The verdict may be clear to judges and fans alike—Sean O’Malley was dominated by Merab Dvalishvili in their UFC 306 title clash last week. However, in true “Suga” fashion, O’Malley isn’t buying it. Despite showing remarkable sportsmanship immediately after the fight, the newly-dethroned bantamweight champion has made it clear that he believes the outcome should have gone his way.
Why? According to O’Malley, he believes he won three of the five rounds—specifically the first, third, and fifth—and that the decision was skewed by biased commentary and judging. In his eyes, the fight was his, but external forces tipped the scales in Dvalishvili’s favor.
“The narrative around this f—ing fight was that I got my a– whooped. I’m gonna ask the UFC if they will please post that fight on YouTube. I won the first, third, and fifth rounds. And I challenge all you f—ing dorks that think that I got my a– kicked to go and rewatch that fight with the commentary off and tell me I did not win that fight… I’m the champ, I won! Let’s go!” an impassioned O’Malley declared on a recent Twitter Space with his fans.
“All you little dorks go rewatch it. Round one, three, and five. I WON that fight!”
