Fan favourite “Suga” Sean O’Malley returns to face “Teco” at UFC 247
“Suga” Sean O’Malley is back, as the promising bantamweight recently announced his UFC return. O’Malley took to instagram to proclaim that his next bout, and thereby return to the UFC, will occur at UFC 247 against Mexican bantamweight Jose “Teco” Quiñonez. As of now neither the UFC or Quiñoez have commented on the supposed fight booking.
O’Malley and Quiñonez were previously scheduled to face off at UFC 229, but was forced to withdraw due to being flagged by USADA as he tested positive for traces of banned substances. O’Malley has however vehemently denied any allegations of wrongdoing.
