Sean O'Malley Offers Devin Haney $1M for MMA Fight

In response to Devin Haney calling out Suga's disappointing performance at UFC 306, O'Malley took a moment to call out Haney on the Timbo and Suga Show, saying, "Boxers are f*cking p*ssies dude, Devin Haney’s a b*tch, he’s such a b*tch. If Devin Haney really wants to talk sh*t, he really wants to fight, I’ll put $1M, me vs him, no time limit, and we can fight."

Suga is even willing to do a boxing match without the $1M on the line... "Either don’t talk sh*t, or let’s actually fight. I would even box, I wouldn’t put $1M of my money up but I would box, just boxing rules to protect him, but he wouldn’t simply just fight me."
