Sean O’Malley is not taking Aljamain Sterling’s health concerns seriously.

The UFC bantamweight champion recently expressed concern about being ready for O’Malley for their expected bout on Aug. 19 at UFC 292 in Boston, given some lingering injuries from his most recent title defense. O’Malley thinks there’s plenty of time for Sterling to get ready and was dismissive of Sterling’s comments.

“He did just fight, but look at Izzy. Motherf*cker fought four times in 12 months,” O’Malley said on his YouTube channel. “You have four months. It was four months from the fight. Take two months off and then train hard for two months. It ain’t f*cking science. … It’s called discipline.”

Sterling defended his belt on May 6, defeating Henry Cejudo in a split decision in the main event of UFC 288. Not long after Sterling’s win, the UFC announced that the champ would return on Aug. 19, giving him 15 weeks to rest and prepare for another title defense.

O’Malley hasn’t fought since October of last year, when he outpointed former champion Petr Yan in a Fight of the Night winning performance.

Sterling said the bout against O’Malley is verbally agreed, but he has yet to sign and make it official. He cited several lingering health issues that could derail those plans.

O’Malley doesn’t like the spirit of Sterling’s comments and believes he should adhere to the UFC’s plans.

“He acts like he calls the shots,” O’Malley said. “I’m listening to the UFC. I’m not acting like I call the shots, either. Dana said August, so I said August. It’s not like I told Dana, ‘Hey, f*cking run it August. I run this sh*t.’ I said, ‘Hey, Uncle Dana.’ I didn’t call him daddy like he said. I said, ‘Hey, Uncle Dana. When do you want me to beat up Aljo?’ And it happened to be August. I don’t know what his point is here. I don’t know what his plan is by even tweeting that.”

Former UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou officially ended his free agency after signing a landmark contract with the PFL last week.

The deal will pay him an undisclosed minimum purse for his MMA fights, gives him the freedom to pursue boxing, appoints him in a leadership role as the head of PFL Africa, and more. Simply put, there’s never been a fighter contract like this in the history of mixed martial arts.

The deal garnered plenty of praise from fighters, as well as criticism from fans. And not surprisingly, UFC president Dana White put his own negative spin on the deal, which got a response from Ngannou.

Is this a game-changing deal and just how much of game changer is it?

Our “Spinning Back Clique” panel of Mike Bohn, Danny Segura and Brian “Goze” Garcia weighed in with host “Gorgeous” George Garcia. You can watch their discussion in the video above and check out this week’s full episode below.
