Twitter reacts to Sean O’Malley’s no-contest with Pedro Munhoz at UFC 276 due to eye poke
Sean O'Malley vs. Pedro Munhoz ended in anticlimactic fashion at UFC 276.
In what was considered the biggest test of his career, O’Malley (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) did not get the definitive result he was looking for with Munhoz (19-7 MMA, 9-7 UFC) after an accidental eye poke led to a no contest in the bantamweight bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Check below for the top Twitter reactions to O’Malley’s fight with Munhoz at UFC 276.

O'Malley fighting Munhoz exactly how he should be….
Carefully.

Interesting first round. Munhoz heavy on the leg kicks, although a fair number of them checked. But Munhoz is also attacking above the knee and hasn't really allowed O'Malley to get into a rhythm.
