Sean O'Malley, a contender for the UFC bantamweight title, said he has reconsidered his approach to trash talk. According to the fighter, now during the promotion of the fight he will not insult the opponent's family.
“Honestly, I don’t want to drag anyone’s family into a fighter standoff. I remember when I was preparing for the fight against Marlon Vera, I said "Vera's girl" or "Vera's mother" and then all kinds of dirt. Now I'm thinking, 'That wasn't cool. It was wrong." I decided that I would no longer interfere with personal and family life in trash talk. I won't mention anyone's mom unless she's sexy. I won't mention anyone's sister unless she's sexy."
