"I don't think Pedro is much of a wrestler. He's not like an Aljo or Henry Cejudo. He's number ten, he can wrestle. I think he will try to wrestle, I do believe that. I've training for a while, I know how to wrestle and grapple. Will I show it in the fight? It's up to Pedro. Can he get me down? That's the question."

This is the first time that O'Malley will be facing a top 10 contender in the bantamweight division. 'Sugar' has admitted on multiple occassions that he will beat the top 10 fighters in his division and get his hands on the title.
