Rising star at bantamweight Sean O’Malley is “100 percent” certain he’d knock out former champion Cody Garbrandt but doubts ‘No Love’ would be willing to accept a fight with him. O’Malley scored a huge one punch, walk away KO over former title challenger Eddie Wineland at UFC 250 this past weekend.

Sean O’Malley Thinks Cody Garbrandt Will Avoid Him

The 25-year-old seems on the cusp of superstardom and ready to up his level of opposition against someone like Garbrandt who also scored a highlight reel KO at UFC 250. Despite wanting the fight ‘Suga’ is doubtful that Garbrandt would be willing to fight him because the former champion has nothing to gain from it, speaking to ESPN he said.

“There’s no way he takes that fight. There’s no way he takes that fight, it’s a lose-lose. One, he’s probably going to get knocked out and two he’s fighting someone who has a lot of hype. But, if he beats me people will say, ‘oh you [should have],’ so it’s a lose-lose for him I feel like. I’m sure they’d avoid that fight.”

O’Malley admits Garbrandt looked good during his knockout win over Raphael Assuncao this past weekend. Despite that he remains very confident about his chances against ‘No Love’ who he says will suffer another KO loss if they fight next.

“Yeah, absolutely, 100 percent. I feel like I’d knock Cody out. I mean, he looked more improved on Saturday. He looked like he was more calculated, more calm, he looked very much improved since getting knocked out three times,” O’Malley explained. “So, he did improve, he is high-level. He’s a very, very dangerous opponent and anyone that just throws bombs like that is dangerous. I feel like I’m calculated enough, accurate enough, and skilled enough to be able to knock him out. It’s a win-win fight for me.” (Transcribed by BJPenn.com)

UFC 250 saw plenty of finishes, but there were two that stood out more than the others — Sean O’Malley and Cody Garbrandt’s knockouts of Eddie Wineland and Raphael Assuncao respectively.

When O’Malley knocked Wineland out in the first round of the main card opener, not many expected it to be outshone. That was until Garbrandt delivered a buzzer-beating knockout on Assuncao which went even more viral.

O’Malley tweeted his reaction to it soon after.

Although both fighters received performance bonuses, the mixed martial arts world has been debating since about which knockout was better.

“Sugar” unsurprisingly believes his was the superior knockout and explained why.

“His looked like something you’d see in a bar fight, mine was clean pure technique.”

Garbrandt vs. O’Malley Down The Line?

It’s certainly up for debate. While O’Malley’s knockout had more technique, many argued Garbrandt did it on the buzzer against a superior opponent.

Some fans have also called for them to fight each other next. It’s a fight that would definitely be enticing but for now, it’s too early for O’Malley who just completed his third UFC outing. Garbrandt seems to agree as he hinted at facing O’Malley in the future.

“I will say I like his style. I like his little flashy hair,” Garbrandt said at the post-fight presser. “It’s cool for the division. So keep doing his thing, keep getting those wins, we’ll see you at the top, buddy.”
