Former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has delivered a final warning to Aiemann Zahabi ahead of their UFC Freedom 250 bout at the White House.
O’Malley is coming into the bout on the back of a unanimous decision victory against Song Yadong at UFC 324. Meanwhile, Zahabi defeated Marlon Vera via split decision in his last outing and is currently riding a seven-fight winning streak in the UFC.
‘Suga’ weighed in at 135.5 pounds, while Zahabi came in at 135 pounds. After the ceremonial weigh-ins, O’Malley took to social media to take a jab at the Canadian, stating:
“Bouta batter this poor Canadian.”

Sean O’Malley fires back after Aiemann Zahabi threatens to expose his wrestling weakness
At the pre-fight presser, Zahabi hinted that he could lean on his wrestling in the bout, as O’Malley has struggled against offensive grappling in the past and was taken down several times by Merab Dvalishvili across their two title fights. He said:
“He couldn’t stop Merab from taking him down, what makes him think he can stop me?”
O’Malley did not bother with a detailed response and instead fired back with a two-word insult. He said:
“You S*ck.”
