While Sean O’Malley’s recent comments about facing lower ranked opposition have been the major narrative in the news these past few days, just a couple weeks ago he was highlighting an entirely different part of his fight booking experience with the UFC.
On an episode of his BrO’Malley web show, the bantamweight Contender Series alumni shed some light on an interaction he had with UFC matchmakers over a planned fight booking on the promotion’s upcoming UFC 268 PPV. With the event planned to take place in New York, NY, O’Malley made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with the state’s high tax rate and necessary travel arrangements.
