UFC featherweight champion Allesandre Pantoja revealed that he trained with current titleholder Sean O'Malley six years ago.
"I have some relationship with O'Malley. I sparred with him about six years ago when I was training for my debut fight in the UFC. Back then, Sean was talking some crap about me. Crazy, but back then Sean recorded our sparring and he never released the video of us working the counter with each other. After a while I said to his friend, "Could you talk to Sean about sending a video of the sparring." Then he said to me, 'Hey, he's not going to send it to you, bro, then you beat him up,'" the New York Post quoted the Brazilian as saying.
Recall that next weekend at UFC 301 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Pantoja will defend the belt against the encroachments of Steve Ercega.
