Max Holloway Says Petr Yan’s Belt Return Re-Motivated Sean O’Malley

Holloway sees a spark in O’Malley heading into UFC 324. “Sean seems in great spirits… remotivated since Petr Yan took the bantamweight belt back,” he said. O’Malley fights Song Yadong this Saturday, and Holloway thinks a statement win matters: “If he can finish Song, he’s getting the title shot.” O'Malley lost the title to Merab in 2024 and 2025 back-to-back.
