LAS VEGAS – By many people’s assessments, Sean O'Malley will face his first “big” test Saturday at UFC 276 in the form of Pedro Munhoz.
O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) took the stage at the UFC Apex for a pre-fight news conference Wednesday where he unsurprisingly arrived in an eye-catching attire and funkily colored hair. He sported two watches, one on each wrist, and a pair of gemmed-out eyeglasses.
The test might be a larger ask, but O’Malley’s trajectory of self-promotion and uniqueness remained the same as he fielded questions. In his estimation, even if he passes with flying colors, however, O’Malley doesn’t think the doubters and haters will disappear at the sight of a knockout against a top 10 UFC-ranked opponent.
