UFC [https://www.ufc.com/] Bantamweight Contender Eddie Wineland is set to take on Sean O’Malley at UFC 250. The fight serves as the opener for the main card taking place at the Apex facility. Eddie Wineland spoke out via ESPN about his opponent and the various skills he brings to the fight. ‘Sugar’ Sean [https://www.essentiallysports.com/sean-omalley-makes-a-statement-with-his-hairstyle-ahead-of-ufc-250-ufc-news/] got his start on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series back in July 2017. Becoming one of the standouts of the show, the undefeated fighter has continued his winning ways inside the Octagon. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Sean-oMalley.jpg] O’Malley is known for his crisp stand-up and laterally focused movement inside the cage. He returned to the Octagon after just over two years due to a potential doping violation handed out by USADA. The highly touted prospect had a spectacular Knockout upon his return, bringing him into the headlines. Eddie Wineland has clarified that his experience and battle-tested approach will be the deciding factor in this match-up. Wineland gave an in-house interview ahead of UFC 250, and expressed his eagerness to compete. Eddie Wineland has been irregular inside the cage, having fought only once each since 2016. The Veteran Bantamweight, however, has shared the cage with some of the most prolific fighters in the division. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/E.-Wineland.png] Having fought the likes of Urijah Faber, Brad Pickett, and Renan Barao, Wineland believes his veteran status and years of training at an elite level will be enough to secure the victory this coming weekend. EDDIE WINELAND SOUNDS OFF “It’s a big opportunity for me and it’s a big opportunity for him also. He’s fighting a veteran and I’m fighting a guy who..he’s got a huge name although he’s been in the UFC not that long. “It is what it is. If it derails him, it derails him. I’m sorry, but I’m here to win. He’s young and got a few years in the game, but he’s put everything together.” He continued on to explain, “I’ve mixed it up with the best in the world. Not that Sean couldn’t do it, he could mix it up well with those guys. But I’ve been there and done that”. The Bantamweights veteran status and confidence are well justified. Eddie had his first professional fight when ‘Sugar’ Sean was just 9 years old. Will the aging veteran pick up a victory over the young contender? 

Eddie Wineland is slated to face off against Sean O'Malley at UFC 250. Wineland
is coming in the underdog again Sugar, who is hot as ever.

<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.

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>
