UFC bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley admitted that lightweight prospect Paddy Pimblett is “kind of smart” with his trash talking.<\/p>\n

Ever since making his UFC debut earlier this month with a KO win over Luigi Vendramini, Pimblett has been a thorn in the side of many other UFC fighters with his trash talking. One of the fighters who he has targeted with his trash talk is O’Malley<\/a>, who is one of the UFC’s youngest and brightest stars. While one would figure O’Malley wouldn’t exactly be thrilled with what Pimblett has said about him, O’Malley said that he appreciates that he’s trying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t know of him until the UFC kind of started posting about him, and I obviously don\u2019t follow him, so I just had a bunch of people telling me, \u2018Yo, Paddy\u2019s talking sh*t,\u2019 and saying he was talking sh*t, so I\u2019m not going to not talk sh*t back. I heard him. He\u2019s talking sh*t so I\u2019ve got to talk a little sh*t back, right? So yeah, I don\u2019t know. I don\u2019t know what his beef was with me, but as ugly and stupid as he may look, he\u2019s kind of smart. He\u2019s talking about the biggest names in the UFC,” O’Malley told MMAFighting.com’s The MMA Hour<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m clearly one of the biggest draws. I\u2019m the cash cow and he knows that, so why not? He\u2019s got to use my name, he\u2019s got to say my name. It makes sense. Like I said, people want to see characters. He understands that. He\u2019s going to be a character, he\u2019s going to say what he needs to say,” O’Malley said. “He went out and performed the way he needed to, aside from almost getting knocked out. I think that could be a potential big fight. I don\u2019t know, we\u2019ll see. That was my first time I\u2019ve ever seen him fight, we\u2019ll see how he does against (better competition). It\u2019s similar with me \u2014 people want to see me fight top guys, people want to see him fight top guys \u2014 so we\u2019ll see how he competes with the top (of his division).\u201d<\/p>\n
