Sean O’Malley, the UFC’s bantamweight champion, is brimming with confidence as he gets ready for his second title defense. But the fight is not all he is confident about, and he’s ready to steal the show.
On September 14, 2024, two major combat sports events will clash. In one corner, we have Noche UFC. On the other, a highly anticipated boxing match featuring Canelo Alvarez. But O’Malley isn’t sweating the competition. In fact, he’s relishing it. The charismatic fighter recently shared his thoughts on his podcast.
“When it comes to Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, who are they talking about? Are they talking about Canelo, are they talking about the boxing fight, or are they talking about the absolute dominating, beautiful, masterful, masterclass performance I put on Merab and the viral knockout that came with it?” said O’Malley.
O’Malley faces a tough challenge in Merab Dvalishvili at UFC Noche. Yet, he’s already thinking about the aftermath. His confidence is so infectious that it’s hard not to get caught up in his enthusiasm. Canelo, on the other hand, will be fighting the undefeated Edgar Berlanga.
Both these events are vying to steal the fans from each other and come out on top. It remains to be seen whether the punching action of the Canelo fight or the full-on mixed martial arts display of UFC Noche will sway the fans more towards itself.

The charismatic fighter recently shared his ambitious plans on his podcast. His excitement was palpable as he discussed potential moves up in weight class. O’Malley’s eyes are firmly fixed on the featherweight division, where he had some words with the reigning champ Ilia Topuria.
“Figgy called me out, that could be next. Max vs Ilia is coming up, would love an opportunity to go up to 145…Max, Ilia, Nurmagomedov, Figgy, I got a lot of options,” said O’Malley.
Max Holloway and Ilia Topuria top his list of potential opponents. Both are elite fighters in the featherweight division and are set to fight at UFC 308 in Abu Dhabi for the bantamweight title. Whether he’s at bantamweight or featherweight, one thing’s for sure. ‘Suga‘ will keep us watching and wowing us with his incredible knockout prowess.
