Joe Rogan says O’Malley injured his ribs five weeks ago, and that he could not train any wrestling for that period of time. Wow.

Sterling, who is being booed: “Sean is a lot better than I thought, man.

“He did a really good job, he was elusive, stayed on the outside.

“Nothing but respect at the end of the day. Chasing the dream, something everyone in the crowd should be trying to do every day of your life.”

O’Malley: “It feels right, baby, it feels right.

“Honestly, this was the most nervous I’ve been for a fight. In my eyes, Aljamain Sterling is the greatest bantamweight of all time, but I never lost confidence – because I know what I possess in this f***ing right hand, baby!

“It only takes one mistake against me. I don’t even know if that was a mistake, I’m just that f***ing good!”
