The UFC seems interested in being in the Sean O'Malley business, and the feeling looks like it’s mutual for the foreseeable future.
O’Malley (16-1 MMA, 8-1 UFC) has signed a new deal with the UFC, it was announced this past Saturday – and it’s for eight fights. The length is not unheard of, but it certainly would be considered a rarity in MMA.
Also a rarity? UFC president Dana White made it a point to announce it himself on social media at the same time he announced Conor McGregor’s return to coach “The Ultimate Fighter” opposite Michael Chandler. So yeah – O’Malley’s contract is a big deal literally and figuratively.
