Since his debut in the UFC, Sean O’Malley has been a hot prospect. The bantamweight superstar has put together a scintillating 8-1 record in the octagon. With a series of finishes, ‘Sugar’ has built his brand and turned himself into a must-see attraction. While everything continues to go right inside the cage for O’Malley, the fighter is looking to make big bucks outside it. He recently discussed the same.

On the DC & RC show, O’Malley said, “I actually recently sat down with the UFC. Re-signed with them. I had a great conversation with Sean Shelby. I go in there and I say, hey, I want to make this amount of money. How do I do that? What do I need to do as a business partner to the UFC to end up making the amount of money I want to make?”

For me, I want to get to a point where I’m making a million dollars a fight. Obviously, I’m not there right now, and that’s not what I’m expecting to make against Pedro. But that’s where my mind’s at.”
