Sean O’Malley, known for his flashy style and colorful hair, just lost his title to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306. It was a tough pill to swallow for ‘Suga.’ But instead of getting into recovery mode, he decided to pick a fight with someone from a different sport entirely. The latest ‘enemy’ for him is Devin Haney.
These two have been circling each other on social media. O’Malley, feeling a bit salty after his loss, threw down the gauntlet. He offered to put up a cool million bucks for a no-holds-barred fight with Haney.
“Boxers are f**king p**sies, dude. Devin Haney’s a b**ch. He’s such a b**ch. Dude, if Devin Haney wants to talk s**t, if he really wants to fight, I’ll put a million dollars on me versus him, no time limit, and we can fight. MMA rules, just a fight, or we could do no rules, “ said O’Malley via TimboSugarShow.
But here’s where it gets interesting. O’Malley didn’t just challenge Haney to a boxing match. That would be too simple. He wanted an MMA fight or even a no-rule street fight. It seems like Sean O’Malley is really upping the beef with the Boxing star.
But let’s be real for a second. As entertaining as this back-and-forth is, it is not likely to happen. Dana White, the big boss of UFC, has made it clear he’s not a fan of these crossover fights.
Devin Haney Responds To Sean O’Malley’s Milion Dollar Offer

But Haney wasn’t having any of it. The former undisputed lightweight champ fired back. His response was both a flex and a reality check. He reminded ‘Suga’ of the financial gap between top-tier boxing and MMA.
“I don’t fight for a million dollars like you.. @SugaSeanMMA let’s do a boxing fight & give us a shot at making real money!” wrote Haney via X.
Both guys are coming off tough times in their careers. A little social media spat is just what these guys may need to blow off steam and stay relevant. These guys are masters at keeping their names in the headlines and this eventually helps them in the long run.
