Sean O’Malley recognizes that Umar Nurmagomedov presents one of the toughest tests in the bantamweight division. Still, ‘Sugar’ is confident that he’d “chin” undefeated Dagestani standout should they meet inside the Octagon.
Following his big win over Cory Sandhagen in Abu Dhabi, the 18-0 Nurmagomedov said he was “ashamed” of having O’Malley as the bantamweight division’s top dog.
Responding to the Dagestani’s comment during a recent episode of his TimboSugarShow podcast with coach Tim Welch, O’Malley gave Nurmagomedov his props but remains confident he can put the unbeaten contender’s lights out should their paths cross.
