UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley wasn’t a fan of what former middleweight champion Sean Strickland did to social media influencer Sneako during their sparring session.
“I thought it was f**ked up,” O’Malley said on the Timbo Sugar Show. “His corner gave up.” If someone came in here and wanted me to f**king peck around with them because I’m a professional, I’m a champ and they want to get a little taste of what it’s like, I’m not going to – Did you see how hard he was trying to hurt him?”
“They gave up and he was clearly quit. He was clearly balling. O’Malley added, “He still tried to just hurt him.” “I don’t like hurting people. But I do like certain areas, like that.”
In one situation, O’Malley would not have objected to Strickland slapping an untrained opponent.
“Also, if Sneako was talking sh*t at all then it changes it. It changes everything. If someone was talking sh*t and then they want to come spar and I agree then it’s different. O’Malley said, “If someone says, ‘I’m just looking to like peck at the ground,’ then it’s different. “I think it depends if Sneako was talking sh*t and acting like he could do something. It’s then different. Then, it’s different.
