UFC bantamweight contender Sean O’Malley credits his sudden rise in stardom to famous rapper Snoop Dogg. Moreover, he recently won against former bantamweight champion Petr Yan via the judge’s decision. In addition, this win has boosted him to the #1 contender in the promotion’s bantamweight division. It was a major jump in the rankings. Although he is doing well inside the octagon, he surprisingly credited his fan base outside the MMA community to the rapper.

‘Sugar‘ is on his way to challenge for the title. Moreover, he is just one step away from the promised land, one he dreamed into reality. However, it has been a quick rise as he started fighting for the UFC only in 2017.

The American MMA fighter has a stellar record in the UFC of 9-1-1. He is looking to march a title challenge against the UFC bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling. Many fans think that Sterling does not deserve the belt. Perhaps a win against the heel might work wonders for ‘Sugar’.
