UFC bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley reaffirmed his interest in fighting rising star Adrian Yanez, saying “that’s a sick fight.”<\/p>\n

O’Malley called out Yanez after his “Fight of the Night” victory over Davey Grant at UFC Vegas 43<\/a>. Yanez, however, suggested that O’Malley wasn’t being serious about the callout. “Suga,” though, confirmed that he is in fact interested in this fight, and he is hoping the UFC sets this fight up for next March should O’Malley beat Raulian Paiva at UFC 269.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdrian Yanez won, I called him out, he talked sh*t. We\u2019ll probably fight in March\u2026he sounded stupid. I was like, \u2018Damn, that\u2019s a sick fight. That\u2019d be a sweet next matchup\u2019 because every time he\u2019s fought, I\u2019m like, \u2018Damn.\u2019 He always puts on a performance. It\u2019s always a fun fight to watch and Din Thomas says he looks like a young Jorge Masvidal. Like, damn, that\u2019s sick. He does,” Sean O\u2019Malley said on \u201cThe Timbo Sugar Show\u201d podcast<\/a> (via MMAjunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI said it would be fun to fight him in March, and I mean \u2013 you get called out, you take it as disrespect in a way. He did that. Automatically, he was like, \u2018Well, he knocked out Eddie Wineland, then he knocked out Thomas Almeida\u2019 and he\u2019s just trying to find things to talk sh*t about, which I didn\u2019t \u2013 I wanna fight because I think it\u2019d be a sweet fight. March, and I\u2019m not taking Paiva light either. I\u2019ve got to get through Paiva first, but I think that would be a next sweet fight. March.\u201d<\/p>\n

Both O’Malley and Yanez are two of the best young fighters under the age of 30 in the UFC bantamweight division, and both men have very bright futures in this sport. The UFC matchmakers will likely put them on separate paths up the division, but if they do match them up, no fans would be complaining about seeing this fight between the two strikers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
