BrO\u2019Malley Show<\/a> podcast. \u201cBut regardless, I want to fight within the next four or five months, whatever it is, and then I\u2019ll also be ready for that because they said it could be June, it could be International Fight Week. They said it could be July. So if I can get one in early next year or end of this year, one of the two, count me in. I want to be on that card.<\/p>\n\u201cBeing on the Sphere card, being on the White House card, these are just legendary moments. They\u2019re once in a lifetime f*cking moments.\u201d<\/p>\n
As of now, the UFC White House lineup is strictly theoretical, though superstars Conor McGregor and Jon Jones have frequently lobbied to be part of the event as well as several fighters on the roster that are actually active. This past Saturday, UFC CEO Dana White unveiled renders showing what the UFC White House setup could potentially look like.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Malley hopes to be considered and he knows his chances of landing a title shot at the White House increase exponentially if there\u2019s a new bantamweight champion heading into that event.<\/p>\n
\u201cI definitely would absolutely love to be on that card,\u201d O\u2019Malley said. \u201cCory vs. Merab, I\u2019m so f*cking curious, I\u2019m so curious how that fight plays out. Part of me feels like Merab\u2019s going to go out there and do kind of what he did to me, grab a hold of him, wrestle, takedown, get up, wrestle, takedown, just kind of stay on him. Then part of me is like, Cory\u2019s hungry. Cory wants it. He\u2019s going to find a way to win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sean O\u2019Malley could have a huge fight on his hands in 2026 if the cards fall just right.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":164346,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[570],"tags":[64,63,786,1347,785,85,787,1396],"class_list":{"0":"post-164345","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-latest-news","12":"tag-mma","13":"tag-sports","14":"tag-ufc","15":"tag-ufc-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164345","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=164345"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/164345\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/164346"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=164345"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=164345"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=164345"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
