Sean O’Malley, originally an MMA professional has recently shown much interest in the streaming space. Sean O’Malley nicknamed Suga Sean currently competes in the UFC’s Bantamweight division and his expertise in the field has also made him the UFC Bantamweight Champion. However, apart from his performances inside the ring, the 29-year-old has recently shown a lot of interest in collaborating with popular streamers.
Although rare, such instances where a celebrity from a different career path takes up live streaming are not unheard of. Several singers, rappers, and sports personalities have since gotten into live streaming since it is a viable career path and also allows them to connect with their audience on a personal level. Sean initially gained a lot of momentum after he appeared on Adin David Ross’s Kick livestream. They had an in-depth conversation about his final fight in UFC 299, and Adin promised the champ a nice car after his win.
Recently, Sean has collaborated with a few members of the Faze Clan, Hayden “Faze Nio” Eller, Kris “Faze Swagg” Lamberson, and Nick “Faze Nickmercs” Kolcheff. Along with this crew, the MMA champion went on to complete an entertaining 7-hour-long Call of Duty marathon stream, much to the delight of his fans. Naturally, Sean was proud of this achievement and even posted about it on X (formerly Twitter).
