UFC White House’s Aiemann Zahabi sends defiant response to Sean O’Malley mismatch claims

Aiemann Zahabi is not worried about what the odds say for his UFC White House fight.

The bantamweight contender was among the more surprising names to feature when the June 14 card was unveiled during last Saturday’s UFC 326 broadcast.

Zahabi will fight Sean O’Malley on the White House lineup, as he looks to continue his winning form inside the Octagon and earn his first title shot.

Betting odds would suggest that the Canadian has little chance of that happening, but Zahabi is unfazed.

Aiemann Zahabi dismisses lopsided odds for Sean O’Malley fight at UFC White House

The UFC White House card reveal certainly split opinion, with many underwhelmed by the matchups set to take place in Washington D.C. this June.

Plenty of critics have pointed to the O’Malley vs Zahabi bantamweight clash, describing it as the UFC’s attempt to push ‘Suga’ back to the title.

That sentiment is seemingly reflected by the betting odds, which have the former champion as a significant favorite over Zahabi.

But the No. 6-ranked contender is taking no notice of such narratives in the lead-up to UFC White House and plans to let his fighting do the talking.

“The odds won’t be in the cage fighting for us,” Zahabi wrote.
