O’Malley revealed, “It’s so crazy though if you’re a judge and you never felt checked kick because when I fought Pedro, I swear like I felt his foot land on my shin. And I felt like I was fucking him up when he was kicking me. And then the judges gave him the first round. He didn’t punch me face once I had more significant strikes.”
