Sean O’Malley is quite interested in Umar Nurmagomedov. We have repeatedly witnessed, ‘Suga’ in conversation about Umar Nurmadomedov’s skills. Interstingly, O’Malley shared a rather peculiar moment with the Dagestani when they met each other in the restroom. According to O’Malley, Umar Nurmagomedov was washing his feet on the sink and was left flabbergasted by the scene.

While in a conversation in a podcast, O’Malley revealed his interaction with Umar Nurmagoemdov. He said, “I saw Umar in the bathroom. I swear to God, that motherfucker was washing his feet. Like, I have a weird, like, did he just wash his shoe off and his foot at a 90-degree angle? I thought he was washing his feet. He then said, “Thank you.” I asked, “For what?” And he said, “I heard you talked good about me, said I was a good fighter.” Which he is”

He further added “I said, “You know what? We’re gonna fight someday. You’re gonna make it to the top with Big Daddy, and we’re gonna fight someday.” And then, it was good. Dude, I swear to God I saw him sleeping. I saw him sleeping on Ali’s shoulders at the fight. Bro, I don’t know, the motherf***er was passed out like he just got back from Dagestan, wrestling a bear in the jet.”

The weird standoff between Umar Nurmagomedov and Sean O’Malley turned out to be a bit funny. It must be noted that Nurmagomedov is a Muslim and he must have been washing his feet for prayer. Nonetheless, O’Malley is about to fight soon and according to him, he gifted the title shot to Marlon Vera.

There’s guys [that] deserve [it]: Cory [Sandhagen], Merab [Dvalishvili] – you could argue those guys deserve a title fight over ‘Chito.’ I went out there and knocked out the greatest bantamweight of all time. I said ‘Hey, I want one thing. Let me have the ‘Chito’ rematch.’ I’ve never asked for it. I’ve never really asked for anything. Let me have this ‘Chito’ fight.I never went to bed at night thinking I have to fight ‘Chito’ again. If he can get close enough to where I can offer him a title fight…I’ll give you the rematch.
