Cody Garbrandt fires back at Sean O’Malley: My KO was ‘way better’

Has Cody Garbrandt took the bait?

Earlier this week, Sean O’Malley compared his highlight reel KO of Eddie Wineland at UFC 250 to Cody Garbrandt’s second-round knockout of Raphael Assuncao, with ‘Sugar’ implying that his finish was much more technical.

“There’s levels to striking,” O’Malley said after imitating Garbrandt’s wind-up right hand in a video parody.

O’Malley was clearly fishing for a response, and Garbrandt seemed happy to oblige.

Speaking to TMZ Sports in a recent interview, ‘No Love’ fired back at O’Malley by claiming that his KO of Assuncao was ‘way better’ and far more vicious.
