Dana White readily pays $100 to a reporter for guessing a phone call he received about Sean O'Malley

A question posed to UFC president Dana White regarding the title fight between Sean O'Malley and current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling led to a humorous interaction during the UFC Vegas 73 post-fight press conference.

White was asked whether the bantamweight title fight was still on for UFC 292. The UFC president went on to share that he received a phone call from a certain fighter, saying that Sterling would drop out of the fight.

White then asked the journalists in attendance to guess the name of the fighter in three attempts and offered to reward $100 to the person with the correct guess.

Journalist Amy Kaplan named Henry Cejudo as her first guess and hit the bullseye. The UFC president instantly got up and took out $100 from his pocket to give to Kaplan.

Dana just gave me $100 😆

Sean O'Malley responds to Aljamain Sterling's comments on The MMA Hour

UFC's rising star Sean O'Malley has reacted to bantamweight king Aljamain Sterling's comments about August not being ideal for their fight. In a recent episode of The BroMalley Show, 'Suga' said that he will show up for the fight on August 19, regardless of whether his opponent is Sterling or someone else.

"I'm showing up August 19th, whether [Sterling] shows up or they put someone else in there. Daddy's main eventing, headlining for the belt regardless, whether it's [Sterling] or not."

O'Malley is arguably the biggest name in the current UFC bantamweight roster. If 'Suga' manages to defeat Sterling at UFC 292, then the 28-year-old has the potential to become one of the biggest stars in the multi-billion dollar promotion.
