The remade Sean O'Malley is ready to show off his ‘prime' — and get some UFC redemption
The 'Suga Show' returns Saturday night, but it's more of a remake than a continuation.
Gone is the old Sean O'Malley — the weed-smoking social-media maven — with the metaphorical starring role recast as one undistracted by his own public persona and focused more keenly on the two things most important to him now: family and reclaiming UFC glory.
Well, there's one thing that actually supersedes becoming the bantamweight champion in Saturday's UFC 316 main event at Prudential Center, and that's settling the score with the man who beat him for that title in September: Merab Dvalishvili.
'Even if Merab would have lost to Umar [Nurmagomedov, in January], part of me just wanted the Merab fight back,' O'Malley told reporters during media day Wednesday in Morristown, N.J.

UFC champ Jon Jones teases plan to not fight Tom Aspinall and 'give up the belt freely'
UFC champ Jon Jones teases plan to not fight Tom Aspinall and 'give up the belt freely' Overnight tweet storm may mean nothing, and may mean everything. Unfortunately, my boy is not as special as his fan base thinks he is right now. I've seen Tom get tapped out twice now by two different people. Time will show. Here today gone tomorrow. — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 An overnight tweet storm from Jon Jones may have given the MMA world the best clue yet about his future in the cage. Jones (28-1 MMA, 22-1 UFC), the UFC's heavyweight champion and a former longtime light heavyweight champ, leaned into the narrative from fans that he's ducking a title unification bout with interim champion Tom Aspinall (15-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC). There has been growing discontent in the MMA community over Jones' apparent unwillingness to line up a fight with Aspinall, to the point there's a petition urging the UFC to strip him of his title. Aspinall tried to steer the story toward Jones being retired earlier this week, and in Jones' tweets, he did little to dispel that theory. When a fan asked Jones how he would beat Aspinall if they fought, Jones replied: "By not even giving him the chance." Moments earlier, he mocked the longtime idea that he's ducking Aspinall by calling himself "Duck boy" and announcing he was about to give "one big fat FU to the haters." Jones said, among other things: at 37, his body hurts everywhere; he hasn't trained since he beat Stipe Miocic in November 2024; it's in the UFC's best interest to keep him champion, not Aspinall; he can't have his title stripped because he'd vacate it freely. He also gave other fighters lessons in building their legacies by saying "your legacy isn't your last move." Jones, regarded by many as the best pound-for-pound fighter in history – particularly, of late, his boss, UFC CEO Dana White – has fought eight times in the past 10 years. One of those fight was overturned for a positive steroids test. He has four decision wins in that time. Since he arrived in the UFC five years ago, Aspinall is 8-1. The one loss was in 15 seconds when he blew out his knee against Curtis Blaydes in July 2022 and suffered a TKO without getting touched. He avenged that loss in 2024 in 60 seconds. All eight of his wins in the UFC have been finishes, and seven have been in the first round. He has seven post-fight bonuses. Check out Jones' tweets below. I remember like it was yesterday. three years since anyone saw me fight. The mass amount of critics ' Jones looks so old now, He's too slow now. Gane going to be too fast, Jones has never faced someone this big, he's never faced a kickboxer of this caliber.' The French and the… — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 Once twice to me really makes no difference. My point is the kids not special. And he has no top lip which I also find annoying. lol — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 It really has nothing to do with fear. The question I asked my close friends and family is how much higher can a person like me climbing this sport. The goal for athletes is to build a brand and then take that brand and become so much more than an athlete. A lot of the fans and… — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 I spoke to the UFC a long time ago about what my future plans were. I haven't really worked out since my last fight in New York City. Honestly, I believe it's been in the UFC's best interest to keep presenting me as the company's champion—not Tom. I've just been playing the role… — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 Duck boy over here winning, and sticking one big fat FU to the haters at the same time quack quack — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 By not even giving him the chance — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 There's an interesting take! Shit, I'm 37 years old now. My body hurts everywhere if I'm being honest. Funny how Tommy boy talks zero shit to the studs of his generation. Barely even mention their names. — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 And remember, you can't strip a guy like me at this point I give the belt up freely. Veni, vidi, vici. 😘 — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 Honestly, I'm jetlagged. Been traveling all day and bored so yes, I have time to tweet. Figured I'd give my haters some ammunition I got money to make. — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. I see things like this happen all the time. Fighter allows me to become their whole identity. They're so focused on being the man meanwhile, the competition is lurking. The big mouth gets bit in the ass. — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025 No, honestly, I wish Tommy no ill will. He is no threat to me whatsoever, he should start with just trying to be the best heavyweight of all time, that goal would be plenty. My career is on a completely different planet if we're being honest. I really don't hate on other… — Jonny Meat (@JonnyBones) June 6, 2025

UFC's most active fighter Kevin Holland: ‘So many fights I don't remember'
The UFC's most active fighter Kevin Holland has admitted that he 'doesn't remember' some of his fights as he prepares to once again return to the Octagon next month. Holland faces Vicente Luque on June 7, his 21st fight for the UFC since 2020, which makes him the promotion's most regular competitor over the past five years. Advertisement A fan favourite due to his activity and charismatic personality, Holland equalled the record for most UFC wins in a calendar year back in 2020 - managing five fights and winning all of them. "My whole career I've always been pretty active,' he told BBC Sport. 'You're an athlete, you can't be an athlete for 40 years, you can only be it for so long. So take advantage and wish for the best. "Between super matches in jiu jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA, I'd fight seven to eight times a year. I've always fought a lot, never really sit on my butt too much. "I've had so many fights I don't remember none of them." Advertisement Holland last fought at UFC London back in March, beating Gunnar Nelson by decision to return to winning ways, two months after being finished in the first round by Reinier de Ridder. Bouncing back from defeat is seemingly what Holland is best at, saying he barely needs any time to rest and recuperate before returning to the cage. "As soon as I was healthy to go it's straight back in the gym,' he added. 'It's simple, I like to stay in there and stay active. Kevin Holland last competed in March, when he beat Gunnar Nelson (Getty Images) "I don't really need much time in between fights, two days is typically all a man needs." Luque, ranked 14th at welterweight, will be his third bout of 2025, with Holland eyeing a potential return to the top 15 with a win. Advertisement However, Holland does not look too far into the future when it comes to his fighting career, taking things one bout at a time. "I'm just focused on one thing only, and that's the fight coming up," he said. "Treat MMA like a real job. Respect and appreciate it, listen to your coaches, and put the grind in. Don't listen to the critics, listen to the coaches."
