“I’m feeling really good, man. I'm in the best shape of my life. Really, all I'm thinking about now is trying to figure out how I want to knock the kid out. It needs to be something crazy. It can't just be a right hand from the 'land of Sugar (his nickname)'. It must be something insane and in a way never seen before. Something crazy”, declared O'Malley on his channel on 'YouTube'.
O'Malley's trajectory in Ultimate has been meteoric. The athlete was discovered on 'Contender Series', a program that searches for new rising talents to fight in the UFC and after knocking out six of eight fights. Since his debut in December 2017, he has recorded five wins and just one defeat. At just 26 years old, 'Sugar' has 13 triumphs and one setback in his career.
On the other hand, Moutinho debuts with the tough mission of ending O'Malley's 'promised status' in the UFC. Currently, the American has a record of nine wins and four losses in his career. In his last appearance, which took place in May of this year, he submitted former Bellator Andrew Salas at Cage Fury Fighting Championship 96.
In addition to the fight between O'Malley and Moutinho, the UFC 264 also has the 'third chapter' of the rivalry between Conor McGregor e Dustin poirier. In the co-main fight of the night, the Brazilian Gilbert Durinho tries to recover from the defeat against Kamaru Usman for the welterweight belt (up to 77kg.) and faces Stephen Thompson.
