What Did Sean O'Malley Do To Become a UFC Superstar? 

He has a fan friendly fighting style and had great promotion from the ufc machine since the "welcome to the suga show clip". Sometimes thats all you need

o'malley won against some nice competition and he got there to the top and made it look fairly effortless.. thats commendable

He’s a smart businessman. He has his own brand. Hangs out with well known people , does RU-vid , has a podcast & fight well. People don’t give him to much credit for his other ways of making money.

He's just a chill dude doing his thing.

Though his personality is lack-luster and his pink persona is… unique, I guess, he’s not boring to watch, so I’m not totally on board with the hate wagon. Don’t get me wrong, not really a fan, but I find his fight to be entertaining at the very least. Striking would always be more visually appeasing than hugging, no matter how the die-hard spin it.

Yup. Aged like wine. Vera was not a challenge for Sean. Instead we got Hollywood highlights from Sean.

As fans, of course we all want to see good fighters tested against the best in the divison but if what sean said is true, then from the perspective of a fighter, it would be stupid not to manage your career in the exact way that he did (if its an option)

Man literally fights like a ninja, that and his dynamic with his coach is second to none.

This is a very well done video. Surprised to look up and see you have less than 50 subs. Keep putting out content like this and I'm sure you're going to grow quickly. Nice work. 🤘

They always hate if you are doing it your way

Its because hes a skinny non threatening looking stoner whos a really good fighter... and his style is stand up and exciting to watch

Little to no actual charisma but fight friendly style. I remember him saying he was famous before he was even remotely close to being famous and I'm starting to think if you just say you're popular without being popular, that in time it will actually make you popular

I am just happy he stop aljo. My prayers where answered. Also I got to met aljo in Vegas he wasn’t the nicest guy. Meanwhile sean Strickland was incredibly nice to me. And Chris Curtis

I'm not even a Omalley fan but the dudes charisma isn't from talking, like we're used to. it's about the aura

I think it’s the whole Adam22, white boy thing that he’s into. That’s really it.

How do you only have 41 subs you deserve more you make good content

To say O'Malley 'took the easy route and gave up' is just ingenious. He played the cage looking for a counter, waiting to get his footing back so he could move like he does. Instead, the foot never returned and of course Chito didn't let a counter happen. Sean did the only thing he could, which was a rather successful blitz against Chito all the way to the cage, after which he was backpedaling and tripped himself on his bum foot (which is absolutely Chito inflicted) and once Chito took top and the elbow dropped the ref intelligently called it. What you said is subjective and baseless, and I'm a Chito guy! Either way, great effort and thanks to anyone who attended my Ted Talk.

Got some tattoos, colored his hair all crazy, dressed like a clown, made some funny videos, and smashed some cans. End video

Lowkey sterling learns from the last fight and close the distance better and lands.We might see him lose fr fr mally watch out.

The man has charisma just a different kind that younger generations understand. He can really fight and backs his sorta cringy trash talk with actual skill which is funny in it's own way.

good stuff keep these vids coming

Holy shit dude this Channel is gonna blow tf up

I have been a fan of Sean since the beginning. But just waitinggg for him to fight a ranked guy and back it up. I think the way he’s done his career is brilliant. Fighting the next guy in line is t always the best thing. MMA stars get fed to the lions early and never recover. (Cody, Sage Northcutt etc.) and waste their potential. Sean is that good, and it shows that it just takes time for it to manifest in mma.

TJ's "Mentally, I'm the cleanest athlete on the planet" LMAO!

Hello brother, very good quality of the video. I am surprised that you have only 200 subs. I am gonna follow you, please keep posting. Hope to see 1m on your channel brother.

In the Wwe, the crowd has to cheer you or boo for you. If they don’t react you don’t have a job much longer

Look at that, he destroyed chito like he said he would for years

Great video

He got clowned at his recent press conference by Sean Strickland and chito 😂🤦‍♂️

damn bro how do you not have millions of subs? keep it up this is sick!

Subbed.... Like your style of content

He knocked everyone out. Theres the answer without an 11 minute explanation

I respect what he’s done since he is making his money and this was his path but at the same time this is the exact opposite of what fans need. This strategy is the same reason everyone in boxing is undefeated and we rarely get the fights everyone actually wants.

Really good video.

Bro you are genius, this is 4th video in a row I am watching...

He has a big following from being close with NELK.

I really don’t understand the O’Malley hate at all… bro is chill as fuck and probably one of the most entertaining strikers in history. He’s a little cheesy sometimes but nowhere near the amount other fighters are. He keeps it real and he’s just trolling when he doesn’t accept the Chito loss and nobody gets the sarcastic humor lol… O’Malley is dope.

nice video

Yair Rodriguez vs Sean O’Malley is a dream matchup

Screenshot this, Chito is gonna fvck sean up. Ive been fighting and a fan for 20yrs. Im putting money on Chito

He's protected. He was given a bunch of bad fighters he could beat up and pad up his resume. He gets a fight with Yan is awarded a questionable win, no rematch for Yan while O'Malley is getting a title shot. He beat Aljo nobody can take that from him. But now look at his 1st defense it's against Vera, Vera has already been exposed by Cory, the guy isn't on that level as a striker and is a safe opponent for O'Malley. If Vera puts up a good fight I'll gladly say i was wrong but as far as I can tell he won't.

This sounds like a let's hate on Sean O'Malley video! 🙄🤦🏼‍♂️

also I feel like people forget he popped for steroids around 3-4 years ago....

He's a good fighter, I wanted to not like him due to his obnoxious look, but he's actually not annoying and knocks people out. What more can you ask for these days after dudes like izzy haha.

Bruh 3 ads in 5 min calm down bud

Funny how u critique Sean for fighting chito but hype up Ilia fighting volk. If you think he shouldn’t fight chito who beat sean how would ilia make sense fighting volk went from 9 to a title foght

I’m your 401st subscriber!

I dont disagree with the destroying lesser fighters will bring more eye balls than a closish fight that goes the distance

That was a good video

(People discount Sean's skills due to his opponents but in reality its impressive if anyone can perform how O'malley has performed. That's what people don't understand.) He started MMA young and basically with no background in combat sports. A lot of people underestimate O'Malley but I feel like his striking skills, fight I.Q., movement, feints, stance switches, timing, strike diversity, is some of the best there is. He proved his striking output cardio endurance in that record setting output against Green haired Kris Mutino. He can strike around high guards. He understands how to put velocity/power on his shots. Even when moving backwards. He abstractly flows with how a fight unfolds. He's shown he can make really good reads in the moment. There are many great bantamweight fights to make. All will be awesome to watch. There's insane talent in this division. Regardless of how u feel, It's going to be awesome to watch O'malley vs Cory/Henry/Aljo 2/Petr Yan 2/Rob Font, etc. Sean just had to take a longer break since Henry got his chance to jump in against Aljo. Nowadays we cannot accurately measure with PPV buys. (The UFC hasn't accepted it yet) Also most people thought we were going to see another boring Aljo win. Just like how Aljo beat Henry/Petr Yan/TJ, etc. So what press conferences aren't his thing? They are lame most of the time anyways. Sean is interesting to watch in other videos. I prefer when he appears in other videos, vlogs, collabs, etc. End of the Day: What matters most is How can these people perform in the octagon? Some people can't even speak English at press conferences or barely say anything, yet people still respect their performances in the cage. Idk why people can't say that this dude is a unique talent, regardless if they like him or not. He isn't the next Conor. He is Suga Sean O'Malley.

Use of social media, being placed on great cards, lack of stars in the UFC. Being Dana’s boy has its perks.

that TJ tweet lol

Personalities is more valued than skill in boxing and mma. Not saying its right its just that way

Great vid mate! Just double check, you made some mistakes. Other than that, great content

Sean fighting lower class competition is not a problem, he was young talented had potential so they let him get accustomed, boxers fight 20 people before they fight stronger opponents. Sean not accepting defeat is not a problem, he made perfect sense unlike the critics, same with the peds no charisma, not a problem. The only criticizm him having a weird relationship with his wife and the Yan fight, Sean lost it, he was cheating in that fight, he still looked good, the UFC did the right thing

He has brought no new fans to the ufc, he’s fun to watch don’t get me wrong, great fighter but he’s not a superstar, no casuals are tuning in to watch him

O'Malley has a fan frendly style(striker that has spinning heel, and wheel kicks is exciting fighter to watch),he knows how to market himself(podcast and clothing line made him plenty of money and got him a Lamborghini)

This guy's personality is even faker than Colby Covington, he tries to be this party bad boy rock star but he acts like a dude in a Halloween costume more than anything. With that said he has played the UFC game outside of the octagon better than literally anyone else who has ever done it. He listened to Uncle Chael, Conor, all these O.G.s and has played the fight game flawlessly.

8:28 he literally punched him in the eye, it wasn't an eye poke. Pedro even held the eye he punched afterwards instead of the one he "poked".

He was on That was epic prank channel twice which got him lots of views

Cover all combat sports stars 🔥

Great job putting down this video. keep the level and try to stay unbiased and if u do keep it entertaining

Video thumbnail idea:- Donald McDonald after escaping Mac D

He is a very entertaining and skilled fighter. The end.

I'm not going to lie I was a hater for awhile but he's proven me wrong time and time again, so props to him.

It’s like watching Forrest Griffin do a Connor McGregor impression. Hes one of those dudes who thinks financial and professional success is synonymous with emotional and intellectual maturity. Hes just a corny 20 something with growing up to do, how many of us dudes were the same way and didn’t have any belts or money or notoriety?

LAME excuses. Bad Character

His style is sick and undeniable. He’s clearly got dynamite in his hands. O’Malley will go on a nice reign. He’s ganna ko chito within 3 rds. And he’s going to ko merab(who I really enjoy) cold

Great video!

I'll never hate on O'Malley simply because he ended Aljo's so called "Title Reign".

yan defeated cory sandhegan not 2 fights losing streek!

Chito has so much more swag

5:18 TJ bro 😂😂😂

And STILL...Suga is Champ...he will become P4P #1 in the next 2 years... ⌚

wonder if youll give sean his props after saturday or just keep being a gatekeeping hater

Upon starling title bout numbers, it seems like his followings demographic isn’t capable or willing to pay!

He died his hair and got face tattoos that’s what

Do you have an Instagram for this channel man?!?

Its not wwe. He got there by winning fights

He makes 500k guaranteed??? holy fuck dude

Sean o malley is not a businessman he is a business mahn

Say what you want he beat the champ for the belt lol 😂 hate all you want he’s a bad ass

To be fair Henry just failed lost his last fight which was for the belt, Cory is hurt, Merab kind of missed his opportunity to get the shot and Yan just lost to Sean. That being said Chito is the logical next contender.

he a good dude tbh

Very smart dude

All the O’Malley glazers have shown themselves 💀

This is what all mma channels should strive to be, most mma channels have scripts that read like they were written by an ai, but this a surprisingly welll researched and informative video for how many subscribers you have, you earned a new one

I just ignore him outside the cage...he's great when he fights.

10:53 "UFC superstar" bruh needed an english to english translator Nate style that was brutal lol

Slight mistake about Yan before his O’Malley fight. Yan was on a 1 loss streak at the time. After his DQ loss to Aljo he became interim champ by beating Cory Sandhagen

O'Malley isn't the only fighter to duck competition According to Chael most fighters do that Look at Jones vs Francis Or Stripe v. Apinal O'Malley is just open about it

He’s just a chill stoner that beats tf outta people how can you hate

Exactly. He just copied Conor’s patter but delivered it in an American accent. Problem … he needs to fight top names first. Let’s see that. Conor proved it. Two weights. Two organizations. Belts. Sean is all talk. I get it. It’s business… but he will get found out when he faces someone who can fight.

He is a good fighter... but he started promoting himself early and proved marketable.. created a gimmick (sugar show) and turned himself into a neon billboard (hair dye and tattoos)

The aljo knockout seemed sus from th3 close up

Sean do deal with anxiety problems so I give him a benefit of a doubt

he has a lot of fans but the demographic that he pulls don’t hug ppvs

if sandhangen doesn't get the fight in 24 then somethings up.

He is tough. And is also kinda funny.

Pls tell me the TJ comment was real lol
