Video: Sean O’Malley shares stunned reaction to Song Yadong putting Umar Nurmagomedov to sleep at UFC Shanghai

Sean O'Malley was utterly stunned by the knockout victory of Song Yadong over Umar Nurmagomedov in the UFC Shanghai main event. The Chinese fighter ended the highly anticipated bantamweight bout with a swift uppercut to the opponent's face, putting him to sleep in a flash. The win marked Song's biggest triumph to date, potentially securing him a shot at the winner of the upcoming championship trilogy bout between Petr Yan and Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 333.

O'Malley, who previously fell short against Song by a narrow decision in their January fight at UFC 324, expressed his admiration for the knockout artist. "Song with an uppercut to the lips," he commented on social media, marveling at the fighter's prowess. O'Malley, a recent winner against Aiemann Zahabi at UFC White House, believes that if Petr Yan secures another win over Merab Dvalishvili, the latter should be granted a title opportunity.

However, O'Malley admitted that if Dvalishvili becomes a two-division champion, Song should be given his moment to shine. "Bro, I want to see Song vs. Merab," he stated, hinting at a potential future matchup that he considers a critical one for both fighters.
