Sean O'Malley split on Mark Zuckerberg vs. Elon Musk: 'Pathetic' but 'cool because of how rich they are'

Sean O'Malley is neither sold nor out of the idea of a potential fight between tech titans Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk.

The UFC bantamweight has mixed feelings about the much talked bout fight that recently became a thing in the MMA community after Zuckerberg and Musk went after each other on social media and both said they were down to fight in a “cage match.”

Like many, O’Malley thinks it’ll be a terrible fight, but like others, he also thinks there’s something to it – especially given their pockets.

“I would watch it, but I don’t really know,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel. “I feel like it’s super hyped up, and it’s going to be pathetic. It’s going to be two f*cking white dudes that are not athletic at all. It’s going to be two math students at a high school throwing down. It’s cool because of how rich they are. I don’t know. I would definitely watch it, but I’m not super, super hyped for it.”

Someone that has been super hyped bout it in the MMA community is none other than UFC president Dana White. He’s gone well out of his way to express his desire to promote the fight and even made a t-shirt now being sold to the public by the UFC.

O’Malley thinks on White’s case, it’s a different story and he should be all in. Either way, “Suga” doesn’t think the fight will actually go down.

“That’s different,” O’Malley said. “That level of entertainment. I don’t know. The press conference would be cool. Maybe I’ll get more excited if it actually gets announced, but I don’t think it’s actually going to happen.”

Henry Cejudo on what makes Jiri Prochazka dangerous: 'He's a rhythm fighter'

Henry Cejudo sees Jiri Prochazka ’s go-with-the-flow fighting style as a big threat. Former champion Prochazka (29-3-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC) meets Alex Pereira (8-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) for the vacant light heavyweight title in the UFC 295 co-headliner Nov. 11 at Madison Square Garden in New York. Cejudo helped train Prochazka prior to his title fight against Glover Teixeira at UFC 275. Prochazka ended up submitting Teixeira late in Round 5 , in what was a back-and-forth barnburner. Cejudo recalls advising Prochazka to be tactical, but Prochazka ended up engaging in a wild brawl. “I’ve trained Jiri – Jiri’s come out here for a few weeks to train with me,” Cejudo said on his YouTube channel . “Jiri Prochazka, he’s a different style of fighting. There’s a belief in him that makes him dangerous, you know? The fact that he’s a fighter that literally goes off of rhythm – he’s a rhythm fighter. He’s a guy that’s going to go out there and use all the rhythm that he has in order to start getting his stri...

UFC's Ilia Topuria no longer interested in Paddy Pimblett: 'As a fighter we all know he's not worth anything'

MIAMI – Ilia Topuria has lost interest in a potential fight against Paddy Pimblett . After several shots at each other in interviews and on social media, a scuffle in a hotel lobby , and a post-fight callout in the octagon, Topuria said he is done trying to get a fight against Pimblett. Now highly ranked and with his sights on the UFC featherweight title, Topuria believes he’s past Pimblett and fighting him would be taking a step back. “Paddy, you know what happens with Paddy?” Topuria said in Spanish at a media day this past Saturday . “He’s a person that media attention wise, he’s big. But as a fighter we all know he’s not worth anything. He’s not even ranked. He hasn’t done anything. “So giving merit to a person that’s only where he is because he knows how to sell himself well, I don’t think that’s the right thing to do. We’re athletes. In the UFC, the difference between them and other organizations is that here what’s valued is the sport and Paddy, sporting wise, hasn’t achiev...
