Sean O’Malley Returns at UFC 324 as Betting Favorite

Helena native Suga Sean O'Malley steps back into the Octagon this weekend at UFC 324. O'Malley carries an 18-3-0 (1 NC) record into his fight with Song Yadong.

Two of O'Malley's three career UFC losses have come in his last two matches, however. Both losses came against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 316 in June 2025 and again in Riyadh at UFC 306 in September 2024.

Song Yadong, aka the Kung Fu Kid, carries a 22-8-1 record into Saturday night's fight. He has won three of his previous four fights. His lone loss came at UFC 299 against Petr Yan. UFC 299 was headlined by Suga Sean when he defeated Marlon Vera for the UFC Bantamweight belt.

O'Malley is the odds-on favorite according to Fanduel at -215.
