Sean O’Malley recently beat Kris Moutinho by TKO on the main card of UFC 264. Moutinho was making his UFC debut in that fight, filling in on short notice for O’Malley’s previously scheduled opponent Louis Smolka.
The win over Moutinho took O’Malley’s UFC record to 7-1 (14-1 overall) and followed his win over Thomas Almeida at UFC 260 in March. O’Malley’s other recent UFC wins have come over Eddie Wineland and Jose Alberto Quinonez. His lone pro loss was a TKO defeat to Marlon Vera last year.
Recently O’Malley appeared on the No Jumper podcast where he explained his philosophy on picking fights and revealed why he’s unlikely to take a big step up in competition at this point in his career.
