That's better than the f*****g pound-for-pound division - Sean O'Malley explores the top contenders at bantamweight

Sean O'Malley recently assessed the contenders in the bantamweight division and called it better than the "pound-for-pound" division.

O'Malley went through the rankings in the 135lbs weight class and saw some top contenders like Jose Aldo, Petr Yan, T.J. Dillashaw, Cory Sandhagen, Rob Font, Marlon Vera, Dominick Cruz, Song Yadong, Pedro Munhoz, Frankie Edgar, Ricky Simon, and himself there.

While speaking on The BrO'Malley Show, 'Sugar' stated:

"I don't understand why Aldo vs. Dominick is not happening. We got Aldo, Petr, T.J., Cory, 'Chito', Merab, Rob seven, Dom eight, Song's nine, Pedro's 10, Frankie Edgar's 11, Ricky's 12, I'm 13, Jack Shore's 14? Who the f**k has he even fought?"

He further noted that all the top contenders in his division are healthy and ready to go. 'Sugar' also suggested some hypothetical match-ups like Petr Yan vs. Marlon Vera, Petr Yan vs. Jose Aldo 2, Jose Aldo vs. Dominick Cruz, and more during his chat.

The No.13-ranked bantamweight went on to suggest that the 135lbs weight class is the best in the UFC at the moment, calling it better than the "pound-for-pound" division:

"This division is wild. That's the best division you'll see, hands down right f*****g there. It's a better division than the f*****g pound-for-pound division."
