Sean O’Malley made a quick return to the UFC [https://www.ufc.com/] with a bang. He is now the fighter with the 3rd longest active winning streak in the Bantamweight division. However, the manner in which he did so and the seasoned opponent he beat makes the fight even more impressive. SEAN O’MALLEY SECURES THUNDEROUS FIRST-ROUND WIN ‘Sugar’ was returning for his 2nd fight in 3 months after a 2-year gap due to failed tests. However, it didn’t seem as though the youngster missed a beat in his time away. He landed a clean and vicious right hand at 1:54 seconds in the first round. Following that the 25-year-old did not even bother to follow up thereby prompting the referee to jump in. He just performed an insane walk off and basked in the glory of an unblemished 12 fight MMA record. ‘Sugar’ was bouncing all around but looked to be aggressive right from the start. Wineland too looked to back up his claim of being aggressive. Right from the outset MMA fans watching the fight would have been expecting a finish. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/3f66eff0-a867-11ea-b7f7-5ce392e10993.jpg] Wineland fired a right to send ‘Sugar’ into the cage however, he just got back in and regarded his opponent before landing a spinning kick to the midsection. He landed another kick before catching Wineland in the jaw. Following the salvo, he went for a spinning head kick. However, the veteran avoided it. But the end was nigh. ‘Sugar’ opted to feint an uppercut, he goaded Wineland into defending the move thereby leaving himself open to a straight right that sent him crashing to the canvas. The KO win will see ‘Sugar’s stock in the MMA world. Furthermore, he will look to back up his performances as he indicated in the post-fight chat with Joe Rogan. Here ‘Sugar’ branded himself the best striker in UFC history. Furthermore, he gave fans a glimpse of himself belief as he said he did “absolutely nothing” different despite facing a 37 fight veteran.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Sean O'Malley? </strong></h2>
Sean O'Malley, aka 'Sugar', is one of the most skilled up-and-coming UFC fighters of this generation. The rainbow-haired UFC phenomenon captured the Bantamweight Championship Title in August of 2023 against Aljamain Sterling

The rising UFC superstar had also dipped his toes in other combat sports before becoming a full-time mixed martial artist. O'Malley isÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.ufc.com/athlete/sean-omalley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">4-0</a>Â in kickboxing, 2-0 in amateur boxing, and 1-0 in professional boxing.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Sean O'Malleyâ€™s Early Life</strong></h2>
Born in Helena, Montana, on October 24, 1994, O'Malley grew up in a family that encouraged athletic pursuits. While still a teenager, O'Malley discovered the world of mixed martial arts. It is not news that Suga is good at what he does.

As per his own account, <em>"I remember when I was 16 years old, I just went and started kickboxing, boxing and just kind of sparring. And just kind of had this natural ability and I think some people are truly born knowing how to fight, and I found that and I became obsessed with it." </em>Certainly, O'Malley's early life laid the groundwork for his future success in the UFC.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Sean O'Malleyâ€™s Wife and Children</strong></h2>
<p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:100">Sean O'Malley is married to <strong>Danya Gonzalez</strong>. Danya is a businesswoman herself, holds a degree in cosmetology, and even is a professional hairstylist.Â Their relationship has been a prominent part of his life, providing support and stability as he has navigated his successful MMA career. And as fate would have it, the two met at Suga's gym wherein he trained with his coach, Tim Welch.</p>
<p data-sourcepos="3:1-3:100">The happy couple also has grown their family with the birth of their daughter <strong>Elena</strong> in 2020.</p>

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">Sean O'Malley: Net Worth and Salary 2024</h2>
As of August 2024, O'Malley has amassed a huge fortune, estimated to be approximately $3 million.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Sean O'Malleyâ€™s Career Timeline</strong></h2>
O'Malley's first fight under the UFC banner was at the Dana White's Contender Series. 'Sugar' fought Alfred Khashakyan on July 18, 2017, on the second week of the show, where he claimed a spectacular first-round KO victory.

</figcaption></figure>
Then O'Malley had his first UFC bout against Terrion Ware on December 1, 2017, at 'The Ultimate Fighter 26 Finale' fight card. He defeated Ware via unanimous decision, which also helped him ink a permanent deal with the UFC. After that, he fought against Andre Soukhamthath on March 3, 2018, at UFC 222 and won via unanimous decision.

In his fight against Thomas Almeida at UFC 260, O'Malley claimed an impressive third-round KO victory. Thereafter, he fought the UFC newcomer Kris Moutinho at <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/ufc-264-poirier-vs-mcgregor-3/" target="_self" rel="noopener">UFC 264</a>, who replaced Louis Smolka. This ended with a TKO in Suga's favor and he was awarded the Fight of the Night. His next bouts were against Raulian Paiva in UFC 269, and Petr Yan in UFC 280, which Suga clinched with Punches and a split decision win, respectively.

O'Malley then grabbed the Bantamweight champion title against Aljamain Sterling in UFC 292, followed by a title defense against Marlon 'Chitto' Vera in UFC 299. Now, Suga is slated to defend his title once again in UFC 306 against none other than. Merab Dvalishvili
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Â Sean O'Malleyâ€™s Contract</strong></h2>
In early 2023, it was reported that 'Suga' signed an extension with an eight-fight contract. On his own podcast, O'Malley disclosed, <em>"I got a number that I'm very happy with. I truly don't think any manager that I had could have went in there and got me what I got. That also helps with the relationship built with the UFC. I feel like I have earned this contract. I feel like I have earned the amount that I'm getting paid."Â </em>

Although the exact terms of his contract, including its length and financial details, are not publicly disclosed, yet, given his status as the UFC Bantamweight Champion and his growing popularity, it's safe to assume that he has a lucrative deal in place.
