O’Malley Coming off Long Lay-Off
O’Malley returned to the UFC after a two-year absence from the sport.
A popular and rising star in the sport, O’Malley lost all that time just as it seemed he was on the verge of stardom. First, he had to have surgery on his foot and hip. Then, he suffered through a prolonged saga with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency over testing irregularities involving trace amounts of a banned substance.
But O’Malley is right back in the thick of things now, and the American still seems to be on his way to making quite the name for himself.
O’Malley’s Heavy Bag Tips and Tricks
O’Malley is truly a smooth operator inside the Octagon. His strikes are fast, powerful and accurate and he’s so technically sound at that portion of his game that you’d think he’d have a background in traditional martial arts like Karate.
But O’Malley’s fight game was honed inside rings and cages as he made his way up the regional MMA circuit in his home state of Montana.
So you can be certain the fighter knows what he’s talking about when it comes to getting some solid work in on the heavy bag. Like any professional athlete, O’Malley has done these types of fight drills for thousands of hours as he made his way up the ranks.
O’Malley Is Sponsored by Sanabul
Per the press release, O’Malley is wearing Sanabul Gold Strike gloves in the video.
O’Malley has been sponsored by Sanabul since 2017. The company says its products are crafted for champions and favorited by the likes of O’Malley and former UFC champion Michael Bisping.
Judging by O’Malley’s epic knockout earlier this year, the fighter sure seems to know what he’s doing as a striker. Here’s his epic post-fight interview with Joe Rogan after UFC 248.
