Sean O’Malley smokes a joint after his win over Aljamain Sterling in UFC 292, video goes viral
O’Malley, a fan favourite, celebrated discreetly with his friends and family after taking home the UFC gold on his first attempt. He also wore his boxing shorts while taking a few puffs from a large joint. O’Malley, 28, posted a video of himself puffing away on Instagram and shared it with his 3.2 million followers. O’Malley smiled and enjoyed the marijuana as he filmed himself in the mirror with his belt on.
Numerous supporters of the newly-proclaimed UFC champion left comments on the trending video. Even Drake, the biggest rapper in the world, offered his opinion despite having wagered $500,000 on Sterling to stop the O’Malley hype train. “This a hard video,” the star wrote. Snoop Dogg, who provided commentary for O’Malley’s Contenders Series fight in 2017, also added, “O. Malley. O. Malley.”
O’Malley has smoked joints before; he started doing so when he was just 19 years old.
Suga knocked out Sterling in the second round
The Bantamweight title fight between Aljamain Sterling and Sean O’Malley was the main event of the eagerly anticipated MMA show, setting off a spectacular spectacle. “Suga” O’Malley shocked everyone by winning the bantamweight championship in an unexpected turn. When O’Malley’s expertly timed right hook defeated the binding champion, the plot underwent a dramatic change that allowed “Suga” to take the necessary actions to win the championship belt.
The crucial moment occurred in the second round when Aljamain Sterling, the defending division champion, was knocked out by a blow from O’Malley. A startling development occurred when O’Malley’s right-handed counterpunch clearly shook Sterling, sending him tumbling to the ground in a matter of seconds. Acting quickly, O’Malley launched a barrage of ground-and-pound blows that forced referee Goddard to intervene and stop the bout, securing O’Malley’s victory and the championship. What he made from this victory is still a mystery, though.
How much money both will earn?
Sean O’Malley is expected to earn $350,000 as a base wage for the contest against Sterling, in addition to $32,000 in sponsorships, for a guaranteed purse of $382,000, according to reports. This amount does not account for potential further bonuses, such as performance of the night and win bonuses, which may increase his earnings to close to $50,000.
Aljamain Sterling, on the other hand, will also be paid a comparable sum despite losing because of his long-standing championship status. His wages consist of a $500,000 basic pay, $42,000 in sponsorship income, and a total guaranteed income of $542,000 for his career.
Even though there are other popular UFC fighters, this victory might propel him into superstardom like Conor McGregor, drawing sizable crowds to locations. It is fascinating to imagine how he will fare in the division after winning the UFC championship.
