White criticizes O’Malley after at UFC 306
UFC CEO Dana White criticized Sean O’Malley after lackluster performance at UFC 306. For the entire five-round fight, O’Malley only connected with 47 significant strikes.
“He looked flat,” White said at the UFC 306 post-fight press conference. “He didn’t look sharp.”
“He didn’t look crisp until the last round. He hurt him with that body shot and he knew he hurt him with the body shot, and he kept going in trying to finish. But I looked at the punch stats, it was like six in a couple of the rounds.”

“I’m not mad at him at all. I wish Conor the best. He’s earned every right to be in the position that he is. He’s earned every right to do what he wants to do and operate the way he wants to operate,” Chandler said about the hold-up.
