Sean O’Malley, left, and Marlon Vera face are set for an exciting bantamweight bout to headline UFC 299. (AP Photo/Wilfredo Lee) The moment Sean O’Malley has been waiting for since 2020 has almost arrived, as Saturday sets the stage for the 29-year-old to avenge his only loss in the headlining event of UFC 299 at Kaseya Center in Miami. A lot has changed since Marlon “Chito” Vera defeated O’Malley (17-1), who was an undefeated rising star before he took the first-round TKO four years ago. Now,… Source link

The college all-star games are under way, which means it’s officially draft season. You know what comes with draft season: mock drafts. Here’s a brand spanking new one for you beautiful readers that will lead to some healthy debate with no name-calling. Let’s be real, none of us have a crystal ball. Just trying to play out some scenarios and see what happens. Charles McDonald’s third 2023 NFL mock draft is here.

With 39 seconds remaining in Saturday night’s game and the score tied 29-29, Bills running back Devin Singletary took a handoff up the middle at the Dolphins’ 11-yard line, ran toward the end zone, and then purposely stopped and fell down at the 4-yard line. After the game, Bills coach Sean McDermott praised Singletary for not scoring. McDermott said it was smart of Singletary to recognize taht if he didn’t score a touchdown, the Dolphins would have to use their final timeout, and then… Source link

I am sick for Sean Taylor’s family. Again. Because once again the Washington Commanders franchise — to be more specific, we mean team owner Dan Snyder — exploited the memory of the beloved slain safety for cheap public relations points. Via a cheap mannequin it is calling a “permanent memorial installation.” In advance of Sunday’s home game against Atlanta, which was the 15th anniversary of the day Taylor was killed in his Miami-area home by intruders who didn’t expect the rehabbing young… Source link

Before the Super Bowl last season, Sean McVay made a telling comment about his future. NFL coaches, and everyone involved with the game really, often hold back their true feelings. McVay’s honest answer about his coaching future, and perhaps stepping away long before anyone expected, opened up a new storyline about his possible retirement before he even reached 40 years old. “I know I love football and I’m so invested in this thing and I’m in the moment right now,” McVay said. “But at some… Source link

There was a lot of complaining when Sean O’Malley, who was ranked 12th at bantamweight at the time, was given a bout against No. 1-ranked Petr Yan on the main card of UFC 280 at Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. There should be no more complaining. The man known as “The Suga Show” pulled out a gritty, gutty and bloody split decision over Yan, the former champion in a Fight of the Night type of battle. Judges had it 29-28 for O’Malley and 29-28 for Yan. O’Malley did the… Source link

This is not a rebuild I repeat: This is not a rebuild. That’s effectively what New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis has said for the past two offseasons despite losing Drew Brees to retirement after the 2020 season and then losing head coach Sean Payton after the 2021 season. “I think our team feels confident in our ability, but there’s so many variables that go into a season,” Loomis said at the start of training camp this year. “But we’re not a rebuild. This isn’t a rebuild,… Source link

Sean O’Malley and Pedro Munhoz both came up empty-handed at UFC 276. The bantamweight bout ended in a no contest after an inadvertent eye poke from O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) rendered Munhoz (19-7 MMA, 9-7 UFC) unable to see out of his right eye. The stoppage came at the 3:09 mark of Round 2. The fight opened up the UFC 276 main card at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Prior to the stoppage, the fight played out as a technical striking match with both men patient. Munhoz landed his signature… Source link

Rising bantamweight star Sean O’Malley (15-1) will face his highest ranked opponent when he steps in the octagon against Pedro Munhoz (19-7, 1 NC) at UFC 276 on July 2. O’Malley entered his last fight against Raulian Paiva in December with lingering injury that prevented him from having the training camp that he wanted heading into the fight. This time around, that isn’t the case. “I sparred the last hard sparring rounds. Three yesterday. I feel good. No injuries. Sparring is done. I couldn’t… Source link
