Sean O'Malley's first UFC fight came in December of 2017, as an undefeated prospect, after getting a viral KO on Season 1 of Dana White's Contender Series. By 2023, O'Malley's ascension came to fruition as he became the undisputed Bantamweight champion with a knockout victory over Aljamain Sterling.

@@miklonarvaez7902 Think about the biggest stars in the Ufc currently. These guys are famous for different reasons and not being compared to Connor gives them more of an identity. Guys like Paddy Pimplett and Ian Garry aren’t even taken seriously anymore
