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.”

Sean Strickland: Israel Adesanya title fight '100 percent should be in the cards' with win over Abus Magomedov

Sean Strickland thinks a fight with Israel Adesanya is imminent if he can get past Abus Magomedov . Strickland (26-5 MMA, 13-5 UFC) meets Magomedov (25-4-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) July 1 at a UFC Fight Night main event at the UFC Apex. Strickland is one of the few top-ranked contenders to never face middleweight champion Adesanya (23-2 MMA, 12-2 UFC), so he sees title implications with a win. “If this fight goes my way, it 100 percent should be in the cards,” Strickland told My MMA News . “I f*cking had a close decision with f*cking – what the f*ck was that guy’s name? Jared Cannonier, you knocked some brain cells out of me. Solid guy. Thought I won on the scorecards, but it is what it is. I truly believe I should be the one fighting Izzy, but I lost fair and square. I’ll pay my tenants. I’ll get some Ws, but yeah, that one needs to happen.” Strickland being matched up with Magomedov came as a surprise, considering Magomedov has only one octagon win. Strickland admits it’s not the fight he...

Max Griffin offended by booking against Michael Morales: 'They're sending a guy that they think can beat me'

LAS VEGAS – Max Griffin is not exactly happy with his matchup against Michael Morales . The 37-year-old welterweight veteran is set to take on Michael Morales on the main card of Saturday’s UFC on ESPN 47 at the UFC Apex. This booking made Griffin (19-9 MMA, 7-7 UFC) feel like he’s been set up to be a stepping stone for Morales (14-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC), who’s unbeaten and just 24 years old – and that has Griffin fuming. “I have a thing for these new guys: I get offended,” Griffin told reporters at Wednesday’s UFC on ESPN 47 media day. “So it’s another guy, 14-0, fought Trevin Giles. That was a terrible fight from Trevin Giles. He beat him in the beginning but burned his arms out, getting sloppy, and got knocked out. … He (Morales) ain’t fought nobody. It’s not even about who y’all fought, but I am me. I am him. I’m not the guy you want to fight when you’re that raw, that new.” Although there’s something to be said about Morales’s promise and rise, Griffin is not getting caught in a ba...
