Sean O'Malley is not impressed with the new UFC Freedom 250 fight kits ahead of his June 14 bantamweight bout with Aiemann Zahabi.
The former UFC bantamweight champion, who is set to compete in a featured matchup at UFC Freedom 250, made it clear he dislikes the event-specific gear. "I don't know if I'm even supposed to say, but they're ugly," O'Malley said.
"Mine were ugly. I don't like them. They're not pink, which is fine, whatever. I wore other colors (in the past). I'm not going to not show up because my shorts aren't pink. I'll make my f*cking hair pink – whatever. I'm not mad," he added, before questioning the design process: "But I'm just like, did they go on Fiverr and say, 'Hey, you know, we've got these guys getting into a fight on the White House Lawn, can you just come up with something?' ... I didn't love them."
O'Malley, who usually wears pink shorts, expects to be in white this time and is already tying that look to how he envisions the fight playing out. "I will say, I like the white because I do truly believe I'm going to crack Aiemann," O'Malley said. "I'm going to bloody his nose. I think I'm going to hit him a lot. I think he's going to be very tough. I think he's going to be very durable. I think I'm going to beat the f*ck out of him – kind of like Kris Moutinho-esque."
"But I'm also a lot better than I was back then. So I believe I'm going to finish him, but I'm excited for my white shorts to be red. Like, I want to see how red I can get my white shorts from his blood. That is kind of cool. But overall, I didn't f*cking love them."
