"Suga". That's what they call Sean O'Malley, and is ranked #2 at UFC bantamweight — close enough to smell the title, dangerous enough that champions don't say his name too loudly.
This is power striking with numbers behind it — 13 KO/TKO wins, 5.98 significant strikes landed per minute. Opponents don't get outpointed so much as dismantled.
Last time out he beat Aiemann Zahabi (KO/TKO (Punches) R2) — the kind of result that keeps a career pointed in the right direction.
