O’Malley Posts Sparring Video Of Pantoja ‘TKO’

Release the Pantoja cut!

UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley and UFC flyweight titleholder Alexandre Pantoja previously sparred against one another prior to their respective runs as division champions. Naturally, both sides claim to have gotten the upper hand, with Team “Suga” insisting Pantoja was dropped with a liver shot while the “Cannibal” camp insists O’Malley got “smashed.”

O’Malley recently uploaded his side of the story, a brief clip that has Pantoja eating a hard body kick before calling a halt to the action.

“First-round TKO, 2016,” O’Malley wrote on Twitter. “Undefeated. Henry in his corner, he was crying.”

Fans are calling for O’Malley to release the full video.

“Suga” is expected to make his next 135-pound title defense against No. 1-ranked contender Merab Dvalishvili at some point later this year, possibly at UFC 306 inside The Sphere. As for Pantoja, he’s just a few days removed from his flyweight title defense against Aussie action man Steve Erceg at UFC 301.

Pantoja has yet to respond to O’Malley’s video.
