Sean O'Malley, the reigning UFC bantamweight champion and the 8th ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the UFC, emerged victorious in his title defense against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292. O'Malley astounded the world when he delivered a knockout blow in the third round of the bout.
The fighter, who is 29 years old, is renowned as one of the top trash talkers in the UFC. However, he recently became the target of trolling by Sean Strickland, the UFC middleweight champion.
Strickland questioned O'Malley's relationship with his wife, suggesting that he was allowing other men to be intimate with her.
In response, the UFC bantamweight champion fired back at Strickland, stating, “At least my dad didn’t f*ck me.”
Sugar has an impressive record of 17 wins and only 1 loss in his professional career.

When I first met Danya, I told her, ‘I don’t know why anyone would f*** the same chick for the rest of their life, I can’t do that.’ So she knew she wasn’t in love with a phony me. We’ve had some dope threesomes. Every relationship should be okay with it, that just needs to happen,” he further explained.
