It was another amazing performance by O&#8217;Malley, who is 3-0 so far in 2021 with knockout wins over Paiva, Thomas Almeida, and Kris Moutinho. For O&#8217;Malley, though, he almost didn&#8217;t even make it to this fight with Paiva. According to &#8220;Sugar,&#8221; who spoke to the media following UFC 269, he had a nasty rib injury that he sustained during his training camp. According to O&#8217;Malley, he didn&#8217;t spar for three weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI literally think if he were to have taken me down and I tried to get up, I don\u2019t know what would\u2019ve happened. I didn\u2019t spar for the past three weeks. I was grappling. The guy had a body lock, he had my back, had a body lock. I went to turn. He squeezed at the same time. Nothing crazy, just grappling and I don\u2019t really know what exactly happened. Rib injuries, if you\u2019ve ever had a rib injury, they\u2019re just so annoying. They take a while, but I let it chill for about a week,&#8221; O&#8217;Malley said (via <a href=\"https:\/\/mmajunkie.usatoday.com\/2021\/12\/ufc-269-sean-omalley-video-rib-injury-grappling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAjunkie.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI just ran and hit mitts and then tried to grapple again that next week. I couldn\u2019t do the simplest grappling. For the last three weeks, I didn\u2019t grapple at all. I didn\u2019t even test it. I didn\u2019t even want to. I didn\u2019t want to do any clinch work. I didn\u2019t do anything. I came into this fight, planning on him not being able to touch me and just being confident and trusting the work I\u2019ve put in. I\u2019m really proud of myself for having the mindset to be able to come in here and know that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What do you think should be next for Sean O&#8217;Malley after beating Raulian Paiva at UFC 269?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC bantamweight contender Sean O&#8217;Malley revealed the rib injury that he sustained during his UFC 269 training camp for Raulian Paiva.
