Ben Askren Tells Sean O’Malley To ‘Toughen Up’ Post-Surgery

Ben Askren got his hip replacement surgery done earlier today, and he had some choice words for Sean O’Malley, regarding him being carried out of the cage on a stretcher at UFC 252. “See, Sean O’Malley’s faking an ankle injury. (He) needed a fucking stretcher. I’m like four hours post-op from the hip, Lisa’s got […]

Ben Askren got his hip replacement surgery done earlier today, and he had some choice words for Sean O’Malley, regarding him being carried out of the cage on a stretcher at UFC 252.

“See, Sean O’Malley’s faking an ankle injury. (He) needed a fucking stretcher. I’m like four hours post-op from the hip, Lisa’s got me walking already. Sean, toughen up a little bit son.” – Ben Askren via Twitter

This is just the thing Askren would do. He’s one of the best fighters, or retired fighters, at trolling other fighters online. Once O’Malley was kicked on his knee in his fight with Marlon Vera, his leg went dead, and he ended up spraining his ankle as the fight went on.

The former multiple-time Bellator and ONE Championship Welterweight Champion doesn’t believe that’s enough of an excuse to not be able to walk out of the octagon.

It’s great to see that Askren finally got his hip replaced, he’s needed do get that done for some time now. That’s the main reason he retired back in 2017, and in 2019. It’d be pretty cool to see him return, he didn’t leave on the best note. He’s better than he was able to show us in the year he was with the UFC.

As for O’Malley, hopefully he has a quick recovery process and can get back inside the cage soon. He was looking great early on in his fight with Vera, up until his leg gave out. He was landing some vicious leg kicks of his own, and he was on point until he couldn’t put weight on his right leg.

O’Malley is still only 25 years of age, he’ll continue growing and getting better for years to come. Every performance he has, you can tell he’s just put that much more time in the gym. He has as much potential as anyone we’ve ever seen in this sport.

Darren Till believes Sean O’Malley needs to take his loss to Marlon Vera and move on.

Ever since O’Malley lost at UFC 252, he blamed the ankle and even said he will still be a world champion while Vera will be a journeyman. For Till, he says O’Malley needs to give ‘Chito’ respect.

“You always have to give credit,” Till said on Michael Bisping’s Believe You Me podcast (via MMAFighting). “I was saying something to someone before about Sean O’Malley with ‘Chito’ Vera. I really like Sean and I think he’s gonna be good, but you got beat, man. Take your loss. Have respect, you will be a champion yet in the future, but don’t start calling the guy who just beat you a journeyman.

“I’m not throwing disrespect at him. I think he’s a good fighter, but there’s two things that stuck out in my mind. One, is the way that he lost [with his ankle] and it just makes me think that I fought three complete rounds with a torn MCL. My knees are f*cked. I know what I had to fight with for those three rounds,” he continued. “couldn’t use what I’m best at. I’m a master of movement and I couldn’t do it. I was there. There was no way I was going. Even when Rob took me down, I was in so much pain and I was like, ‘Get back up, get back up, get back up.’

“Number two, I just think the way he’s handling it after the fight, ‘Oh, he’s a journeyman, I’m gonna be a champion,’ mate, just take the loss. Give the respect and you’ll be a champion. Just forget all of that.”

Not only does Darren Till believe Sean O’Malley needs to give credit, but he believes Suga needs to accept the loss and move on.

“The world’s best have all lost,” Till stated. “Muhammad Ali, I even believe Floyd Mayweather lost, too, even though he is one of a kind. We all lost. I am one of the world’s best and we all lose. Take your loss, go back, come back.”

What do you make of Darren Till’s advice to Sean O’Malley?
