Sean O’Malley didn’t protest what some considered a quick stoppage in his loss to Marlon Vera this past weekend at UFC 252. Instead, he laid on the mat writhing in pain.

And the way Ben Askren sees it, that was a show of weakness from the 25-year-old prospect. “He wanted to just be out of there for whatever reason,” Askren said Monday while stepping in to co-host ESPN’s “DC & Helwani.” When it was brought up that the reason probably was O’Malley being in a lot of pain, Askren nearly blew a gasket. “It’s a fist fight! Deal with that sh*t!” Askren yelled.
