Sean O’Malley was supposed to return at UFC 239 against Marlon Vera. Yet, he was flagged by USADA and the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) removed him from the card. But, USADA says it is from the same tainted supplement that he was already suspended before, ie. Jon Jones’ situation.
The NSAC voted unanimously to extend O’Malley’s temporary suspension, according to MMA Junkie. They are reporting the bantamweight should have his hearing at the next commission meeting. Which as of right now, does not have a date. Yet, they mentioned the NSAC is normally fluid on dates.
O’Malley is coming off of a six-month suspension for Ostarine, where he along with a few other fighters all were caught with it in their system. Yet, they were all ruled from a tainted supplement but were still suspended, and the 24-year-old is the only one where it came back up in his system.
Currently, he is 10-0 as a pro with his last fight coming at UFC 222 in March of 2018. There, he beat Andre Soukhamthath by decision. He is 2-0 inside the Octagon and got signed to the Las Vegas-based promotion after he beat Alfred Khashakyan by knockout on the Contender Series.
When Sean O’Malley will be cleared to return, or who he will fight is to be seen.
