Sean O'Malley reveals he declined invitation to meet Russian warlord Ramzan Kadyrov along with Henry Cejudo and Justin Gaethje

During a recent episode of his podcast, UFC bantamweight Sean O'Malley revealed that he along with his fellow fighters Justin Gaethje and Henry Cejudo were invited to attend Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov's son's birthday party.

'Sugar', however, decided not to make the trip as he felt uneasy at the prospect of visiting Chechnya at the behest of "a murderer":

"The reason we never ended up going is because we were saying who is this for and we didn't really get an answer. So I'm like fu*k that... They [Cejudo and Gaethje] went over to like Chechnya, the guy [Ramzan Kadyrov] is like a murderer basically, the top dog, best friend with [Vladimir] Putin. Not like a good person... They went there to his kid's birthday party and that's where I got invited to go."

During the podcast, O'Malley also trashed Cejudo, saying that 'Triple C' probably accepted the warlord's invitation to earn a nice payday:

"You're broke and someone offers you a hundred and fifty thousand, I bet Henry jumped all over. He probably said I'll do it for a hundred thousand and a fu**ing quesadilla."

Earlier this November, Henry Cejudo, Justin Gaethje, and Kamaru Usman were photographed firing guns at the Russian Special Forces University in Chechnya. The trio also reportedly attended Kadyrov's teenage son's birthday party during the visit.

The fighters have since faced severe backlash on social media.

@Justin_Gaethje At least he’s not sucking off Chechen dictator Ramzan Kadyrov. https://t.co/DeTKac87dZ

Sean O'Malley says that Raul Rosas Jr.'s high self-confidence is not without merit

After his first-round submission win against Jay Perrin at UFC 282, Raul Rosas Jr. requested the UFC to fast-track his career by feeding him higher-level competition. No.1-ranked bantamweight Sean O'Malley thinks that the teenager's high self-confidence is not without merit.

This man was born in 2004 & he has a win in his UFC debut 🤯

Raul Rosas Jr is a PROBLEM 💪 #UFC282 https://t.co/HIXC9XNhmL

During the same podcast, the 28-year-old praised Rosas Jr. for his impressive UFC debut. 'Sugar' suggested that the teenager was probably a better fighter at 18 than he was at that age:

"He might be [as good as he thinks he is]. When I was 18, I probably couldn't have beat that guy. I mean I doubt I could have beat the guy he just beat when I was 18. So maybe he is just confident because he knows how good he is."
