Sean O'Malley Makes Bold Statement On Potential Fight With Henry Cejudo
Sean O'Malley has his immediate sights set on Marlon Vera, but he has a strong message for Henry Cejudo.
O'Malley, the newly-minted UFC bantamweight champion, has had his share of barbs with other 135-pounders. One of them is former two-division champion Cejudo. The two have gone back-and-forth on social media and it's led to some entertaining banter.

O'Malley has said he's interested in fighting "Chito" Vera next in an attempt to avenge the lone loss of his pro MMA career. With that said, he's still taking digs at "Triple C."
During an episode of the "TimboSugarShow," Sean O'Malley criticized Henry Cejudo's social media game.
"I'm just eating up Henry and he tries so hard to tweet funny stuff and it's just, like, there's some a little bit of hee hee to it, but it's just so bad," O'Malley said. "What do you expect from someone that short, you know what I mean? He tries so hard and he's asking his buddy, 'Hey, do you have anything funny I can tweet?' I'm just f*cking firing off tweets, just roasting him up and there's nothing he can do about it."
The "Sugar" show then made a bold statement about one aspect of MMA that he feels he's better at than Cejudo.
"I'm just a better wrestler than Henry," O'Malley said. "I proved that. Numbers don't lie, I am a better wrestler than Henry and it is what it is."
Most would argue that it's O'Malley's striking that nets him an advantage, while Cejudo is clearly the better wrestler. Of course, O'Malley is known for getting under the skin of his potential opponents.
