Rising UFC bantamweight prospect Sean O’Malley has won all of his UFC matches so far, but the polarizing “Sugar” is beginning to make headlines for his colorful personality as well.

The biggest all-out media spectacle of the year in mixed martial arts unfolded from Brooklyn, New York, today when lightweight champion Conor McGregor threw a guardrail at a bus containing rival Khabib Nurmagomedov after UFC 223 media day, resulting in at least one UFC fighter getting injured and an arrest warrant being issued for the Irish champion.

Many, including McGregor’s longtime foil Nate Diaz, speculated that ‘The Notorious’ came to NYC to back up Russian friend and teammate Artem Lobov, who was put in a tough spot when “The Eagle” isolated Lobov at a hotel and confronted him earlier in the week.

And apparently, that’s just the case according to Steven Muehlhausen on Twitter, who revealed details from an anonymous source that the UFC’s biggest name came to New York early to back “The Russian Hammer” in his rivalry with Khabib and his team:

The source also continued on about “The Notorious’” plan for the melee, claiming that McGregor was sick of it and wanted to see what they would do when he showed up:

More on this developing – and completely mad – story as it arises.

The MMA world got some exciting news – in many different forms – this week, and part of that was the interim welterweight title fight between Rafael dos Anjos and Colby Covington at May’s UFC 224 from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Apparently still recovering from shoulder surgery, current 170-pound champion Tyron Woodley questioned the need for another interim belt, but it was reportedly due to him turning down an opportunity.

Although he did fight in four title fights in just under a year from July 2016 – July 2017, Woodley has been out since undergoing a procedure for a torn labrum suffered in his incredibly boring decision win over Demian Maia at last July’s UFC 214.

And according to UFC President Dana White, “The Chosen One” likely won’t make his return to the Octagon until August 2018 at the earliest:

“Tyron Woodley, we were trying to get him to fight,” White told UFC Tonight. “He came back with a doctor’s note that says he is injured and cannot fight until August.”

Prior to his victory over Maia, Woodley had successfully defended his title twice against Stephen Thompson, fighting “Wonderboy” to a majority draw at UFC 205 and winning a decision in their rematch at UFC 209.

Upon his return, it’s likely that Woodley would take on the winner of the bout between dos Anjos and Covington, but the welterweight division is moving forward as a whole as well.

For example, Kamaru Usman will face off against Sanitago Ponizinibbio in the main event of UFC Fight Night 129 on May 29, 2018 in Chile.

Then, Thompson and rising contender Darren Till will meet in the main event of UFC Fight Night 130 on May 27, 2018 in Liverpool.

Which fight are you most looking forward to and who would you like to see Woodley square off with upon his return?
