Sean O'Malley has decided to play matchmaker in the aftermath of UFC 314.
The former UFC Bantamweight Champion looked away from home with his friends while Paddy Pimblett Michael Chandler on his way to the biggest victory of his career in Miami, Florida, on Saturday evening.
Chats immediately turned to what the next step is for 'The Baddy', who depicts a scrap with former champion Charles Oliveira.
However, Sean O'Malley believes that he has a much better idea for the next UFC fight from Paddy Pimblett.

Sean O'Malley Pitches Superfight for Paddy Pimblett
O'Malley was full of praise for Pimblett immediately after his TKO victory on the third round at UFC 314.
“Damn! Paddy beats Michael Chandler,” he said in a live reaction video that was shared with his YouTube channel.
“Wow! That was f— – impressive, he looked f – sharp.”
'Suga' soon started speculating about who Pimblett could then fight after cracking the lightweight top 10.
Charles Oliveira and Ilia Topuria were driven as potential opponents for the Englishman before O'Malley sent a superfight message to UFC CEO Dana White.
He added: “Boys, Conor McGregor vs Paddy Pimblett is the fight to make.
“It has to happen now. Let's let it happen, Uncle Dana.
“Paddy vs conor on 190 pounds. F— IT! Let them both be fat.”
What is the next step for Sean O'Malley?
O'Malley has not fought anymore since losing its 135 pound title in a decision defeat against Merab Dvalishvili last September.
The 30-year-old was exhausted and surpassed and surpassed at five rounds in the Main Event of UFC 306.
Although he was easily beaten in their first fight, O'Malley received a rematch with Merab Dvalishvili.
The Bantamweight -duo will take UFC 316 Headline, which will take place on 7 June in the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, amidst fans who are not satisfied with the main event.
“The Rematch is officially, 'Suga' Sean vs Merab 2 happens, and I don't think people will be too happy with it,” O'Malley admitted.
“The last time I fought the best bantam weight in the world, or the best bantam weight at the time, we did the job. I have all the confidence in my skills. Last camp had a few – I didn't want to sit here and apologize, we had a great camp, we showed up, I was in shape, I did.
“This camp has already been very different and I feel good. So super excited to go outside and take care of business. I have the feeling that many things I have made in my life in my life attributing to my performance.”
