Sean O’Malley has taken a massive step in his burgeoning career as a UFC star. While he has to rebound from his loss to Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera, O’Malley’s ceiling in the sport is still very high.
He has a charismatic personality with an exciting fight style. The comparisons to Conor McGregor may have come too soon, but O’Malley can more than hold his own.
Considering how important it is for UFC fighters to maintain a brand, having the right talent agency is of paramount importance. O’Malley has inked a contract to join VaynerSports, the same agency that recently signed Stipe Miocic and Michelle Waterson. They also have Curtis Blaydes and other top UFC fighters under them.

All of this may be for nothing if O’Malley cannot rediscover the form that made him a big deal. This is a relationship that is mutually beneficial for both parties.
