Sean O'Malley has brought some specialized help from two iconic former UFC champions.
O'Malley is in the main event of UFC 316 opposite Merab Dvalishvili, where he will regain the title of the Bantam weight.
In anticipation of June 7, videos posted on social media have shown 'Suga' and his coach, Tim Welch, that the brains choose two incredibly successful hunters.
The first former champion to come by was 'The Last Stylebender' with Israel Adesanya who shares the cage with O'Malley and the beating of pads.
After this visit, a second legendary competitor also made the journey with both O'Malley and Welch some work with Demetrious Johnson.
Sean O'Malley and Tim Welch Praise Demetrious Johnson when thinking about training session
In the latest episode of The Red Hawk Recap, Sean O'Malley and Tim Welch both thought about their experiences with training with Demetrious Johnson.
'Suga' was incredibly impressed by 'Mighty Mouse', with confidence that the retired 38-year-old could still compete at the highest level.
“It felt like child of what I expected, even more thought. His speed and just like athleticism and yeah, that was cool. It was very different than Israel Adesanya, Completely Different … Obviously, He's one of all Time Featest of all featest of all featest of all featest of all featest of all featest of all featest of all featest of all featest of all featest of all time. Realize that but then Him Being in Front of You, You're Like Yep, Okay, That Makes Sense. ”
O'Malley referred to how Johnson Henry Cejudo dismantled 197 in one of the best versions of his historical flying weight line.
The champion has always been incredibly well completed, but it was his technique and knees in the conflict that assured that specific victory.
Welch emphasized this when he spoke about what he could learn from Johnson, who is known as one of the best spirits in sport.
'Dude, it was so sweet. I learned a lot from him alone in the conflict. He presses you so hard, forces you to reach to him, to reach him and grab him, and as soon as you reach him and grab him, he just rifts those knees in the middle.
“That is one thing that really surprised me is just when I grabbed him. I asked him some questions in the conflict and he was just like moving, doing these different things. I am like F -, he is like a black belt in the clinch.”
Demetrious Johnson did not retire because he could no longer compete with the best
In the last two fights by Demetrious Johnson, he produced two great performances to reclaim and defend one flight weight world championship.
'Mighty Mouse' took the best knock -out victory of his career to just avenge his loss against Adriano Moraes to conclude their trilogy with a clinical version in 2023 who showed how great he was in the conflict.
Johnson was called up at the end of last year by UFC flight weight champion Alexandre Pantoja, but that only led him to confirm that he is not going to fight anymore.
Instead, the former UFC champion is currently focused on competing in Jiu-Jitsu and producing content on his YouTube channel.
