The UFC world loves a good knockout, and sometimes fighters are secretly thankful they are watching from the sidelines instead of eating canvas. Sean O’Malley found himself in exactly that position after UFC 317, where Ilia Topuria delivered another jaw-dropping performance that left the MMA community buzzing. The Georgian-Spanish fighter has been on an absolute tear lately, collecting scalps from some of the sport’s biggest names.<\/p>
O’Malley, never one to shy away from bold callouts or entertaining social media content, had previously set his sights on Topuria. Fresh off his dominant victory over Marlon Vera, ‘Suga’ grabbed the microphone and boldly declared he wanted to fly to Spain to face the featherweight champion. It seemed like typical O’Malley bravado at the time, but after watching Topuria’s latest destruction at UFC<\/a> 317, the former bantamweight star was singing a very different tune!<\/p> After Topuria knocked out Charles Oliveira to claim the vacant lightweight title, O’Malley filmed his reaction for his YouTube channel. His response was refreshingly honest and hilariously self-aware. <\/p> “Thank God he didn’t accept my call out” <\/em><\/strong><\/p>Sean O’Malley’s Honest Moment Of Relief<\/h2>
