Sean O'Malley has revealed Floyd Mayweather's work ethic has inspired him in his UFC career.
O'Malley is viewed as one of the brightest prospects on the UFC roster and continued his sharp rise with a controversial win over leading contender Petr Yan last October. This could now see him in contention for a shot at the division champion Aljamain Sterling, who has yet to confirm his next outing since he retained his title with a win over TJ Dillashaw on the same card.
'Suga' has just one loss to his name, against Marlon Vera, but believes he will be able to avenge the loss while conquering the division. And the rising star has admitted he is looking to himself retire with 50 wins on his record in a similar way to the boxing legend. He said on his TimboSugarShow : "I was watching a bunch of Floyd stuff, but that mother****er would train like three or four times a day, like an hour at a time.
