, he was ducking down and I barely missed that spinning head kick that would\u2019ve taken his head off. But, I thought that turned out pretty good.”<\/span><\/p>\n

In the fight, O’Malley was barely hit and put on a dominant performance<\/a>. Yet, for “Sugar” he says he wishes the fight would’ve taken place in the bigger cage as it gives him more room to use his footwork and movement.<\/p>\n

“I prefer the larger cage. But, it didn\u2019t matter that night. I would\u2019ve enjoyed having the fans, too, just having that energy but I perform either way,” he explained. “I knew at home people were going crazy, it was just another day at work for me. In my head, I expected a viral knockout and after it happened, I wasn\u2019t surprised, I knew that was viral.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley says he is completely healthy following the win and is eager to turn it around soon.<\/p>\n

Yet, what was weird for Sugar was the fact no one called him out. It seemed every card that had a bantamweight fight he was getting called out. But, he knew once Brian Kelleher lost<\/a>, he wouldn’t be called out and hopes that fight is no behind him as he proved there’s level to this.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been getting called out by Brian Kelleher for years. I just feel like people realize there are levels to this and I\u2019m not going to fight him. I\u2019ve always been on a different level and I knew no one ahead of me would call me out,” he said. “They all know that\u2019s not an easy fight and I\u2019m not ranked so why would they call me out. Every bantamweight might not be scared of me but they look at me and go that\u2019s a tough fight.”<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, O’Malley is back to training and eager to get back in there soon<\/a> but knows he has to renegotiate his contract first as the Sugar Show is taking over.<\/p>\n

“I renegotiate after every fight. After my Terrion fight, I renegotiated, after my Andre fight I renegotiated and after I knocked out Jose I was supposed to but it didn\u2019t work out that way,” O’Malley said. “I\u2019m in good talks with the UFC<\/a> right now and I\u2019m happy. I should\u2019ve been paid a little bit more probably especially with all the attention I\u2019m getting. <\/span><\/p>\n

“But, overall the UFC takes good care of me so I can\u2019t complain. I feel like it should be fair. I\u2019m not asking for a lot and I\u2019m a bigger draw than some of the guys getting paid twice than me,” Sean O’Malley concluded. “It\u2019s fine, I\u2019m not upset because they should be getting paid that but I should get equal or more. I\u2019m happy with the UFC. The entire fight week was all about the Sugar Show.”<\/span><\/p>\n
