Sean O’Malley Says He Offered To Fight Anyone on UFC’s White House Card

O’Malley said he pushed hard for a spot on the UFC’s June 14 White House event, telling matchmakers he would fight “anybody,” even naming Ilia Topuria, Islam Makhachev, and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Instead, the former bantamweight champion drew Aiemann Zahabi. O’Malley called the historic card a once-in-a-lifetime chance and said the late-notice booking still made perfect sense to him.
