UFC bantamweight champion [autotag]Sean O’Malley[/autotag] is always seeking big fights.
O’Malley (17-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) has goals of becoming the sport’s most lucrative name, and a name he’s interested in fighting is undefeated boxing legend [autotag]Floyd Mayweather[/autotag].
Mayweather dominated John Gotti III in an eight-round exhibition this past Saturday in Mexico City, and the 47-year-old still is planning a few more. O’Malley hopes he can share the ring with Mayweather some day in an exhibition match.
“The first couple of highlights I watched from like, Round 1 and 3, Floyd was piecing him up, looking good as f*ck,” O’Malley said on his “TimboSugarShow” podcast. “Like pull 2’s, like it was f*cking pretty sick. Me vs Floyd? I would love that. That would be crazy. Just get him right at the end, f*cking put him out, put him in. Exhibition sh*t? One hundred percent.”
O’Malley defends his 135-pound title against Merab Dvalishvili (17-4 MMA, 10-2 UFC) in the UFC 306 main event Sept. 14 at Sphere in Las Vegas. He has plans to compete in boxing, targeting names such as Gervonta Davis and Ryan Garcia.
