“Suga” Sean O’Malley (19-3) will be forced to compete in his UFC White House fight kit when he battles Aiemann Zahabii (14-2) as part of the upcoming “Freedom 250” MMA event on June 14 in Washington, DC.
That’s assuming they finally have a contract.
The promotion recently unveiled the chosen colors
for the promotion’s landmark event and “Suga” — known for his eclectic style — is not a fan of the “ugly” shorts he’ll be repping against the No. 6-ranked Canadian.“I don’t know if I’m even supposed to say
this, but they’re ugly,” the former UFC bantamweight champion said on YouTube. “Mine were ugly. I don’t like them. They’re not pink, which is fine, whatever. I wore other colors. I’m not gonna not show up because my shorts aren’t pink. I’ll make my f*cking hair pink, whatever. But I’m just like … did they go on Fiverr and say, ‘Hey, you know, we got these guys getting into a fight on the White House Lawn? Can you just come up with something?’ When I was wearing them, they’re white, which is whatever. I mean, I love white, Dana White, you know, soy blanca. I just, I didn’t love them.”
They pale in comparison (literally) to these custom UFC fight trunks.
“I will say, I like the white, because I do truly believe I’m gonna crack Aiemann,” the 31 year-old O’Malley continued. “I’m gonna bloody his nose. I think I’m gonna hit him a lot. I think he’s gonna be very tough, I think he’s gonna be very durable. I think I’m gonna beat the f*ck out of him, kind of like Kris Moutinho-esque, but I’m also a lot better than I was back then. So I believe I’m gonna finish him, but I’m excited for my white shorts to be red. Like, I want to see how red I can get my white shorts from his blood. That is kind of cool, but overall, didn’t f*cking love ’em.”
Judging by the social media reactions, fans didn’t love them either.
