Sean O’Malley: Pedro Munhoz ‘robbed me of highlight-reel KO’ by faking eye poke

Sean O’Malley has doubled down on his criticism of Pedro Munhoz by accusing ‘The Young Punisher’ of faking an eye injury to avoid getting knocked out.

Their bantamweight matchup at UFC 276 ended in a controversial No Contest (NC) after O’Malley landed an accidental eye poke in the second round.

Munhoz has since revealed that he suffered a scratched cornea and can’t see properly one week after the fight. However, O’Malley isn’t convinced Munhoz is telling the truth or that he actually poked him in the eye.

‘Suga’ blasted the UFC veteran for robbing him of a highlight-reel finish and looking for an easy way out while he still had the chance.
