Sean O'Malley Fires at People Demanding a Late Comeback: “June would be the latest”

The former UFC bantamweight champion has faced a tough loss after a considerable amount of time – the MMA community and fan pressure are currently requesting him to stay out of the fight game for a long and take time off to reflect and recover.

In response, Sean O’Malley wants everyone to know that he wants to give his all while he can, and considering his age he wants to put on as many performances as possible. According to him, June 2025 seems to be the ideal month to return but he doesn't mind returning a little earlier.

If unibrow and Merab don’t fight by the end of the year I’m fighting Merab in March. suck my sac if you don’t like that. — Sean O'Malley (@SugaSeanMMA) October 8, 2024

Sean O’Malley on his return

In a recent YouTube video, Sean O’Malley shared his thoughts on making a return.

“Got surgery Thursday, today’s Saturday, it’s been * two days,” O’Malley said, as quoted by mmafighting.com. “I feel * great. I feel great. I’m going to come back better than ever, I’m going to be back next week to sparring.

No, I’m going to do everything right. I’m going to recover as fast as I possibly can. Everyone’s like, ‘Don’t come back too soon.’ I’m coming back the right amount of soon, but I want to be back ASAP.

I want to get these fights in while I’m still young enough. I turn 30 this month, so I want to recover, do everything right, but I want to get back in there April, May, June latest. June would be the latest. I think I can be back before that.

March maybe even would be crazy, but who knows? I’m just going with the flow, day by day”.
