UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has made a small climb up the ladder of the promotion’s pound-for-pound rankings.
For the last month, Sean O’Malley has been living the dream. He has quickly become one of the biggest stars in mixed martial arts as a result of his TKO win over Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292. Of course, some would argue he already was, but he’s certainly taken his game to a whole new level.
‘Suga’ is a fascinating character and serves as a huge reason why there’s so much intrigue around the bantamweight division right now. Of course, moving forward, there are still plenty of questions regarding what the future holds for him.
