‘Sugar’ was born and raised in Helena, Montana, in the United States. Although, not a lot is known about his parents and siblings. O’Malley admits that he took to the sport to become self-confident and at first did not have any plans of pursuing a career as a fighter. It was during this time that a coach nicknamed him ‘Sugar’ as he was ‘sweet to watch’.

O’Malley initially fought in his hometown and amassed a perfect record of 5-0. He then decided to move in order to further his career and fought at LFA 11 before being called in for Dana White’s Contender Series. The rest, as they say, is history.
