O'Malley blasts Ian Garry over past slight

In an August 13, 2026 piece, Sean O'Malley targets Ian Machado Garry over a past comment suggesting Garry was the main reason European fans tuned in to UFC 292. O'Malley responds in a YouTube reaction video, saying "This just got personal" and mocking Garry’s claim that he drove viewership for O'Malley’s title-winning card. He also critiques Garry’s take that women should run the world, joking that leaders "should have a wiener" and questioning Garry’s plant-based diet ahead of a bout with Islam Makhachev. The exchanges underscore growing tension between the two fighters.
