Sean O'Malley is set to undergo surgery.
Sean O'Malley revealed that he suffered a torn left hip labrum and will undergo surgery. O'Malley said that he could be out for six to eight months.
"I tore my left labrum in my hip," O'Malley said (via TMZ). "That's the only reason I'm going to be out for so long. This surgery should only take two months to come back from, then a couple months recovery. A year is a long time, could be six to eight months. You never know."
O'Malley is set for surgery in October.
O'Malley lost the UFC Bantamweight Championship by unanimous decision to Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306. Merab was able to take down and control O'Malley on the ground throughout the fight. O'Malley made no excuses for the loss.
"Best weight cut, felt good, no excuses," he said.
Fightful wishes O'Malley the best following his surgery and in his recovery.
