Sean O’Malley just put a bomb on Thomas Almeida’s chin.
At UFC 260, O’Malley was back to his best to rebound from his first career loss last time out, and the ‘Suga Show’ was back in full force. Using his excellent footwork and feints, O’Malley had Almeida in trouble on numerous occasions throughout their bout, and nearly even got the walk-off knockout in the first round.
When that didn’t work out, O’Malley kept the pressure on before dropping Almeida again in the third before landing an absolute pearler of a right hand to put Almeida’s lights out.
Absolute precision from @SugaSeanMMA in RD 1 🤯

It was a return to form for the up and coming bantamweight, and will likely bring the hype right back to his name.
