Ryan Garcia challenges Sean O'Malley to an MMA fight
While Sean O'Malley has expressed interest in a high-profile boxing match, calling out Gervonta Davis, Devin Haney and Ryan Garcia, the latter responded by calling for a mixed martial arts bout. Speaking to Ariel Helwani of The MMA Hour, 'KingRy' stated:
"I'll beat his a** in MMA, guaranteed. I'm a natural, you don't understand, I'm a natural wrestler. I just beat my security that's a wrestler. I beat him. I'm strong and I got crazy conditioning... I know I'm going to knock him out in boxing. That's not even fair."
He added:
"What is fair is to test myself in MMA because I know if I put my mind to it and I trained everyday and I had Nate [Diaz] helping me, even Alex Pereira, all of them and I really locked in, he will not beat me. I will come with everything I have and I will destory Sean O'Malley. In the UFC. I've already sent text messages to Dana [White]... I'll come to the UFC. Pay me a bag, I'm there. I'm down to do it after I beat Haney."
