Sean O\u2019Malley<\/a> is feeling the love from Eminem and Lil Wayne and hopes the vibes carry on into his future fights.<\/p>\n

The former UFC bantamweight champion saw his name dropped in not one, but two recent tracks from the hip-hop legends, with Lil Wayne mentioning O\u2019Malley on the song Rari<\/a> from his album Tha Carter VI, which came out this past June.<\/p>\n

\u201cShirt off, guns showin\u2019 like O\u2019Malley,\u201d Wayne rapped.<\/p>\n

Then Eminem also referenced O\u2019Malley this past week<\/a> in a collaboration with rapper JID on the song Animals (Pt. 1)<\/a>, rapping, \u201chad to throw in that towel regroup, like Sean O\u2019Malley, still that mouthy youth.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, O\u2019Malley shared his reaction to hearing his name in the songs on social media.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Malley was visibly excited at hearing his name, then recalled how he walked out for his first kickboxing match to the song Drop the World, a collaboration between Wayne and Eminem.<\/p>\n

\u201cRandom,\u201d O\u2019Malley said. \u201cIt\u2019s a sign. It\u2019s a sign I\u2019m going to beat Merab.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Malley then looked directly at the camera, suggesting that he might not be taking the premonition entirely seriously. He is currently 0-2 against Merab Dvalishvili<\/a>, the current UFC bantamweight champion,<\/p>\n

Dvalishvili won a lopsided decision over O\u2019Malley at UFC 306<\/a> to claim the title, then won in even more impressive fashion in their rematch nine months later at UFC 316<\/a>, where Dvalishvili submitted O\u2019Malley in the third round.<\/p>\n

In other words, O\u2019Malley did not successfully \u201cthrow in that towel\u201d and \u201cregroup.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sean O\u2019Malley is feeling the love from Eminem and Lil Wayne and hopes the vibes carry on into…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":50263,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[29],"tags":[190,32318,37986,18979,171,561,204,550,10200,2773,1412,5037,105,37985,1414,37984,37987,560,975,5204,635,27143,1528,196,8038,1409,16330,447,552,562,67,132,68,7580],"class_list":["post-50262","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-music","tag-a","tag-beat","tag-dropping","tag-eminem","tag-entertainment","tag-fighting","tag-front-page","tag-going","tag-him","tag-i","tag-in","tag-it","tag-latest-news","tag-lil","tag-m","tag-malley","tag-merab","tag-mma","tag-music","tag-name","tag-new","tag-o","tag-reacts","tag-s","tag-sean","tag-sign","tag-songs","tag-to","tag-ufc","tag-ufc-news","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us","tag-wayne"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114820897103091989","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50262","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=50262"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50262\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50263"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50262"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50262"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=50262"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
