Sean O’Malley is one of the biggest names in the company. He became the Bantamweight champion of the world when he knocked out Aljamain Sterling in the second round of there title fight last year. He later defended his belt in the main event of UFC 299 against Marlon Vera when he put up an absolute clinic, out-striking him throughout five rounds.
Sean O’Malley in his podcast claimed that after defending the belt against Merab Dvalishvili he would love to switch over to boxing and take on Ryan Garcia. Kamaru Usman gave his take on the same.
Sean O’Malley is a natural striker and has finished many of his opponents inside of the octagon. O’Malley is an elite striker but the decision of taking over the boxing ring is still a questionable one.
Kamaru Usman on Sean O’Malley’s claims
Kamaru Usman is himself known for his impressive jabbing skills. In his podcast Usman touched upon Sean O’Malley’s claims of switching over to the boxing ring to face superstar Ryan Garcia. Usman made a rather strong claim when talking about the same and made sure to mention that he thinks its not a very smart idea for one peculiar reason. Usman said,
Sean O’Malley has like a whole, literally one ofthe deepest divisions to even to get through. You have one of the deepest division of contenders waiting for you.
Kamaru Usman made it clear that the Bantamweight is one of the most active divisions in the company. There are a ton of contenders for Sean to take on and beat before he can even think of switching over to boxing against a dangerous guy like Ryan Garcia.

Sean O’Malley must take on Merab Dvalkishvili before he can think of anything else. Overcoming Merab is not going to be child’s play, given the fact that Merab is an elite chain-wrestler who is difficult to beat.
Sean O’Malley should be established as the undisputed king of his division by beating several contenders before he can move to the boxing ring in the near future.
