Sean O’Malley says Petr Yan hit him harder than he’s ever been hit before at UFC 280.<\/p>\n

O’Malley was set for the toughest test of his career at UFC 280 as he squared off against the former champ in Yan. ‘Suga’ was a sizeable underdog<\/a> heading into that fight and many were writing him off. However, he proved his doubters wrong by edging out a split decision win.<\/p>\n

Although it was a competitive fight – with many thinking Yan won – O’Malley still proved a lot. He landed some big shots on the former 135lbs title holder and did significant damage to his face. Yan also landed a big shot during the contest that appeared to rock ‘Suga.’ O’Malley has now admitted in a podcast with Logan Paul that Yan’s punch was the hardest strike he’s ever been hit with.<\/p>\n

“Just f*cking cracked me, bro. That\u2019s definitely the hardest I\u2019ve ever been hit,” O’Malley said on the podcast<\/a>. “I didn\u2019t go out or didn\u2019t not know where I was at. I remember, boom I got rocked and then we kinda got into a scramble and I ended up on my back closed my guard and held him there.”<\/p>\n

Although he did get rocked, Sean O’Malley doesn’t think he did anything wrong technique-wise.<\/p>\n

Instead, for O’Malley, he believes Petr Yan is just that good. With that being said, ‘Suga’ believes that also proves how good he is due to the fact he was able to recover and was able to land some solid shots on Yan afterward.<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think I did anything wrong, it just how good that motherf****r is,” O’Malley said. “I don\u2019t think I over-committed. You know re-watching it, I wasn\u2019t like f**k I wish I didn\u2019t do that, the motherf****r\u2019s just that good dude. Maybe, I don’t know, usually, in those positions I’m so good finding that motherf*****s chin and putting his lights out. I\u2019m good at finding people’s chins, that\u2019s the name of the game that\u2019s what I\u2019m so good as doing and finding his chin.<\/p>\n

“The motherf****r\u2019s defense dude is as high-level as it gets. So the fact that I did find his chin and I did drop him,” O’Malley continued. “I don’t think anyone has dropped him – maybe John Dodson. He\u2019s fought some killers that haven\u2019t done shit to him and I was able to drop him so I don\u2019t know if would really do anything different. Obviously, I wouldn’t have liked to get hit by that shot, that motherf****r was just that good.”<\/p>\n

With the win, Sean O’Malley improved to 16-1 and one No Contest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
