"“Imagine having the opportunity of a lifetime, set up by me perfectly to back your fellow American and call your shot but the moment passes you by because you are simply 'too cool' ... we'll all be on our death bed one day... hopefully he doesn't regret that...”"
"Hokit and O'Malley are both a part of the UFC Freedom 250 scheduled for June 14 at the White House. Hokit and O'Malley recently shared the dais during a UFC Freedom 250 pre-fight press conference at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey."
"Hokit, who is playing the UFC's latest heel, targeted Derrick Lewis and Alex Pereira at the press conference. Ilia Topuria stood up in Pereira's defense and ended up having a back-and-forth with Hokit, who was then escorted out of the media event. Meanwhile, O'Malley sat through it all unfazed right between Hokit and Topuria."
"While Hokit (9-0) is scheduled to fight Lewis (29-13) in a heavyweight matchup at UFC Freedom 250, O'Malley (19-3) takes on Aiemann Zahabi (14-2) in a bantamweight tilt on the same card. Meanwhile, Topuria (17-0) puts his lightweight title on the line against interim champion Justin Gaethje (27-5) in the main event. O'Malley was not asked a single question at the recent press conference."
Josh Hokit said Sean O'Malley missed a chance Hokit set up for a future matchup against Ilia Topuria. Hokit targeted Derrick Lewis and Alex Pereira at a UFC Freedom 250 pre-fight press conference, where Topuria defended Pereira and had a back-and-forth with Hokit, leading to Hokit being escorted out. O'Malley remained unfazed and did not engage during the exchange. Hokit claimed O'Malley had an opportunity to back a fellow American and call a shot, but the moment passed because O'Malley was “too cool.” Hokit is scheduled to fight Derrick Lewis at UFC Freedom 250, while O'Malley fights Aiemann Zahabi, and Topuria defends his lightweight title against Justin Gaethje.
