UFC bantamweight champion American fighter Sean O'Malley said he was arrested by a SWAT team after a false report.
O'Malley said on his YouTube channel:
I've heard about, like Adin [Ross] and the big streamers getting swatted. People find out where they're at and they call the cops, say something happened that obviously didn't happen, and then they're f---ing getting swatted. I peek out my head out the window and I see a bunch of cops. I've got f---in' shotguns pointed at me, AR-[15]s from like four different cops pointed at me. I was sitting in the back of that cop car in handcuffs. They said I killed my parents or something like that, and they thought there was an active shooter inside.
Recall, in the next fight O'Malley may meet with Georgian fighter Merab Dvalishvili.
The 29-year-old O'Malley had his last fight in March 2024 at UFC 299, defeating Marlon Vera by unanimous decision. He has 18 wins and one loss on his record.
Dvalishvili, 33, last stepped into the octagon in February 2024 at UFC 298, defeating Henry Cejudo by unanimous decision. He has 17 wins and four losses on his record.
