UFC former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley recently underwent surgery after losing his title, but the fighter seems to have made a quick recovery.
O’Malley suffered a decision loss to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306. “Suga” lost his championship title and also sustained an injury after the five-round bout. The fighter announced that he would be taking a year-long break from the cage due to his injury, as he is required to get surgery, but it seems the fighter has made a swift recovery.
O’Malley recently announced that he may be making a comeback to the cage after his surgery.
“I got surgery Thursday,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel. “Today is Saturday. It’s been f*cking two days. I feel f*cking great. I’m going to come back better than ever. I’ll be back next week to sparring. I do think I am going to do everything right. I’m going to recover as fast as I possibly can, and I’m going to get back. Everyone is like, ‘Don’t come back too soon.
“I’m coming back the right amount of soon. I want to be back ASAP. I want to get these fights in while I’m still young enough. I turn 30 this month. But, I want to recover, do everything right, but I want to get back in there April, May, June latest. And, I think I can be back before that. March even would be crazy, but who knows? I’m just going with the flow, day by day.”
The UFC star’s return will be a big hit for the promotion as he will garner enough views and sell more tickets for PPV events. It is unsure who the fighter will face next, but many believe he will get the next big name in the division and may have a rematch bout to reclaim his title.
