Sugar Sean O’Malley produced another great knockout at UFC 250

Bantamweight rising star Sean O’Malley produced an incredible knockout at UFC 250. The UFC star was against Eddie Wineland and came up with something sensational in the fight.

He produced a walk-off knockout as he nonchalantly punched his rival and walked back as Wineland hit the ground.

The referee called off the fight in the first round itself, but O’Malley wasn’t the only one with a great KO. Cody Garbrandt did something similar to Raphael Assuncao in his fight.

The former Bantamweight champion produced a swift blow to KO the Brazilian and Assuncao also had trouble sitting on a chair after the knockout.

O’Malley was speaking on his YouTube channel and decided to compare both the knockouts:

“My knockout vs Cody Garbrandt’s knockout, it depends on what perspective you look at it.

“You look at it in a coaching technique, high-level striker. This technique, this skill set threw to knock this guy out was so high level.”

O’Malley then physically tried to show how Garbrandt knocked out Assuncao and even called it like a punch from a bar fight.

“It was a sweet knockout. 100% worth 50 grand, a beautiful knockout. But if you are just seeing which one is more clean, then mine is more clean. Way cleaner.”

O’Malley then went on to explain how he knocked out Wineland and also his feint that he did previously in the fight too.

O’Malley also said that the KO was worth 100 grand right after the knockout, however, he also said he wanted a different knockout.

The 25-year-old is undefeated in his UFC career and has a 12-0 record. O’Malley put his name into the ring for the Bantamweight title but so did Aljamain Sterling and Garbrandt.

It will be interesting to see how things develop in the coming weeks for the division. Henry Cejudo retired from the game while there are several keen on winning the title.
