Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Bantamweight prospects Sean O’Malley and Kris Moutinho will duel this weekend (Sat., July 10, 2021) at UFC 264 inside T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Look, this is not the match up that anyone wanted, especially when such intriguing options were presented even when Louis Smolka was forced to withdraw. It’s certainly not the fight O’Malley wanted, as “Suga” was hoping to score an important victory on the year’s biggest fight card.
Sean O’Malley is looking to end his UFC 264 fight in highlight-reel fashion.
Ahead of the bout, many expect O’Malley to win the fight early. However, for the fan-favorite, he isn’t worried about winning the fight. Instead, he says he wants to KO Moutinho with something never before seen.
“I’m feeling good, man, best shape of my life. Really, what I’m dealing with right now is to try and figure out how I want to knock this kid out,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel. “It needs to be something crazy. It can’t just be an easy right hand from Suga land, it’s gotta be something insane. It needs to be never before done. Tim and I are going to brainstorm fight week, something crazy.”
