Sean O’Malley is getting tired of the constant comparisons to Paddy Pimblett, declaring that their recent wins over Petr Yan and Jared Gordon were not the same.
Although both victories were considered controversial, ‘Suga’ fought a much higher-ranked opponent than Pimblett and proved that he belongs in the upper echelon of the UFC, winning over fans with his gutsy performance against a former champion of the sport.
Pimblett, by comparison, struggled against an unranked fighter, with most MMA outlets scoring the bout in favor of Gordon, who has requested an immediate rematch.
During a recent episode of his podcast, O’Malley highlighted the key differences between his win over Yan and Pimblett’s victory over Gordon, being careful not to discredit Pimblett or belittle his latest performance.
