5 Ups & 2 Downs From UFC 248

3. Return Of The Suga Show

If you had any questions as to whether or not Sean O'Malley would be able to replicate his earlier success inside the Octagon, then he answered all those questions on Saturday night by delivering a brilliant performance on his sensational return.

O'Malley gave his opponent, Jose Alberto Quinonez, zero opportunites to land any offense, darting in and out of El Teco's range beautifully, The strikes he landed were accurate, fast, powerful and the shot selections were perfect. Even though Quinonez seemed like a solid enough test on paper, O'Malley quickly proved that they they were not even in the same league..

There were many things that were impressive about O'Malley's performance, but the one aspect that proved that he was just as good as before was the creativity in his striking. It's the main thing that people fell in love with about him, so it's amazing to see that that's still intact

He mentioned in his post-fight that we're witnessing the Suga Show 2.0 and if he's got more performances like in his locker, it'll certainly be fun to watch.
