UFC bantamweight Sean O’Malley is looking to bump up his pay ahead of the biggest fight of his career. O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) meets ranked contender Pedro Munhoz (19-7 MMA, 9-7 UFC) on July 2 at UFC 276, a big step up in competition from his recent wins. The 27-year-old turned heads when he once stated that he’ll fight ranked opposition only with an increase in pay and after inking a new UFC deal, it looks like he might’ve gotten his wish. However, O’Malley has big aspirations when it comes to his fight purse, and knows he has the drawing power to achieve it. “I actually recently sat down with the UFC, re-signed with them, and I had a great conversation with Sean Shelby,” O’Malley said on ESPN’s “DC & RC” show.
