Last Updated: March 19, 2026 2:39 PM EDT • 3 minute read X Social Google News Link
Former UFC champion and ultra-popular fan favourite Sean O’Malley looks to continue his climb back up the bantamweight rankings as he meets up with Canada’s Aiemann Zahabi in the featured bout of the UFC historic event at the White House in Washington, D.C. on June 14. Let’s take a look deeper with my O’Malley vs. Zahabi predictions for this pivotal 135-pound clash live on Paramount+.
Main card and prelims start times are still being determined, but prior UFC cards on Paramount+ have generally started at 5 p.m. ET for the preliminary fights and 9 p.m. ET for the main card. Current odds list O’Malley as a -380 betting favorite.
🔮 O’Malley vs. Zahabi preview: What to know
Sean O’Malley enters the fight fresh off a decision win over contender Song Yadong in January, while Zahabi returns after edging out a tight split decision over Marlon Vera eight months ago. “Suga Sean” already has a win over current divisional champ Petr Yan, and the UFC can definitely sell that as a big-money rematch. They just need him to win a stay-busy fight he can look good in, and Zahabi should prove to be just that. O.Malley is currently a -380 favourite, and all the action goes down Sunday, June 14, live on Paramount+, with the main card expected to start around 9 pm ET.

Sean O’Malley moneyline (-380) ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Sean O’Malley has more professional experience, has competed at a higher level and has already won a UFC championship, and yet he’s still seven years younger than his 38-year old counterpart Zahabi, who only just recently broke into the top-15 rankings after a career largely spent in obscurity. Keep an eye out for the decision prop to try and get a better number than the moneyline, but the bottom line is “Suga” should be bigger, faster, stronger and ultimately win this fight to set up a title rematch with Petr Yan later this year.
