Morning Report: Sean O’Malley believes he’d knock out Cody Garbrandt but ‘there’s no way he takes that fight’

On Saturday night at UFC 250, Sean O’Malley put on the best performance of his career to date, knocking out former WEC champion Eddie Wineland in the first round. It was a highlight reel knockout that looked to be the talk of the event, until it was overshadowed just a few fights later when former UFC bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt finished Raphael Assuncao with one of the best KOs of the year. Garbrandt’s KO was so good, even O’Malley had to tip the hat to him, and now “Suga” seems interested in a bout with Garbrandt, if “No Love” will take it.
