Things got physical at the big public UFC 280 press conference this morning when Petr Yan laid his hands on Sean O’Malley during a faceoff, shoving ‘Suga’ across the stage.<\/p>\n
Yan had been doing his best to get under O’Malley’s skin through the entire press conference, hitting him with savage zingers. At one point he said<\/a> Sean “looked like a whore on the side of the road.”<\/p>\n That elicited a bunch of hoots and hollers from the crowd even before the comment was translated. O’Malley was asked if he wanted to respond and simply said “Nah, that was good. That was good.”<\/p>\n https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufc\/status\/1583107364437168133<\/p>\n O’Malley turned up the intensity when it was time to square off in the first staredowns of the week. He stepped right up to Petr Yan and practically leaned over him. After a few moments where the two locked eyes, Yan shoved O’Malley away. Even that didn’t seem to phase ‘Suga,’ who held his hands up and invited the crowd to cheer.<\/p>\n Following the incident he took to Instagram<\/a> where he shared his thoughts on getting shoved.<\/p>\n “I\u2019d push me too,” he wrote.<\/p>\n\n
