Sean O'Malley has admitted that he's disappointed Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury is no longer going to happen.
Appearing on an episode of The MMA Hour, O'Malley claimed he's looking forward to the rematch between Paul and Tyron Woodley. However, the 27-year-old said he's "a little upset" Fury was forced to withdraw from the highly-anticipated showdown. The surging UFC bantamweight explained:
"I'm upset a little bit because I was invested in that fight. I wanted to see Jake Paul vs. Tommy Fury. When there's so much s*** talk, you got to see who wins. But Tyron Woodley taking this – on what – seven days' notice? Eight days' notice? A little more but still that's real short notice. We'll see what kind of cardio he's in, conditioning, what kind of shape he's in. It's going to play a huge role in the fight. It's probably eight rounds again. So you know, I'm going to watch. I won't be there live but I'm watching."

Jake vs. Ben, Jake vs. Tyron, I’m gonna go to that. It’s gonna be f**king sweet. For whatever reason, I’m just super entertained by those. And I love how much s**t Jake talks ‘cause it’s like, it makes that fight so much more interesting."
