Sean O’Malley wins ESPY for ‘Best UFC Fighter’ of 2024, beats out Alex Pereira, Islam Makhachev

Undisputed bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley has beaten out stiff competition in the ESPY Awards this year – besting fellow UFC champions, Alex Pereira and Islam Makhachev as the ‘Best UFC Fighter’ for 2024 – to many fan’s dismay.

O’Malley, the current undisputed bantamweight champion, is yet to book his return to action later this year – despite links to a massive showdown against surging Georgian force, Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306 in September, at The Las Vegas Sphere.

Winning Octagon spoils back in August of last year, Montana striker, O’Malley turned in a one-sided win over former champion, Aljamain Sterling, ending the Uniondale native’s record-setting run with a blistering second round knockout win in Boston.
