Brawl of champions! Sean O’Malley releases video in which he takes down Pantoja; understand

One of the most popular fighters in MMA today, Sean O’Malley He collects enemies and one of them is Alexandre Pantoja, largely due to an episode from the past. And, after watching the victory of the flyweight leader (57 kg) at UFC Rio, an event held last Saturday (4), the bantamweight champion (61 kg) rekindled the rivalry by provoking him, remembering what supposedly happened in a training session.

It all started when ‘Sugar’ stated that, at the beginning of his career, he caused damage to the Brazilian in sparring in 2018, and detailed that he gave up on continuing after receiving a kick to the waistline. In response, Pantoja denied having been knocked out by the American, demanded the release of the full video, stressed that he dominated him on the ground and promised to ‘kill him’ in a possible superfight. Now, O’Malley claimed that he did not start the disagreement with the veteran, but, on his ‘YouTube’ channel, he released a record in which he took him down. And, before, to illustrate his point, the athlete, via social media, published an image of his rival apparently in bad shape, crouched down and with his hands on his knees.

“Alright guys, I don’t like releasing sparring videos, but Pantoja can’t get my name out of his mouth. I didn’t even mention it initially. Pantoja brought it up. I don’t know why he brought it up. I literally finished him off in the first round with a kick to the liver. He literally gave up in the first roundso him talking about sparring is bizarre. I won’t show the ending, because that’s mean. But I’ll show you. Taking him down was easy (laughs). Congratulations, friend”, declared the UFC champion.
