Sean O’Malley tells Fanatics View he’s already pictured it in his mind repeatedly.

Sean O’Malley (12-0) has quickly proven to be one of the most sensational and promising up-and-comers in the UFC. In his recent victory against Eddie Wineland (24-14) at UFC 250 in June, “Sugar” continued to impress with his second consecutive first-round stoppage.

With less than two minutes into the opening round, O’Malley put Wineland out on his back with a straight right hand flush on the jaw. The one-punch knockout earned him the Performance of the Night bonus, also his second in as many fights.

Veteran commentator Joe Rogan went on to tell O’Malley that it was “the best walk-off knockout he’s ever seen.”

“I love when Joe Rogan is commentating,” said O’Malley. “It makes fighting, for me; a lot more enjoyable. Everyone kept asking how I was gonna feel with no one watching. As long as Joe Rogan and (UFC President) Dana White are watching, I’m good. I’ll be there, and I’ll perform. For him (Rogan) to say that, it was awesome. It definitely meant a lot.”

Seeing O’Malley’s potential inside the octagon early on, Rogan also predicted that he would be “the next UFC star.” If you ask the 26-year-old flyweight prospect, it’s not a matter of if; but when everyone sees it.

“I’ve been a star for years,” said O’Malley. “It’s just like, more people are realizing it. All it takes is one fight to kind of see me fight. And people are gonna be like ‘damn I wanna watch him fight again.’ I’ve been a star in my mind for a long time.”
