Ryan Garcia boldly steps into the spotlight, not just with his fists but with his words. On Twitter, he throws a digital jab at the UFC, stating, “I’d fight Sean O’Malley in the UFC that’s it but Dana you’d have to cut me that real check.” This tweet isn’t just a callout; it’s a challenge with a price tag attached, aimed squarely at Dana White and the UFC.
Transitioning from Twitter to Instagram, Garcia amplifies his challenge by sharing a poster of him and Suga. He tags Dana White directly, posting, “Dana Whatsup @danawhite,” signaling his seriousness about making the crossover fight a reality. This move from one platform to another showcases Garcia’s strategic use of social media to publicize his callout, ensuring it captures the attention of fans of the UFC and the UFC alike.
Meanwhile, Sean O’Malley responds, not with words, but with laughter. On his Instagram story, he shares a brief wheeze laugh, a reaction that speaks volumes. A reaction that might resonate with Dana White, who isn’t a very big fan of crossover bouts.
