Shortly after Sean O’Malley delivered a spectacular one-punch knockout at UFC 250, Cody Garbrandt followed suit.
O’Malley starched Eddie Wineland in the first round to open up the UFC 250 pay-per-view main card, which appeared certain to be the lock for highlight of the night. But then Garbrandt, the former bantamweight champion, rebounded from a three-fight losing skid with an emphatic buzzer-beating one-punch knockout over Raphael Assuncao in the co-main event.
If you think Garbrandt stole O’Malley’s thunder, allow O’Malley to make you think twice. Actually, let O’Malley break it down for you why his was better (via YouTube).
“I don’t know. There’s levels to striking. When you got power in your hands, you can just bend down and just throw something, and if it lands you’ll probably knock someone out. I choose pure, clean, technique, and speed. But they’re both cool.”
You’ve got to appreciate O’Malley for continuing to needle Garbrandt with this video. Maybe it’ll help him get the fight he wants.
