This kid is the best thing that has happened to the bantamweight division. Everyone is slowly going to make more money in this division because it's only going to get more and more attention. Every weight class needs big names and fun fighters.
He gotta feed his children 🤷♂️😂
The guy is talking about leaving the division after 1 title defense against a guy who was like #7 till they moved him up the week before the fight.
The division is dead in Sean’s hands with him fighting once per year at this point and wanting to fight Featherweights.
@@suneelj93Topuria already rejected it so BW is good. Has to do with Merab being a fellow Georgian so he won't stand on his way.
@@suneelj93he literally fought 2 times in just under 7 months. He didn’t fight as often as a contender but as the champ he will absolutely fight more often and he’s already proven that
@@fitefeed as long as he doesn't break his foot or hand on opponents chins
I don't understand where the hate for Sean comes from. He is honestly pretty humble, he is very open to talk about his emotions, he keeps it real, he is low key funny, he truly seems to be kind and loving to his fam and he acts as a total professional and has not let success get to his head like some others.
Crazy how dying your hair and wearing pink sets off some people. Very telling lol as a mixed martial artist this dude is badass
Same, he's actually super humble. People sleep on him heavily but man has he gotten so good. Every single fight there's been progression it's insane.
hes a beast he should just stop comparing himself to mcgregor hes his own thing and he should own that
@@offwhite_vlone6339 the only time I’ve seen him compare himself to McGregor is in terms of being the wealthiest active fighter. Which is fair, considering they both created personas that have made them more money than anyone else in the UFC
Chito was his biggest hater. He must feel hurt. He was talking smack about him even after the fluke win
The mentality Sean has towards his body and sport is taking him way beyond his competition
And Merab will end him for good
@@TimKartvelibet you said that about his last 3 opponents
The The 😊e
@@TimKartveliFirst it was Aljos gonna kill Sean, and then he Kos Aljo and Chito, and now it’s Merab is gonna kill Sean and then after he Kos Merab it’s gonna be Ilia’s gonna kill Sean. Lol.
@@laaa210 Yan won. Aljo..early stoppage. So I was always right.
Sean put a hell of a show on 🔥
i think he beats merab, but it will be extremely hard.
@@stephenmarkelov1829I think you’d be surprised, if Sean finds he’s chin which he will, it’s gonna be bad for Merab.
@@stephenmarkelov1829If he can really get his td defense on lock which i doubt he can get better than henry but the knees from o malley will be so dangerous for merab and he can keep that distance like nobody else
Against someone that isn't a top contender
He ko'd the BW goat @@kingdavid5932
Suga trolling with the 0 losses here AND inside the octagon before his fight with Chito. Signature 🤣
Hi the Suga Commission reversed that decision. Its 18-0-0. He didn't have that No contest either
He has never lost
@@blablablaa14 yep. They originally ruled it a NC with the contingency that if he avenged the lost the NC goes away.
Standard procedure in the Suga State Athletic Commission by laws. People just need to read up 😂
People are so misinformed. The info is all there, Suga is literally telling them every time they announce him@@MansterBear
By his own admission, Sean let’s other men inside the mother of his child. That’s another L for Sean.
His attitude now is so on point he’s really grown into champ.
You can only hate on the guy so much before people start respecting his skills. He will also dust Merab by KO.
People hate for no reasons really...dude is a bit funny and pretty humble even if he doesn't look like it.
@@MrThibault6969huge fan but I can kinda understand the hate a lil.
not a chance in Hell he can beat MERAB... NONE! LMAO
@@markzzzzzzable I’m sure merab dad aljo thought the same
@@markzzzzzzableI'm sure you said Aljo was gonna ragdoll Sean too lmfao. Merab got easily rocked by Cejudo in the first round and nearly got put on death's door by the ghost of Marlon Moraes. Suga is putting that dude's lights out, Merab leaves so many openings.
I'm 99% sure Sean is just sitting in his sprinter van parked in his drive way for this interview and it is hilarious to think about.
Lmao
u can literally see the camera shaking constantly
He is 100%. He panned over to his daughter and is obviously in his Sprinter
Pretty sure in an interview he had earlier that same day he was busy and was going places all day lol 😭😭
@@dizy420 pretty sure last interview with Helwani was the same
sean is awesome
He will be more pretty when Merab picks him up and starts running around
@@TimKartveli funny, people said the fight with Aljo would go that way and it didn't
@@ericthompson9199 Aljo.. early stoppage
@@TimKartveli Aljo didn't seem to think so, nobody else seems to think so. Aljo got knocked out bro is what it is. Tell yourself what you want but the hype associated with Sug is real
@@ericthompson9199 Merab will get diabetes after eating Suga
that fight was pure text book precision - EPIC
Sean is a magical man. Hours of meditation before his fights, you can see that in the octagon. He embodies a sort of alter ego in the cage as well. Not to sound weird, but that’s the type of genius level mental conditioning that comes off as magic to the regular joe. I can’t think of too many people that I’ve seen locked in for a full 25 minutes in a cage fight like that either. Respect to Sean, never realized that homeboy was a shinobi wizard like that damn.
From snoop screamin his name while he was commentating his fight til now, you gotta give the dude credit he moved up quick
Glad to see Suga lookin confident after that win he just keeps getting better and better. He’s a star and a massive talent and you can’t deny it he’s proven it time and time again
I’d love to smoke up with Sean, he’s very down to earth. Also respect the work ethic and being a good father.
Gawk gawk gawk
@dwayne9486 is this your way of coping? Going to a sean o'malley video and saying "gawk gawk gawk" to anyone who says anything good about sean?
@@duckman5563down to earth and good father especially is just crazy
@@duckman5563"gawk gawk gawk slurp slurp" - duckman5563
@@vannynessa3035He is a good father, provides for he’s family and treats he’s wife and daughter like princesses. Just because you don’t agree with he’s relationship sexually doesn’t mean he’s a deadbeat. Because unlike your father he’s actually in he’s daughters life.
Suga State Athletic Comission 😂😂
Great interview. Suga Sean with the masterclass performance against Chito Vera. Happy to see him enjoying his big win. 👏👏👏
I love Sean more than I've loved any other fighter simply because he's so out of everyone's league nobody is even close to his skill yet everyone will still make excuses and never give him his credit
Enjoyed the interview. New subscriber.
As wonderboy said, Sean's distance management and deints are the best in the UFC man. This sean could KO merab and sandhagen man
he shoud have fought merab first then sanghegen wtf is suga vs number 6 chito like why man ?
@@georgedzagania9744easy money for him and the UFC
Chito fukked up his leg and tkoed him after sean was piecing him up. He wanted to prove he is better then him, and he did. @@georgedzagania9744
Hell no 😂 he not koing cory you guys mustve started watching 3 years ago and merab sweeps the floor with him even yan couldnt stop him
@@georgedzagania9744 blah blah blah....he's a prize fighter...figure it out. if he can he will therefore he did
Sugar got that McDonalds internet connection lol
Well he’s moving down the road
Well he’s moving down the road
Well he's moving down the road
@@El-gordo_ Congratulations you both repeated eachother you pair of herberts
Well he’s moving down the road
Don’t get the hate for Sean.. dude might not have charisma like connor but he is a dam savage n seems super humble… type of dude that would chop it up with u if u saw him in public
Some people just hate the brash look and the success.
If media people didn't ask stupid questions & people see Sean & Tim's day in the life Vlogs they'd see the real them. Tim said merab is next. Ilia's acting like he runs this place he hasn't even defended his belt. So Sean is motivated to be active in his division. All these people saying "oh Sean won't do this he's scared" are idiots. He's ready to prove stupid people that they are stupid. Regardless win or lose Sean isn't afraid of fighting anyone. Y'all will ALWAYS have something else to say NO MATTER what Sean does. So have fun with that mentality and attitude. Everyone held that chito loss over Sean's head FOREVER so of course he would want to get that rematch & other people were injured at that moment. Now he got that outta the way and can move on from here. It's exciting to be an MMA fan nowadays so let's enjoy it.
Yea people saying he’s afraid or merab so he’s going to fight Ilia need to use their brain. Ilia is way “scarier” than merab will ever be. If you’re scared, you don’t go pick a more dangerous guy to fight lol
@@MansterBear Yeah, Merab's only scary because of cardio. Topuria can sub, k.o you, outbox, wrestle you etc... He's more dangerous than Merab except cardio.
He should fight sandhagen
no merab
I'd like to see it. It's a better matchup for Sugar than Merab honestly but got to be Merab next tho.
@@MrThibault6969tbh I think the opposite merab keeps his chin up too much and O’Malley will sleep him with a knee know he gonna just shoot all fight Cory fights the same as Sean and he hasn’t fought anyone like him yet
@@chanothagod3618 If Merab gets in position to shoot its going to be horrible, he'll be diving at seans legs and get chinned. But I think he's going to get sniped from range and not even have a chance to shoot
lol
Suga was hunting for the finish every round, most champs pump the brakes and ride it out to a win in the last couple but the man just wants to perform every single round its admirable
I was afraid he would stink up the fight like Izzy but na he was there to fight .
Keeps proving himself time after time after time. Grew into quite the champion.
Sugar is one of the most entertaining and his striking and fighting IQ. Crazy
Congrats Champ Suga Sean O'Malley 👏🏻🔥. Big fan 🇵🇹
Buddy clips merab I put that on everything, cardio is literally his only problem. Can’t sub, no big damage, no control time, no threat on the feet, can’t be reckless with entries like he is with everyone else. Suga is honestly a nightmare matchup for merab. Aljo and Cory really is Sean’s toughest matchups
Maybe but it's true that Sean's height and reach will be a huge factor in the fight
How is cardio a problem?
Yes, but if Sean don't clip him in the first two or beginning of rounds it will be a long night for Sugar. After defending 20 takedowns he's going to be alot slower.
@@Daniel-us8vk gassed is the worst thing to be in a fight
@@Tr3theVon i meant to say how is sugas cardio an issue
Wakeup UFC and everyone else not wanting Sean vs Illia in Spain next. That is a proper mega fight.
Sean owes a lot to his coach. That iq all comes from him
He owes nothing more than what was agreed. Also IQ isn’t something you can transfer to someone 😂
@@thatguyigik1532 fight iq is learned. So is regular iq. Do you even know what iq is? I doubt it
He just seems different when he is on the mic for ufc than he is on the mic on his podcasts, ... I think he is indeed quite humble and respectful towards others. He is kinda cringe when doing press conferences
@@pyratellamarecordingstudio1062 your iq is determined by how good u are at pattern recognition, u can learn as much as you’d like doesn’t mean your iqs gonna go up. Just means u remembered some things & grasped them, that’s all learning is, Iq can be increased a bit but rarely drastically. For example a person with 97 iq points might increase his iq maybe 10 points more but it’s almost impossible for them to increase it by 20. U don’t know what ur saying. I can teach u mma doesn’t mean ur gonna be good. Otherwise every coach’s student would be at the same lvl. I train bro, my coach’s teachings play a factor in my sparring ofc but how I recognize patterns mid round is me & me only. However believe what you’d like lol. Just Google iq if it helps
@@kyankukkiwon agreed
O’Malley was right when he was talking about the backstage
Masvidal/Edwards fight. Could’ve booked that fight when that was fresh, but then we might’ve missed the 5 second knee.😎
Leon would destroy masvidal anyways. Hence why Dana vetoed that fight to keep Masvidals hype-train running.
@@Art-Sin Nate Diaz almost finished Leon you still mad😆
I love everyone going "he needs to fight THIS guy!" And people said it about Chito, Sterling, and theyre all the same outcome. Hes just the GOAT.
Ariel asking some dumb ass questions like are you happy lol
agreed so boring
Lmao. "Suga, did winning feel good?"
@davequag2795"it was feel. It was very feel."
Definitely not his A game lmao 😂
The gate numbers are not fause of sean lmaoo the gate was soooo high cause that card was stacked af from top to bottom...
fause?
I want to see Sean vs Cory. This will be the better of the options.
no merab
@@stephenmarkelov1829merab gets slumped in 2
I wanna see Omalley v Sandhagen
no@@Shooterindatooter
@@stephenmarkelov1829do you mean no merab? Or no, merab?
This was a great Suga interview - bro had natural humor and was very transparent
Sean: Thank you Uncle Ariel have a good one brother
Subscriber of your newsletter. Keep doing great things, guys. If you had to pick a favorite match up on draft kings to throw a couple units on, who would you go with
The performance against Aljo was perfect, but Aljo did come into that fight 2 months after fighting Cejudo and shortly after a surgery. I kinda wanna see em do it again at some point.
Cejudo fight was may 6 and O’Malley fight was August 19 was about 4 months apart, it is a fast turn around but it ain’t no 2 months
Sean’s face says it all
It says that he was in a 25 minute fight the day before?
@@MehdiEsfahaniUnless you are trolling he looks very clean for someone who went 25 minutes like 2 days ago
@@Zhimo98 you're right. I may have misunderstood the original commenter. I thought he/she is implying Sean took too much damage :D all good.
I think O'Malley needs to beat Merab and Cory before getting the featherweight title fight.
100%
Especially since he already had one chance to avoid the top contenders which he shouldn't have had. Him defending against a deserving contender is more than overdue.
I love the Cory fight from a fan standpoint, but it means nothing for his career progression. If he goes out and KOs Merab he has nothing really left to prove at 135.
@@ItsMe-ie3qjnothing to prove is a bit crazy, Volk didn’t go up till he really wiped his division. Besides Cory and Merab, there’s Umar and a potential Petr rematch. Ilia got work to do as well, we don’t want another Islam situation where he hasn’t defended against a true LW (not his fault)
@@ItsMe-ie3qj, what are you talking about? Sean can fight Merab, Cory, rematch that close fight with Peter. Hell even Umar. Sean was 11th or 12th and fought the #1 ranked fighter in Peter. And by then there will be some more contenders in line.
🔥 Banger bruh
Banger of other chicks besides his kids mom maybe..... And baby mam was a banger of other dudes too. Is that why you like him?
@@user-hj9em8oq6zMan’s source is the MMA Guru lol. Was he there.
Sean did great!
The Champ🙏🏿🇺🇲
Well you were totally AWESOME SUGA. I've watched you grow up in UFC and always knew you would be a superstar. And you already made i that far now it's all sailing right on through. Your fight number 2 could not have been fought any better than you fought it. It's all Super Show from here on out. I'm looking forward to whoever you fight next and take it all the way. Your At a very young age to take everything you ever wanted fr here n out to the long list of history makng star. Best of luck to you from here and forever. And im not one to judge but I ser nobody in your way from here on out. Take it to them all uu have no worries none at all. Live life to the fullest because you deserve it all . Until next time Sugar show be the man you already are.
He killed it 👏🏻
supe interview
What does that mean
There's a SOLID chance, Sean just did to Chito what Gaethje has been doing to legends, same thing with Rory vs Robbie.. After this Chito will get slept in one of his next 3 outings.
Come on Merab 👊
Should fight Merab next. But I wanna see him vs Sandhagen
Good lad 👍
You are a star Sean
I love whenever suga or chael says suga state athletic commission hahahaha
If Chael Sonnen is undefeated, never lost a round I think Sean O'Malley can also be undefeated.
If it wasn't already, it is officially The Sugar Show 🥳🎉
He definitely needs to prove he can clear his division first before a championship fight in another division
Followed this dude from beginning. This guy is very very smart. He's what would happen if you were able to mix an Eagle Scout and the Joker. He's the definition of "self made" and I quite enjoy watching his fisticuffs. Indeed, the sugar show continues.
Sally O'Malley is the most beatable champion on the UFC roster💯🤷
Then why didn’t the champ beat him ? Why didn’t Chito beat him ? Why didn’t Yan beat him ?
Member he's young and ready to grow
Oh snap. Sean's confidence has peaked!!
He broke chito and chitos face!.. 💯🤜🏻💥
Sean O'Malley vs Floyd Mayweather Jr 🔥
I just find it funny that people think professional fighters are scared of one another 😂
Yea. Like he’s afraid of Merab so he’s going to duck him to pick… ilia? Ilia is 10x scarier than Merab lol
Ilia might hit you with a life changing punch or kick. Merab will lay on you and if it gets too bad u give him ur back for a quick RNC lol. Thinking someone would dodge Merab to fight ilia bc they’re scared is silly
Ariel giggling like a girl when he asks these snakey questions lmaoo how does no one pick up on this
Most people just grow up and ignore it..
Mentioning it is the same as enjoying it.
@UnTangledUrn what a weird thing for you to try and take a moral high ground on.
@jessemccann9711 There's no mention of me being grown up. Maybe acquire the gift of reading comprehension before you Project your own problems with assumptions🤷🫡
@@UnTangledUrnyou’re big weird
Big fan of Sean! And i get whats he doing,..”he wants the biggest fights”
But if he & tupuria defend their belt 1 or 2 more times that fight with tuporia would be 10 times bigger!
We agree?
This guy ate Chito's soul and is not even rubbing it in more than he already did prior to the fight. That's why people side with Sean in the end. Even with all that hair dye, he's REAL as they come when he isn't obviously horsing around.
2:05 “well I’ve never lost so it’s hard to relate”
I can’t stand O’mally, but you have to respect his fighting ability. You also have to respect all fighters for having such a crazy job. I could not imagine waiting hours to put yourself into a car crash.
Chito is number 6. Come on man.
Sean call out holy holm in next opponent thats dhana love it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Sug might be the man for a while at 135. These other guys are smaller.
Suga state athletic commission cracked me up
Why don’t these guys just schedule the interview for when there at home next to the router?
Sean might be the funniest ufc fighter. Good dry humor.
Sugar VS Topuria, who wins? gimme your thoughts
ilia
ilia definitely
Did ariel say Miami is relatively close to Ecuador? Can somebody tell Ariel Ecuador is a country in South America not Cuba 😂
"back to normal life." As he's being chauffeured around to run errands 😆😆. Good for Sean though. Not hating. He works his butt off...
Suga Ducking Merab about 5 years But he can’t hide anymore! Let’s Go in Sphere! Mexican Machine will be motivated! 🇬🇪🇲🇽
“ decision machine”
Let’s go Boston
Sandhagen
lmaoo i like merab
The champ we always needed...the Suga Show ladies and gentlemen 💪🏾🔥
Sean is a hell of a champ. Will be champ for a long long time. Merab stands no chance, he will get pieced up and knocked out
Hell yeah your a fan of russ
Ilia is a much bigger draw vs Merab with Sean. I'm actually not interested in pure grapplers with Sean if they are short, it's going to be a nightmare to get close to him, he has some of the best footwork we've seen and his range is wild, it's going to be dancing around him piecing him up. Merab needs to first get ahold of him and then score the takedown and tbh Seans grappling so far has looked solid. I guess he deserves it but I'm not looking forward to it. Wish it was Ilia.
Is that Chris Cyborg or Rosas on Ariela wall? I cant tell
I will say IMA FAN. AND NO NOT AFTER HIS FIGHT BUT I WATCHED HIS DAY IN THE LIFE OF.....THIS YOUNG MAN HAS LIFE DIALED IN AND FIGURED OUT. A GREAT DAD,A GREAT PARTNER TOO HIS WIFE, SO DISCIPLINED... IDK HES JUST A GOOD GUY IN MY OPINION. IF I WERE A KID AGAIN I GUARANTEE HED BE MY ROLE MODEL. CONGRATULATIONS CHAMP. EARNED MY RESPECT AND IM SURE MANY OTHERS
CHAMP
If brandon moreno beating figeuredo with a weird eye punch that ended up injuring his eye counts as a win, then chito shutting down sean's leg with a completely legal kick DEFINITELY counts as a win.
Na
I hope Chito didn't suffer any lasting injuries.😟
he was playing Call of Duty yesterday bro. meanwhile guy's are grinding in gym. idk.
"Ilia is a star, not a superstar but a star" - Suga says when he enters to "If you are what you say you are, a superstar". Implying he is a superstar but Ilia isn't is great trash talk
Suga been a superstar since Contenders Series.
“It’s still a little bit choppy” ~ Ariel Helwani
Your Awesome and only getting better. Your the best to come out of UFC in a very long time. I put this song out for you. Suga Queen Another one bites the dust!!! Go SUGA Show you go anyway you want to. Your welcome however you go or look. I don't see. You looking looking anyway but Perfectly Awesome
Are you on drugs bud 😂
That's your 2nd Paragraph
Are you asking me if I'm on drugs? Well hell no. Why does the Truth hurt?::He's Awesome in anyway he wants to be. Member he's a Super star And can have anything he needs and wants. To bad you ain't a super star. 😅😅😅😂😂😂
Sean should get Cejudo on his coaching team to help him prepare for Merab
No
😂😂
Sean owns all Ecuadorian people
"I've never lost, so it's hard for me to relate." Mans never letting go of the gimmick, lol.
He did show that the first Chito fight was the fluke he always said it was. If not, why couldn't Chito kick his peroneal nerve again?
Sean is the best
Give CCC the fight with this guy
