Joe Rogan Gets a Green Signal From Sean O’Malley as They Continue to Downplay PFL and Other MMA Promotions’ Status Before UFC- “More Eyeballs Are on You”

In a recent podcast episode on his YouTube channel, Sean O’Malley gave the fans a new perspective regarding the UFC. The UFC is one of the biggest platforms for any MMA athlete worldwide. However, new companies like Bellator and PFL have entered the competition.

While many fighters have made a shift from the UFC to different companies, Sean O’Malley has an entirely different take on this. ‘Suga’ is the current bantamweight champion and is ready to defend his title at UFC 299. But what are his thoughts on new MMA platforms?

O’Malley feels UFC grabs you more eyeballs

Every amateur fighter wants to become a professional, and the UFC provides many opportunities for them. Even during the pandemic, it made profits and entertained the fans. Some of the biggest names in the UFC are out of action currently, but the company made a profit of $1 billion in revenue in just nine months.

In a recent YouTube video, current bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley answered a fan question regarding a recent Joe Rogan statement: “Fighters wasting career outside UFC“. O’Malley replied, “I mean that’s what he said, but it sounds worse when you just read like a headline or something like that.” He further added, “If you are a professional fighter you want to be in the UFC. Even if you are not getting paid as much, you have bigger opportunity bigger for sponsors. You know more eye balls are on you. “

‘Suga’ completely supported Rogan and feels that every professional fighter should be in the UFC. The 29-year-old is currently in a winning role and will look to keep his momentum going. But who will the champion face next? 

UFC 299: Sean O’Malley vs. Marlon Vera for the Bantamweight title

UFC 299 will host two of the best fighters in the bantamweight division, going against each other for the title. ‘Suga’ won the title at UFC 292 after beating Aljamain Sterling via knockout in the second round. However, the current champion will be under pressure when he takes on Marlon Vera at UFC 299. In a recent X post, O’Malley picked his favorite fighter for the welterweight division, which got a response from Islam Makhachev. Makhachev, the current lightweight champion, then responded to the tweet in his own style and picked the next opponent for ‘Suga’ and even predicted the winner. 

‘Chito’ is coming off a victory against Pedro Munhoz at UFC 292 and is high on confidence. He boasts a record of 21-8-1 in the UFC and will look to snatch the belt away from the current champion, Malley.
