Sean O'Malley marks his UFC return with a huge win over Jose Alberto Quinonez

In 2019, Sean O'Malley was suspended by The Nevada State Athletic Commission after failing a drug test for ostarine that eventually led to him being suspended for a total of 6 months from Octagon competition.

However, having successfully served his 6-month ban, 'Sugar' was set for a huge return to the Octagon at UFC 248 and put on a show against Jose Alberto Quinonez in a Bantamweight bout.

O'Malley sure did live up to all the hype and expectations, as he knocked out his opponent within the first 2 minutes of the very first round and earned himself a huge TKO win upon his return to the Octagon.

Following the win, O'Malley also spoke on his victory and couldn't express his feelings into words. The 25-year-old also noted that he has many more tools and sweet finishes that he plans on showcasing to the fans.

O’Malley: "It's hard to put into words. You can't really put it into words. It feels good. … It's definitely the Suga Show 2.0. I have so many more tools and so many more sweet finishes I wanted to show. But it is what it is.” #UFC248
