Sean O’Malley got a close look at Alex Pereira in fight gear, and the former UFC bantamweight champion turned it into one of the stranger scouting reports you will hear this week.
In a video shared by Happy Punch, O’Malley talked about seeing Pereira while fighters were doing photos and videos in trunks. O’Malley first complained about the shorts, then said Pereira’s size caught him completely off guard.
“I saw the shorts. I saw what I’m wearing. They’re ugly. Mine were ugly,” O’Malley said. “I don’t like them. Another thing, when we were doing the pictures and s*** with the videos and we were wearing our trunks and s***, I’ve never seen a guy that looked like he got a BBL.”
O’Malley then went all the way in on Pereira’s heavyweight look.
“Alex Pereira’s ass is bigger than a Miami b****’s BBL,” O’Malley said. “I was in shock. Wait till you guys see it. I’m no Diddy. Wait till you see that wagon. I was like, holy s***. If I didn’t know better, I might have f****** jacked off, but I knew it was, yeah, you know what I mean.”

O’Malley Says Pereira Looked Like He Leveled Up Again
O’Malley is listed at 5-foot-11 and competes at bantamweight, where he previously held the UFC title. His MMA record is listed at 18-3 with one no contest, and he is currently tied to a UFC White House fight against Aiemann Zahabi, a Canadian bantamweight out of Tristar Gym with a listed record of 14-2.
Pereira is a much different physical problem. He is listed at 6-foot-4 with a 79-inch reach and has already won UFC titles at middleweight and light heavyweight. His MMA record is listed at 13-3, with most of his wins coming by knockout. He is also a former Glory kickboxing champion, which is why every size jump with Pereira gets treated like someone unlocked another boss level.
O’Malley said Pereira looked even bigger than expected.
“It was taking it level up,” O’Malley said. “We’re going levels above. Whatever the f*** his coach is eating, they’re eating. They’re matching. They’re like, ‘Hey, I’ll eat more than you.’ But I wonder what he weighs. He’s gotta be 250. His f****** bro, I’m telling you guys, wait till you guys see. Holy s***.”
The size talk tracks with the wider Pereira conversation, since Pereira has been linked to heavyweight possibilities after already collecting UFC gold in two divisions. O’Malley, meanwhile, has a very real bantamweight assignment in front of him against Zahabi, who has climbed into the ranked picture after building a long UFC run.
O’Malley ended the story by admitting he caught himself staring and had to cut it off.
“That was mind-blowing,” O’Malley said. “I looked at his butt for like seven seconds, and I’m like, okay, if I get to 10, that’s gay, so I stopped. But like, holy s***.”
