Cormier Clears Air With O'Malley After UFC 333 Cage Incident

Daniel Cormier has smoothed things over with Sean O'Malley following an awkward in-cage exchange at UFC 333.

Cormier, working as a commentator for the event, reportedly discussed a potential fight between Petr Yan and Song Yadong while O'Malley was still inside the Octagon, according to MMA Mania. The moment appeared to catch O'Malley off guard during the post-fight proceedings.

The former two-division champion has since spoken with O'Malley to explain why he brought up the Yan-Yadong matchup at that particular moment. Details of their conversation have not been made public, but the two appear to have resolved any confusion stemming from the broadcast.

O'Malley, the former bantamweight champion, has been linked to several potential opponents since losing his title. The Yan fight remains one of the more frequently mentioned options for his return.

Cormier continues his role as part of the UFC broadcast team while O'Malley awaits his next booking.
