When O’Malley talks about his grappling exploits, it’s a question of fact, as if he’s just facing a few guys. But he knew who he was facing in the trio of Gomi, Melendez and Lombard, and the respect is evident. It’s just that O’Malley looks pretty tough in the gym every day, so he’s not going to be intimidated by anyone.
“I know exactly who they are and how good they are, but I train with this high level of guys every day, so it wasn’t like I was going there and it was ‘Holy Cow’ . I train with Augusto Mendes, who has just won the ADCC world championships at my weight, so I train with the best motherf ** kers in grappling. So it was like going there and training with a few other good guys. The entire Quintet was a great experience. “
And it reminded him of what awaits him this Saturday. “The Sugar Show” is back, and no one has missed seeing Sean O’Malley in the Octagon more than Sean O’Malley, who has all of his plans for Mr. Quinonez.
“I feel like the guy is going to stand in front of me and see a different speed than he has ever known before, and it will open his eyes,” he said. “I know it’s tough; I won’t be able to hit him on the chin once and he’ll fall. I’m going to have to hit him a lot on the chin, and that’s what I’m going to do. “
