Suga’s title run surely earned him the bantamweight gold and significantly increased his value.

Nevertheless, his recent revelation about his father has raised some questions from the fans.

Sean O’Malley’s father is Dan O’Malley, a retired narcotics officer. His relationship with his father is good. ‘Suga’ has confessed that his father never stopped him from following his passion.

Fast forward to today, O’Malley is a multi-millionaire and a UFC champion. Yet, despite his millionaire status O’Malley wants his father to drive him everywhere he goes!

In a recent confession, O’Malley said “Trying my dad to move down here like a full-time job. Drive me anywhere I want”. O’Malley’s random confession got the attention of fans. Making your father your driver didn’t sit well with the MMA community.
