Sean O'Malley called out by Cory Sandhagen, Henry Cejudo, Petr Yan after UFC 306 title loss

Sean O'Malley already has a slew of top bantamweight contenders wanting a piece of him after UFC 306.

O'Malley (18-2 MMA, 10-2 UFC) lost his 135-pound title to Merab Dvalishvili (18-4 MMA, 11-2 UFC) by unanimous decision in Saturday's Noche UFC main event at Sphere in Las Vegas.

Following his title loss, O'Malley was immediately mocked by Henry Cejudo (16-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC), who previously said he'd stick around at bantamweight to fight O'Malley.

Cory Sandhagen's approach was a more respectful one, urging O'Malley to give the fans a striker's delight matchup. Sandhagen (17-5 MMA, 10-4 UFC) is coming off a main event loss to Umar Nurmagomedov at UFC on ABC 7 in August.

"Watching Merab win the title ⏩️ realizing you get Sandman v Suga because of it

.

Congrats, Merab. You earned it, man. O'Malley, time to give the people what they want. I don't promise to not kiss you."

O'Malley seemed to take his loss in stride, posting a video of him working on his takedown defense on his Instagram. O'Malley was taken down six times by Dvalishvili and controlled for 10 minutes.
