"Yeah I felt like I took winning for granted for a while. Feel like I just never lost, never lost, never lost, now coming off two losses it's like man. It really feels good to win,"
"I don't usually get like that. Usually after a win I just kind of, you know, I just feel like I was always going to win. Coming off those losses I was definitely...felt good."
"I feel like the first two rounds he took me down at the end of both of them, but he didn't really do anything. I didn't even know I got hit. Tim (Welch) said there was a video he hit me with like a left hook, but I just feel like I didn't even take any damage,"
"He looked really good. I'm gonna have to show up ready to go five rounds, focused, improve outside of camp. Petr Yan is the champ for a reason. He's one of my favorite fighters to watch so I'd love to compete against him again,"
Sean O'Malley acknowledged taking winning for granted during a prolonged unbeaten stretch and found the recent victory especially satisfying after two losses. He circled the Octagon with calm confidence and raised his hands to the crowd before the judges' scorecards were read. He noted takedowns at the end of the first two rounds but reported no meaningful damage, mentioning a possible left hook he did not feel. He attributed some soreness to his own kicks. He praised Petr Yan, expressed interest in a rematch, and emphasized the need for a focused, strong five-round camp.
