Raul Rosas Jr. explains why Sean O’Malley being champion is both good and bad for UFC bantamweight division

Raul Rosas Jr. believes there are two sides to Sean O'Malley’s reign as UFC bantamweight champion.

The 19-year-old prospect thinks that O’Malley holding the title at 135 pounds is a great thing but also a bad thing – especially if you’re a title-aspiring top contender.

Rosas (8-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC), who one day hopes to fight for the belt, acknowledges the skill set and hype that O’Malley brings to the table, which is a good thing for anyone competing in the division. However, he also sees a possibility where that same stardom can get in the way of the natural course of the division.
