Arizona Cardinals linebacker Dennis Gardeck admits UFC Bantamweight champion and Arizona resident Sean O’Malley wasn’t just an average size person when he met him during a team practice in August.
Gardeck joined Big Red Rage on ESPN 620 AM Thursday and discussed his experience of meeting O’Malley during the practice and defending him as he caught passes from quarterback Kyler Murray.

“It was absolutely terrifying because if I see an average person about the same size as Sean O’Malley, I’m thinking if we have to step outside, I might be ok,” Gardeck said.
“And I know for a fact that is not the case with Sean O’Malley. So it was terrifying.”
