Holds serve at White House O'Malley defeated Aiemann Zahabi via TKO (punches) at 4:02 of Round 2 at UFC Freedom 250 on Sunday in Washington DC.
Impact It sure felt as if the UFC put O'Malley in this spot in hopes of getting him a highlight reel knockout win and if that was indeed the plan, it worked to perfection. The fight prior to the stoppage was largely underwhelming. O'Malley did some decent work on the feet, while Zahabi did next to nothing other than fire off a ton of low kicks. The finish came late in Round 2 after O'Malley unleashed a gorgeous two-shot combination which found the mark. After the bout, "Suga" predictably called for a shot at Petr Yan's UFC Bantamweight Championship. O'Malley did defeat Yan via split decision when the two first fought back in October 2022, although that result is largely seen as one of the biggest robberies in UFC history. It remains to be seen if the company will turn to O'Malley next, or award Merab Dvalisvili an immediate rematch for the belt.

Announced for White House card O'Malley will take on Aimann Zahabi in a bantamweight matchup at the UFC White House card scheduled for June 14.
Impact After back-to-back title fight losses to Merab Dvalishvili, O'Malley got back on track with a decision win over Song Yadong on the UFC's first Paramount card in January. While he wasn't necessarily dominant there, he remains one of the most recognizable names in the company, so it was a no-brainer to feature him on the UFC's marquee event of 2026. He now draws an opponent in Zahabi who is riding a seven-fight winning streak, though the caliber of opponent has been questionable, and he saw his momentum halted by a forearm injury last October. Zahabi also isn't much of a finisher, with only two in 10 UFC fights and four-straight bouts going to the judges. Assuming this fight stays standing, which is likely due to Zahabi's lack of wrestling pedigree, O'Malley should have a big striking advantage. Effectively, it's no surprise to see him open as a betting favorite in the ballpark of (-350).

JANUARY 25 • SPORTSKEEDA.COM
Rebounds with decision victory O'Malley defeated Song Yadong via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) at UFC 324 on Saturday in Las Vegas.
Impact Fresh off another lopsided loss in a title fight against then-champion Merab Dvalishvili last June, O'Malley found himself in a competitive fight here that could have gone either way. Sean didn't do much for the first two rounds, struggling to close the distance between he and Song and allowing three takedowns on seven attempts. He floored the gas pedal in Round 3, winning the frame easily and looking darn good doing it, and luckily for him, all three judges gave him a tightly-contested Round 1. The fact Merab is no longer champion is certainly good news for O'Malley in terms of earning another title shot, but it's hard to argue he's most deserving of another opportunity than the likes of Dvalishvili or fellow top challenger Umar Nurmagomedov.
