UFC 299’s Sean O’Malley addresses the downward spiral of Ryan Garcia: ‘Cocaine’s a hell of a drug’

Closing in on his first UFC bantamweight title defense this Saturday, March 8, Sean O’Malley offered his take on the bizarre behavior exhibited by boxing star Ryan Garcia.

During a recent appearance on The MMA Hour, Garcia claimed that he would “destroy” O’Malley inside the Octagon, sparking a back-and-forth between the two. It was certainly nothing out of the ordinary for two of combat sports’ biggest stars, but in the subsequent days, Garcia’s antics became increasingly confusing and downright concerning. It all started with an incomprehensible post on social media referencing his own death followed by a video explanation that posed more questions than it provided answers.
