A biography for Sean O'Malleyhasn’t been written yet.
“I'm definitely looking for smart fights - people that are going to up me.”
“I believe Petr will bring the best out of me. I thought Pedro Munhoz was going to. People talk about that fight - wasn't blah, blah, blah. He didn't hit me once. It wasn't going his way, let's just say that.”
“Once you start fighting the best guys in the world, you're going to fight nothing but the best guys in the world.”
“I like to think of myself as a very, very high-level striker.”
“Like, there has to be a massive fight for me to watch the UFC. I would rather play 'Call of Duty,' for the most part.”
“What I'm looking for is to be in the top 10.”
“I'm the biggest fight - obviously. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out; anybody I fight is going to be the biggest fight in the division.”
“When I'm 40, I'm gonna look back, and I really, really hope I won't regret anything.”
“That's a fight that I think would be a massive fight: 'The Suga Show' vs. Jose Aldo. I think that would be a crazy fight. That would probably be the one fight where I'd be standing across the cage like 'what... that's crazy.'”
“I've always moved different than a lot of people move.”
“You just have to get as good as you can at what you're good at to excel in the sport.”
“I don't really care if it's a top 10 guy, a top 15 guy, a bum on the street. I'm gonna get paid the same. Whoever I beat up, I'm getting paid the same. Don't care.”
“You can't pick beef with someone below your weight class.”
“I understand jujitsu. I've been doing it for a long time.”
“I get a little crap for that like, 'You've never been to Ireland,' and I haven't and I would love to go, but my last name is O'Malley and I am Irish and how could you not love the Irish fans?”
“The UFC needs a champion like me.”
“I think every year, each division is going to get deeper and deeper and deeper.”
“I feel like I'm in a position where if you want me to fight in New York, and I don't want to fight in New York, I'm not gonna fight in New York.”
“I don't think of Chito as the best grapple in the world. I do think of him as a high level grappler. But I trained with high level grapplers, so I don't think he's going to surprise me with anything.”
“I always want to see the biggest fights. Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz is the biggest fight.”
