"I got to have a f--ng beautiful KO. It's just like there is no other option. Winning a decision is a loss. If I win a decision, take me out of the rankings. I need a f--ing finish here."
"O'Malley (19-3) has finished six of his 11 UFC wins so far. While he is known for being a sniper on the feet, O'Malley's last stoppage win was in 2023, when he knocked out Aljamain Sterling to win the bantamweight title."
Sean O'Malley faces Aiemann Zahabi on June 14 at UFC White House with an unconventional mindset: he views a decision victory as a loss and has requested removal from rankings if he fails to secure a finish. The former UFC bantamweight champion emphasizes the necessity of a knockout, stating there is no other acceptable outcome. O'Malley's record stands at 19-3 with six UFC finishes among his 11 victories. His last stoppage came in 2023 when he defeated Aljamain Sterling for the bantamweight title. Following title defenses and losses to Merab Dvalishvili, O'Malley recently rebounded with a decision win over Yadong Song at UFC 324 in January.
