ABU DHABI – Sean O'Malley is not sure what’s next for his career, but he does think he’s bound to be UFC champion.
The bantamweight contender is coming off the biggest win of his career, a split decision win over former champion Petr Yan on Saturday’s UFC 280 main card. The bout was a close and grueling contest, but O’Malley thinks a title is in his future.
“It’s inevitable,” O’Malley said at the UFC 280 post-fight news conference. “I turn 28 (Sunday), and I’m going to be in this sport for a long time. People want me to be champ, so it’s going to happen sooner or later.”
