Sean O’Malley has recently become one of the UFC’s biggest stars. To reach this point, he expertly employed a combination of social media and marketing. He is also no slouch in the octagon as he recently beat #1 bantamweight, Petr Yan. Owing to these ventures and his performances in the cage, ‘Suga’ is currently one of the biggest voices in MMA.
His boss, UFC President Dana White recently came under a lot of scrutiny over an altercation he had with his wife. A video showed Dana slapping his wife after she had done the same to him.

Now, Suga Sean has weighed in on this debacle as seen on the Bromalley Podcast. “I feel bad for Dana. His wife slapped him. That is RUDE. And it deserved a slapping back.” joked O’Malley. He continued, “I don’t know, it’s a tricky one. It’s like treating people how you wanna be treated.”

The UFC bantamweight has never shied away from sharing his opinion regarding something. And he was joking for most of the time as he defended White in a very tongue-in-cheek manner.
