Sean O'Malley wants in on UFC White House | MMA News
UFC matchmakers may have a long record of fighters to select from when they start placing together the combat card for the next yr’s UFC event at the White House.
Several high-profile fighters on the combat promotion’s roster have requested to be half of the combat card, and former champions have expressed the willingness to come out of retirement to compete at the event.
UFC CEO Dana White would really like Conor McGregor to headline. Former two-division champion Jon Jones has all but begged to be featured. On Monday, former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley threw his identify in the hat.
“I would absolutely love to be on that card,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel. “Regardless, I want to fight within the next four or five moths, whatever it is. And then I’ll also be ready for that (White House event) because they said it could be June. It could be International Fight Week, said it could be July.”
“If I can get one in early next year, end of this year, one of the two, count me in,” O’Malley continued. “I want to be on that card. I mean, being on the Sphere card, being on the White House card, these are legendary moments. They’re once in a lifetime f**king moments.”
