The Ecuadorian has been asking for a title fight for a long time and the organization finally gave it to him. Ahead of their fight, a video of their interaction from 2019 resurfaced on Instagram.

Sean O’Malley gives Cory Sandhagen instructions on how to become famous

Sean O’Malley is one of the faces of the UFC currently. The fans love the bantamweight champion because of his extravagant personality. Cory Sandhagen, the #4 ranked bantamweight in the division, recently appeared on The MMA Hour. He spoke about how he needed to get more famous to be able to sign better fights.

One of the methods he advised was getting tattoos on his face, indirectly talking about the champ. In response, ‘Sugar’ said:

“Face tat might help. KOing Aljo or Beating Peter might help also IDK”

Take a look at the tweet:

Sean O’Malley wanted to remind Sandhagen that his fame came from his performances and not his face tats. The champion made it very clear that his wins speak for themselves. To become as famous as ‘Sugar’, Sandhagen would have to KO Aljamain Sterling.
