Cory Sandhagen expects Sean O’Malley to climb the ranks again, but ‘can’t be a one-trick pony anymore’

BAD MMA News — Sat, 05 Jul 2025 17:00:00 +0000

Photo by Josh Hedges/Zuffa LLC Cory Sandhagen had a vested interest in the rematch between Merab Dvalishvili and Sean O’Malley at UFC 316 because he always expected to face the winner in a title fight later this year. Dvalishvili vanquished O’Malley for a second time, but he was even more dominant after controlling the action through the first two rounds before sinking in a fight-ending choke in the third round. It was an understandably tough loss for O’Malley, who rocketed to stardom as one of the most magnetic draws in the UFC, but now finds himself stuck in no man’s land when it comes to the bantamweight title after suffering two losses to the current champion

UFC on FOX 8′s Rory MacDonald: ‘Sometimes, you just want to hurt someone’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:00:00 +0000

It’s impossible not to sense a sadistic streak in the 23-year-old Rory MacDonald (14-1 MMA, 5-1 UFC) as he speaks about his upcoming fight with Jake Ellenberger (29-6 MMA, 8-2 UFC) at UFC on FOX 8. MacDonald insists it’s not personal when he said he sometimes feels the need to hurt someone badly in the cage. He said he won’t know whether he’ll try to do that to Ellenberger until the night of July 27, when they meet in the fight card’s co-main event at KeyArena in Seattle. Yet MacDonald said the last guy to talk trash to him – before Ellenberger decided to berate him on Twitter and in interviews – took more abuse than he might have taken had he elected to keep pre-fight interviews respectful. “The B.J. fight, I was having fun just beating on him,” MacDonald told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com)
