Sean O'Malley and Jake Paul's recent interactions
Sean O'Malley and 'The Problem Child' are no strangers to each other as Jake Paul has interacted with the UFC champion in several capacities. The two did a faceoff with one another early in the Summer which picked up a level of traction online. Both fighters discussed fighting each other at UFC 303 to fill the then-vacant main event spot.
This was when Conor McGregor pulled out of his Michael Chandler fight due to an injury and before the UFC booked a light heavyweight title rematch between champion Alex Pereira and Jiri Prochazka for the new main event.
The 29-year-old is also involved in business endeavors with Paul as the UFC titleholder is a co-owner of Paul's men's care personal brand W. Sean O'Malley had worked in another dig at his next challenger with that W announcement when he stated how Merab Dvalishvili was stinky and could benefit from some deodorant from the burgeoning brand.
'Suga' also spoke relatively recently on his YouTube channel about the upcoming boxing bout between Paul and Mike Tyson. O'Malley mentioned how he could see Paul finishing Tyson the same way that 'The Problem Child' finished Mike Perry during their July fight.
The Montana native mentioned how he seemed more keen on Paul going back to calling out MMA fighters for boxing matches in 2025 and beyond. O'Malley mentioned liking that Paul called out the aforementioned Alex Pereira after the Perry win.
The popular mixed martial artist thinks the combat sports disruptor has found a strong formula with the UFC champ mentioning he loves seeing those crossover fights with mixed martial artists under Queensberry Rules.
