Sean O'Malley denies calling Bryce Mitchell "inbred"
Sean O'Malley and Bryce Mitchell have traded words online after 'Thug Nasty' sided with Petr Yan in his pre-fight prediction of O'Malley vs. Yan at UFC 280 that took place on October 22.
'Sugar' allegedly responded to Mitchell's video and indirectly called him an inbred. O'Malley's comments were picked up by the No.9-ranked UFC featherweight, who responded in an interview with James Lynch. 'Thug Nasty' said that he would confront Sean O'Malley about his comments whenever their paths cross.
Mitchell's comments have now forced O'Malley to post a tweet claiming that he never called him an "inbred."
"Never called brice an inbred"

"I'm gonna deal with that when I see him."

O'Malley currently competes at bantamweight, while Bryce Mitchell competes at featherweight. However, 'Sugar' has come out and said that he is planning on moving up to 145 lbs at some point in his career. He believes that his versatile build will allow him to naturally move up a weight class when the time is right.
Sean O'Malley claims that no one "really cares" about Henry Cejudo's comeback
Sean O'Malley is currently the No.1-ranked bantamweight in the UFC after his victory over Petr Yan at UFC 280. 'Sugar' was able to edge out a split decision, and his next opponent is already being discussed.
Former UFC double-champ Henry Cejudo has claimed that he is eager to come out of retirement and has called out Sean O'Malley and the current bantamweight champion, Aljamain Sterling.
Whilst discussing what lies ahead for him on The BrOmalley Show, 'Sugar' claimed that no one cares about Cejudo's comeback:
"I just don't think anyone takes Henry [Cejudo] serious. I don't think anyone really cares if he comes back. Henry vs. Aljo [Sterling], it would be a sweet fight, I'd watch it. But it's not a money fight. Me vs. Chito [Vera] is a way bigger fight, me vs. Aljo is a way bigger fight."
