But that didn't deter O'Malley, who has knocked out nearly all his opponents since debuting in the UFC in 2018. The boisterous fighter with a vivid sense of fashion has garnered comparisons with Conor McGregor in recent years for his build, charisma, confidence, and outspokenness.

During his post-fight interview, O'Malley was asked about his next opponent. Not only did the North Dakota native state that he'd like to box Gervonta "Tank" Davis (27-0), he casually said it as if Tank would end up getting KO'd like his other opponents.
