Is Sean O'Malley's taste in cars a reflection of his fighting style—flashy and bold?

If you are a car connoisseur and UFC fan then you are in luck because ‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley has one of the most stunning car collections that you can ever witness. However, this collection was not made in one day.  Sean O’Malley gained his bantamweight championship title against Aljamain Sterling and is sitting at the top of his weight class with a net worth of around $2-3 million. He has a pretty luxurious life from all the earnings from the UFC as well as his endorsements from different brands like Reebok and Venum.

He was born in Helena Montana to a nurse (mother) and a police detective (father). He did not grow up in a very luxurious environment, but today he is fulfilling his dreams. ‘Sugar’ loves UFC but he also adores cars which is evident from his amazing collection. So let’s dive deep and see how many cars the star has and what kind they are.

Sean O’Malley’s famous pink Lamborghini

If you know then you will know that he has a bright hot pink Lamborghini which is often featured in a lot of his videos and pictures. You might think that the pink Lamborghini with neon green accents was just a markdown for the love of cars but there is more to it. The champion revealed previously that there was a business strategy behind purchasing the pink Lamborghini. His customized Lamborghini Huracan is worth $210,000.

‘Suga’ had appeared on Michael Bisping’s Believe You Me podcast and the 29-year-old said that buying the expensive and luxurious sports car helped him save a lot of tax. This is surprising because the color of the car was almost similar to his merchandise. “I justified it as a tax write-off. I mean, I guess it is. You know, I got a certain loan because I wrapped it in the color of my [merchandise], it’s an advertisement. I dropped the watermelon Suga, the pink and green merch, [which] happens to be the same color as the Lamborghini… It’s marketing. Now, it’s just sitting in my garage. I take it out for a little spin every once in a while. But yeah, it’s f**king fun, I love it,” he said.

This is a genius move because he could hit two birds with one stone; get his dream car and save on spending money on tax. The champ with 18-1-0 has an amazing business mentality and uses it to the best of his abilities.

O’Malley gifted himself a sports car after becoming the UFC champ

Sean O’Malley not only buys cars for himself but is generous enough to even gift to his friends. While the fighter enjoys the fruits of his labor, he also ensures that his friends and teammates are treated lavishly. He gifted Ezra Elliott who helped him rise to the top with a brand-new car. This is because his friend had crashed his car a few weeks before getting the gift.

His friends are exactly like him in the gifting department and pamper the champ a lot. He got a gift from Adin Ross which was also metallic hot pink and was a convertible custom Suga 1975 Chevy Caprice. This was a gift from his bestie after the champ won at UFC 299 against Marlon Vera.

Does Sean O’Malley own a Tesla? Other cars in his collection

He has more than one car and each of his cars is luxurious and vibrant in color. Among them is one that can compete with the pink Lamborghini. It is the bright Sebring Orange Chevrolet C8 Corvette. He also owns a Tesla Model Y from 2021 in a bright orange-yellow colour.

He also has a Ferrari F8 Tributo, this supercar is powered by a 3.9-liter twin Turbo V8 engine. It has a whopping 710 horsepower with 568 pounds foot of torque. He loves his cars just like his children and even recently did a massive fantasy factory door. He finished his Fantasy Factory MMA training facility and decided to show the facility along with his supercars and training equipment. His bright pink Lamborghini and Ferrari stand proudly in his training factory.

Now ‘Suga’ is going to headline the biggest event in UFC: UFC 306 at The Sphere. Do you think he will buy another car if he wins?
