Aljamain Sterling talks about DM exchange with Sean O'Malley ahead of UFC 292 clash
As the date for their showdown at UFC 292 draws near, Aljamain Sterling and Sean O'Malley are building up the excitement with some pre-fight banter. In a recent YouTube video, Sterling shared an amusing and somewhat perplexing direct message (DM) he received from O'Malley.
"Sean O'Malley...... sends me a message saying something along the lines of, 'Hey champ saw you on TV, you looked hella nervous.' So I just put a whole bunch of laughing emojis and then I sent him two voice notes just obnoxiously laughing. Like, fake laugh obviously, but just being a clown and having some good fun man. I can't tell whether the guy is serious or not."
