Henry Cejudo is once again snitching on Sean O’Malley.
The former two-division champion previously claimed “Suga” was “having trouble” ahead of his UFC 306 loss to Merab Dvalishvili last fall in Las Vegas, and now “Triple C” is back with more inside information from O’Malley’s “cheap” training camp for UFC 316.
“I think the biggest thing with O’Malley is, did he formulate his camp correctly?” Cejudo said on his ”Pound 4 Pound” podcast (transcribed by Farah Hannoun). “There’s a lot of birdies out there. I’m going to say it here on Pound 4 Pound: He’s just working jiu-jitsu. He’s not working his get-ups, his stand-ups. He’s not investing in his camp. He’s not bringing in guys for money. In Arizona, they have big mouths.”
O’Malley (18-2, 1 NC) will try to reclaim the bantamweight crown he surrendered to “The Machine” when they run it back in the upcoming UFC 316 pay-per-view (PPV) main event on Sat. night (June 7, 2025) inside Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
Leading the charge will be head coach Tim Welch — who faced an avalanche of criticism for his UFC 306 corner work.
“It’s true, it’s 100-percent true,” Cejudo continued. “It (money) shouldn’t be (an issue), but to him, he just wants to keep everything. I don’t know, maybe he’s cheap. He just wants to keep everything in house. When you do that, sh*t gets out there. That’s the only reason why I know some of these things. People, listen to me: Bet the house, Merab Dvalishvili via damn decision, 50-45.”
If you do “bet the house” (please don’t), be warned that Dvalishvili remains a sizable betting favorite.
