O’Malley, who was the number one ranked division contender up until last weekend – dropped to #2 in the official bantamweight rankings following UFC Las Vegas, with Georgian grappler, Merab Dvalishvili knocking him from his perch with a decision win over common-foe, Petr Yan.

Himself dispatching former undisputed and interim bantamweight titleholder, Yan in Abu Dhabi, UAE in October of last year, O’Malley secured a close, unanimous decision win over the Dudinka native on ‘Fight Island’.

The Montana native had maintained that following his win over Yan, he would only fight in a championship outing for the promotion next, however, the UFC have since booked an undisputed outing between titleholder, Aljamain Sterling, and the returning, Henry Cejudo on May 6. in Newark, New Jersey.

Offering to feature as a backup fight at UFC 288 at the Prudential Center, O’Malley was rebuffed by the aforenoted, Cejudo – who urged Dvalishvili to remain on stand-by for the title outing – claiming Sterling would likely withdraw from the New Jersey pay-per-view.

However, according to Sean O’Malley – the Dana White’s Contender Series alum remains hopeful and confident of securing his own championship fight this summer regardless of Cejudo’s denial.

“I will be fighting in July for a title,” Sean O’Malley tweeted.

Sean O’Malley will be sticking with the UFC for many more years to come.

The No. 1 ranked bantamweight contender revealed on his YouTube channel that he recently signed a brand new eight-fight contract with the promotion. While he didn’t get everything he asked for, ‘Sugar’ received what he described as a “very gracious” contract.

“Even if I do fight Aljo next I don’t get pay-per-view points,” O’Malley revealed. “That was something I talked about in the negotiations. I tried to get it, you know, pay-per-view points not being the champ, didn’t fly, but I will say I did resign with the UFC,” he explained. “A very gracious contract that I’m proud of. I offered that, I asked for this, they said no, they said yes. I said well, they said huh, and I got a number that I’m very happy with. And I truly don’t think any manager that I had could have went in there and got me what I got.”

Sean O’Malley Eyeing Potential Fights With Aljamain Sterling or Henry Cejudo

With contract negotiations now taken care of, O’Malley can resume discussions regarding his next bout inside the Octagon. In October, ‘Sugar’ skyrocketed from outside the bantamweight division’s top-10 spot to the No. 1 with a closely contested split decision victory over former 135-pound champion Petr Yan. Since then, O’Malley has been itching to get back inside the cage with proposed fights against UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling or the returning Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo.

“It also helps the relationship I’ve built with the UFC,” O’Malley continued. “I feel like I have earned this contract. This is what I feel I’ve earned, the amount that I’m getting paid. And I think the UFC, I think they’re fine with paying people what they earn,” he said. “I feel like I’m in a good position with the UFC and I’m getting paid what I earn. I’m very happy with how the negotiations went” (h/t MiddleEasy).

With the exception of a first-round TKO loss to Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera in 2020, Sean O’Malley has practically walked through every fighter that has stood across from him. At UFC 280, ‘Sugar’ took a huge step up in competition against Petr Yan. O’Malley came out on top, though the victory did come with a pinch of controversy as many within the MMA community believe Yan did more than enough to earn the W.

“There’s high – higher powers out there,” Sean O’Malley said on his podcast with coach, Tim Welch. “Like some of those girls could have liked rough sex. They like when you say ‘Rape me’ – or say, ‘You rape me’. Dude, girls are f*cking – when they’re horny and sexual like that, they can say some crazy sh*t. (I) heard it.”

“And then now it’s like, ‘Well, that was 10 years ago, well, maybe, he’s (Andrew Tate) kinda famous – he did rape me,’” Sean O’Malley explained.

With footage of his transportation from a Romania jail release earlier this week, Tate addressed the assembled media, claiming the “matrix” was the reason for his arrest

“The matrix is trying to frame me, but God knows the truth,” Andrew Tate said. “There’s no evidence in my file, ‘cause I’ve done nothing wrong. Everyone knows I’m innocent – it’s okay, everyone knows I’m innocent.

Is Henry versus Aljo (Aljamain Sterling) happening?’” Sean O’Malley said. “They [the UFC] just don’t know… They’re kind of just trying to wait to see if (Sterling) can (make UFC 285) or what. I’m frustrated, but I’m OK, because I’m training.”

In tandem with his offer to fight Los Angeles wrestling ace, Cejudo for an interim title – O’Malley offered to rematch Marlon Vera, before the Ecuadorian was booked to fight fellow contender, Cory Sandhagen next month.

Speaking on the Luton-raised commenter’s recent arrest in Romania, O’Malley, a product of Dana White’s Contender Series claimed that he was unsure if Tate was engaging in nefarious or illegal activities, would he have such a large social media presence.

“They’re (Andrew Tate and Tristian Tate) clearly intelligent in some ways,” Sean O’Malley said on his podcast. “If they were making bread, and they were doing it illegally. I don’t think they would be on the internet as much, talking as much, as they do. Putting themselves out there so much is everything wasn’t f*cking just good.”

“That’s the debate, people would say, ‘Oh, I don’t want kids – I don’t think kids should be listening to this,’” Sean O’Malley continued. “But I mean, if you listen to it, it’s like, well, it’s not bad. It’s good. ‘Don’t be a b*tch,’ basically., That’s all I’m saying.”

In the time since, Aljamain Sterling has been linked with a host of potential opponents for his next title fight, including both Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen – who have both since been matched to fight each other in February, as well as title fights with both O’Malley, and the aforenoted, Cejudo.

Sharing a post at the turn of the New Year, Sterling teased a return fight against Montana native in his next Octagon appearance, detailing how his training for 2022 had come to a close.

At the same Abu Dhabi, UAE event, O’Malley earned the #1 rank in the official bantamweight pile with a close split decision win over Yan. And in the time since, has insisted he will likely wait to fight for a title in his next Octagon walk, rather than defend his status as number one contender.
