Sean O’Malley submits famous internet personality after he made an extremely audacious claim… ‘You’ve gotta give me some respect’
Sean O'Malley is currently on the sidelines figuring out his next move after losing his bantamweight title to Merab Dvalishvili last September.
Following his disappointing loss at UFC 306, Sean O'Malley revealed that he entered the fight with an injury and subsequently had to undergo surgery for a torn labrum.
Despite that following his loss, 'Suga' hinted at a possible immediate rematch against Merab Dvalishvili, but 'The Machine' has seemingly come to terms with the fact that he will likely defend his title against Umar Nurmagomedov.

Sean O'Malley files a celebrity hairdresser after making a bold claim
Ahead of his fight against the Georgian, O'Malley sat down for an in-depth interview with famed internet hairdresser and personality VicBlends.
The interview then turned into a not-so-friendly clash between the two after VicBlends made a bold claim that he would last more than 30 seconds on the then-UFC bantamweight champion.
“Yo, for someone who's never wrestled before, how long would it take you to make me tap out?” VicBlends asked O'Malley.
“Ten seconds, I think I'd grab you by the neck pretty quickly,” O'Malley responded hastily.
“I think I could do 30 seconds, right? I have that dog in me,” said the internet sensation.
“30 seconds, no shot. Yes, but if you don't have oxygen in you, it doesn't matter what you have in you, fall asleep. If we were in a caged circle like that, it would probably last 15 seconds. I feel like I would just grab your head,” O'Malley said confidently.
“I feel like you should give me some respect. 15 seconds is crazy, what if I subdue you? Dana (White) better give me a contract if I submit to you,” VicBlends claimed.
The two met on the mats soon after, with 'Suga' drawing a tap from VicBlends within the first five seconds.
Sean O'Malley reveals he is back training after successful surgery
After losing his title in September, O'Malley is keen to return to action and has revealed he is now back in training following a successful operation.
“Good news is Suga Shane is back training, we put on some mitts, some light sparring, he's back in action,” O'Malley's head coach Tim Welch said on a recent episode of The Timbo and Sugar Show.
'People say: you should start wrestling, brother, you don't need to see yourself hit with mitts, you are already sharp.
“I can't wrestle yet, I can move and punch a little with mitts, I can shadow box, box a little, and I can't wrestle at all yet. Probably about three weeks before we can start drilling,” the former champion added.
