Sean O’Malley has reacted to Dana White’s ‘are you out of your mind’ comments regarding his upcoming fight with Petr Yan.<\/p>\n

White, when asked about the fight between the two bantamweights said to Alex Behunin on a video posted to ‘Twitter’:<\/p>\n

\u201cSean Shelby wanted that fight and I said \u2018Are you out of your mind? You don\u2019t make that fight now.\u2019 \u2026 He ended up selling me on it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Sean Shelby<\/a> is the Senior Vice President of Talent Relations in the UFC and also works as a matchmaker for the promotion.<\/p>\n

It was announced that Sean O’Malley (15-1 MMA) will indeed meet up with Petr Yan (16-3 MMA) at UFC 280 on October 22, 2022 at the Etihad Arena in Yas Island, Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n

\"Petr<\/p>\n

O’Malley, speaking on ‘The MMA Hour’ has this to say about Dana White’s comments (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>):<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know, I\u2019m not really looking at it either way. Once I faceplant Petr into the canvas, Dana will be like, \u2018OK, that was a good fight.\u2019 Regardless, me vs. Petr is an epic fight, a sweet, sweet kickboxing fight if I had to guess \u2013 two very high-level strikers, two very high-level MMA fighters, and it\u2019s gonna be a very interesting fight. I believe I have what it takes to put Petr\u2019s lights out.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Continuing O’Malley spoke about his love for Dana White:<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, not at all. I think Dana really likes me. I f*cking love Dana. So I think with him saying that, it was no disrespect or anything. It\u2019s just his opinion, and anybody could have their own opinion. I don\u2019t really care. I think that fight gets Dana excited. Dana\u2019s been doing this for a long time. He could be getting burnt out of it, (watching) fights every weekend. What fight is gonna make Dana go, \u2018I need to watch that fight, I have to watch that, I have to know what happened\u2019? There are very few fights (coming up).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Are you excited about ‘Sugar’ O’Malley getting in the Octagon with Petr Yan?<\/p>\n
