Not only is Sean O’Malley the current UFC bantamweight champion, but he is also one of the most popular UFC fighters in the entire roster. He has been seen talking candidly on podcasts and weighing in on fights. Other professional fighters have expressed their admiration for him and the fact of the matter is that everyone enjoys a ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley fight.

O’Malley has a lot of friends. One of his dearest friends happens to be a really popular – almost legendary American YouTuber. Stephen Deleonardis happens to be a really close friend of O’Malley and has stood by him through thick and thin. In fact, Deleonardis happens to be a good friend of UFC President Dana White as well. That is why, when O’Malley won the belt at UFC 292, Deleonardis was definitely one of the happier people in the arena.

The TD Garden arena erupted when O’Malley silenced all his haters with a TKO win over Aljamain Sterling. Once he knocked Sterling down, he finished the job by raining down a flurry of fists, forcing the referee to call it in his favor. ‘Sugar’ was then seen coolly parading around the Octagon. It was, indeed, a legendary moment. UFC President Dana White was also really pleased with O’Malley’s performance that night.

However, Stephen Deleonardis, who was also in attendance, couldn’t control his excitement and happiness when his dear friend won the fight. He tweeted a video of O’Malley securing the win and then walking over to the Octagon fence, calm and composed. His caption was perfectly summarizing the feelings of a proud friend as he wrote: “I’m so happy“.

“There Goes UFC Fighters Health Insurance” – Dana White’s $250K Gift to the Nelk Boys Infuriates Hardcore UFC Fans

Sean O’Malley had his entire UFC journey discounted by his former opponent, who called his path ‘easy’ and said that he didn’t deserve the title shot. He also claimed that he was being handed the opportunity because of ‘Dana White privileges’, dragging UFC President Dana White into the equation as well. 

The Relationship between Sean O’Malley and Dana White’s friend

Famous YouTuber and podcaster Stephen Deleonardis is a close friend of both Dana White and the current UFC Bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley. The YouTuber, whose Twitter handle is stevewilldoit, has always stood by O’Malley.

When O’Malley was scheduled to fight Bantamweight fighter Pedro Munhoz, the YouTuber had apparently made up his mind to put $1 million into his friend’s victory. However, O’Malley, being a smart individual and also a good friend, openly advised against it. He said that anything can happen in a fight and clearly expressed that he wouldn’t be happy to learn that his friend lost $1 million, although he was quite confident of his victory. According to sources, the podcaster is worth around $5,000,000.

When YouTube issued a warning to the Nelk Boys, who are also pretty pally with Dana White, stating that they would take down their channel and their videos if Deleonardis featured in any of their videos, the podcast hosts were left heartbroken. Even O’Malley was disheartened to learn this and proceeded to call his friend a ‘YouTube legend’. He was visibly sad about this predicament.

Seeing this strong bond of friendship between two people from two very different walks of life was really heartwarming, especially in this day and age. However, it is clear that both O’Malley and Deleonardis have each other’s backs.
