“I'm not the biggest name, nor the biggest pay-per-view yet. I never got to headline a numbered event, but I bet that whoever is in the UFC looking at numbers and potential, looks at me and knows who the 'daddy' is. I said this on 'Contender Series,' that I would be bigger than (Conor) McGregor. I remember really believing it. I see there aren't many fighters bigger than me right now. Say what you want, but who's bigger than me now? I could lead a numbered event right now, with the right opponent. Not with some of these idiots who are challenging me. You need to have a good dance partner,” O’Malley said.

Twelfth in the bantamweight rankings, 'Sugar' has been riding on three consecutive victories, all in 2021. The North American defeated in succession Thomas almeida, Kris moutinho e Raulian paiva. The fighter has a record of 15 triumphs and only one setback in professional MMA.
