Ahead of his return at UFC 260, O’Malley had a message for the fans in this regard. Speaking to Helen Yee, ‘Suga’ said, “I would tell you to take a bet on me but I said that last time and I still get messages from people telling me I owe 1000 bucks so don’t bet on me, bet on Thomas, bet on Thomas to win.”
“There you go. I’m Merch drop-in Friday New Jersey’s I’m healthy. I feel good. I’m so excited about this fight. I think it’s gonna be a bad** kickboxing fight. I don’t think he’s gonna come out and try to wrestle me, he’ll gas himself out. He’s not gonna take me down. I think it’s gonna be a good kickboxing fight,” O’Malley added.
He concluded, “And I just don’t see how I don’t put his lights out. I’m too fast. I’m too sharp, too focused for this fight. There’s just no way he beats me. But I can’t say that because you just never know what’s gonna happen, but I do feel good for this fight. I feel like it’s a good matchup for me.”
Ranked #14 in the official bantamweight pile at the time of his clash with Vera, the Montana native subsequently dropped his first professional loss, bringing an end to a twelve-fight undefeated streak, which included Octagon wins over former WEC bantamweight best, Eddie Wineland, Jose Alberto Quinonez, Andre Soukhamthath, and Terrion Ware.
Almeida was once one of the biggest prospects of the UFC’s 135 lbs division. However, he hasn’t been the same fighter since his 2016 knockout loss to Cody Garbrandt. It was his first loss as a professional, but he has lost 3 of his 4 fights since. Thomas Almeida (22-4 MMA) will be looking to earn his first victory since 2016 when he takes on ‘Sugar’ this Saturday.
