Sean O’Malley blew a finish attempt in his first-round against Thomas Almeida on the UFC 260 main card, but went on to score the knockout anyway in the third act. O’Malley was pretty much in control the entire time, commanding the Octagon and sniping his adversary from afar. He hurt Almeida badly in the first round with a head kick, but walked away instead of finishing the fight. Almeida stood up, but the finish would be eventual as Sean sniffed out the knockout in the third round. This was quite a strong performance for O’Malley, and a great way to bounce back from a loss (even if he does believe he’s still undefeated).
