After the disappointing defeat against Marlon 'Chito' Vera at UFC 252, Sean “Sugar” O'Malley had a match back over the weekend. As his nickname, O'Malley had a “sweet” victory over Thomas Almeida thanks to his impressive ability to fight.
Following the home event, coach and commentator Atlas went to Twitter to express his interest in O'Malley and compare the MMA boxer with the former Boxing Featherweight Naseem Hamed championship.
He wrote: “The Almeida vs O'Malley, I have never seen anyone with strange talent and fighting style since” Prince “Hamed in the 80s. This is a true colorful style.
“You need to use the lure before attacking O'Malley, making him move too soon and then hit.
“Talent, instinct and excellent technique. Unique and special.”
Naseem Hamed was the one who lit the Featherweight weight of Boxing in the 1990s with a pompous style inside and outside the ring. Not only performing fancy techniques, he also once approached the ring by … sitting on the flying carpet.

“Prince” Naseem Hamed retired with a record of 36-1, which is considered the best puncher in the Featherweight weight by The Ring magazine.
