Sean O’Malley Sparring With Adin Ross Called Out for ‘Exaggeration’ as UFC Fans Go Up in Arms – “Should Have Gone Sean Strickland on Him”

Streamers are everywhere. First, we saw Sean Strickland unleash all hell on Sneako. And now, yet another streamer has taken on yet another Sean. That’s right, in a recent video, fans witnessed as Adin Ross went up against the bantamweight champion of the world.

The recent video surfaced and almost instantly went viral. In it, Sean O’Malley can be seen wearing sparring gear alongside Ross who is quite obviously outmatched up against the champ and goes down to the mat pretty quickly. But of course, there were differences.

When Strickland sparred Sneako, it was a one-sided beatdown for the streamer. Strickland unleashed a barrage of punches and struck many to the head even as towels were thrown asking for the fight to stop. Strickland kept going trying to knock the streamer out.

Many called the level of intensity unnecessary on the former middleweight champion’s part. On the other hand, Sean O’Malley took it easy with his streaming compatriot. While he clearly managed to defeat him in the given video, he didn’t go too far with it.

He didn’t overwhelm him with devastating strikes nor did he pressure him to the point where he couldn’t defend himself. It was evident that Sean O’Malley was taking it as a very light sparring session and fans were there for it. Here’s how they analyzed the situation.
