Sean O’Malley is undoubtedly one of the most entertaining fighters in the entire UFC roster with a massive fanbase. Apart from being a dangerous knockout artist inside the Octagon, O’Malley is famous for his hilarious activities on the internet. Recently, ‘Suga’ went viral after posting a funny parody video mimicking the popular viral Astronomer CEO on social media.

During Coldplay’s July 16 concert at Gillette Stadium, the Kiss‑Cam spotlighted Astronomer CEO Andy Byron hugging HR chief Kristin Cabot, prompting awkward reactions. Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin humorously commented, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.” Following the viral exposure, Astronomer suspended Byron and launched an internal investigation. He subsequently resigned, with Pete DeJoy becoming interim CEO.  

In his latest skit, the former UFC 135-pound champion humorously recreated the viral Astronomer CEO incident using a manikin during his session. Instead of hiding awkwardly like Byron in the viral video, O’Malley acted confidently by squaring up and punching the manikin playfully. This funny and unexpected twist quickly became popular online, drawing massive fan reactions and going viral across multiple social media platforms.

Before his last title rematch against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 316, O’Malley completely avoided social media to maintain strong personal discipline. Unfortunately, despite this approach, things didn’t go well as ‘Suga’ got dominated and submitted in the third round. O’Malley’s flashy style and huge social media following made UFC believe he could surpass Conor McGregor’s record-breaking mainstream superstardom.

After suffering significant defeats, O’Malley’s momentum slowed drastically, preventing him from reaching the Irishman’s unprecedented heights in combat sports history. However, O’Malley remains optimistic, showing no signs of demotivation, and is already planning an impressive comeback inside the Octagon.

Last weekend, Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier collided in an epic five-round war at UFC 318 inside Smoothie Center in Louisiana. ‘Blessed’ started strong, knocking Poirier down twice in the opening rounds with his signature pressure and relentless striking combinations throughout. ‘The Diamond’ responded strongly, nearly securing a third-round guillotine choke and rallying back in the championship rounds with aggression.

Ultimately, judges awarded Holloway a unanimous decision victory, successfully defending his BMF title while ending Poirier’s emotional retirement fight. Following his win, the ‘Blessed’ displayed incredible sportsmanship, encouraging fans inside the arena to loudly cheer for retiring Poirier. Sean O’Malley watched everything live, instantly reacting to the thrilling fight via an entertaining YouTube video 

Wow, I’m so glad neither of them got knocked out. I thought it was the perfect way to end it. I mean, obviously for Dustin he wanted to get the win there, but God, that was such a sick fight. Max Holloway officially at 155, I love Max at 155. So, who’s next for Holloway at 155? There’s Arman Tsarukyan. Imagine Max vs. Charles? That would be a sweet fight at 155. Ooh, Paddy (Pimblett) vs. Max Holloway at 155.

After UFC 318, Holloway confidently called out Ilia Topuria, expressing a strong desire to avenge his previous featherweight title loss. Holloway reminded fans of his competitive spirit, promising to reclaim his legacy by defeating the reigning 155-pound champion and regaining his glory. His bold challenge excited UFC fans worldwide. However, with top lightweight contenders, it won’t be that easy.
