World Wrestling Champion Stevan Micic and UFC Champ Sean O’Malley Engage in a Friendly Belt Showdown

The Paris Olympics are just 178 days away and the Olympic trials for various sports are going to commence very soon. While this is prompting athletes to ramp up their training, it is also making them have the most fun they can with their remaining time. However, when it comes to World Wrestling Champ Stevan Micic, he is smoothly cruising with both.

Stevan Micic won the first world wrestling championship for himself and his home nation of Serbia in 2023. Fans have noticed the 57kg grappler enjoy himself as well as train himself via both traditional and unorthodox methods. Interestingly, a recent social media post showcased Micic dabble in another unorthodox and fun session with UFC Champ Sean O’Malley.

World title holders train and grapple together

Stevan Micic added a new post to his Instagram, sharing the frame with O’Malley. The post carried the caption, “Got some belts to defend great work today, @sugasean is ready.” The image showcased the world wrestling champ and the UFC champ showing off their golden belts together.

Interestingly, Micic even flaunted his recently won gold medal at Belgrade in 2023. Notably, had this picture been taken last year, the wrestling champ would’ve displayed his bronze medal from Belgrade 2022. Now, after moving up in his world championship achievements, he will look forward to landing an Olympic gold as well.

Fans were delighted to see both their favorite fighters together and commented about their legendary status. While these looks like a fun post from Stevan Micic, he is actually working on his wrestling skills. In fact, his meeting with O’Malley comes right after his visit to his alma mater to improve himself to an Olympic level.

Wrestling all the way to get the gold in Paris

Stevan Micic recently returned to the US from Serbia and went straight to the University of Michigan. The former Michigan Wolverines wrestling star met head coach Sean Bormet to work on his skills to stand on par with seasoned Olympians. Notably, Micic’s highest NCAA medal was a silver, and his first world medal was a silver as well.

But, it is evident that the 57kg wrestling champ doesn’t want Paris to be a bronze stepping stone for him as well. After all, unlike the world championships, the Olympics come once every four years, and Micic wants it to count its weight in gold. Do you think that Stevan Micic will be able to achieve his Olympic dream in Paris?
