Sean O’Malley nearly had two walk off finishes at UFC 260 but ultimately he still managed to dish out a brutal knockout to dispatch Thomas Almeida on Saturday night.
The always outspoken bantamweight nearly finished Almeida in the first round with a head kick followed by a devastating left hook but referee Mark Smith allowed the action to continue. Almost the same exact scenario played out in the third round with O’Malley sending Almeida to the ground with a brutal left hand but again the referee didn’t see enough to stop it.
