Sugar Sean O’Malley: UFC’s rising star on why he feels he won despite the no contest, the story behind face tattoos, pink hair, skittle Lamborghinis & having an open marriage.
Hours after UFC 276 event in Vegas, we sat down with bantamweight star, Sugar Sean O’Malley, after his fight against Pedro Munhoz was ruled a no contest.
Explaining his disappointment in the outcome of his pay per view fight and his disagreement in the fight being called after an alleged eye poke…he is able to share the positive side that he was able to mentally break his opponent and describing in detail why he feels he won the fight.
Ryan, who was at the live event, breaks down the fights of the night with Sean and shares how he’s been a long time fan of Sugar Sean the fighter and his new found respect for him as a person.
Dropping out of high school and moving from Montana to Arizona to chase his UFC dream, Sean talks about the risk vs reward of controlling your own destiny and how his climb to fame and success has been steady.
In a honest and dynamic conversation, Sean explains his take on why he chooses to have an open marriage with his wife Dani and his perspective on why building love doesn’t have to follow the strict rules of marriage and religion. Channing jokes that he needs his advice to convince his wife of this perspective, while Fred asks how that philosophy may change over time now that Sean has a daughter and what his parenting practices will be when it comes to that situation.

The pivot is on 🔥 with the guests. Channing was right all along: " people make podcasts"
They can have anybody on and im gone watch. Their chemistry is that good
Ppppp

The old pod would be better but Brandon Marshall too emotional and weird. Plus ocho isn’t on enough.
@@leonsandcastle9977 aa
Love this podcast didn't know what to expect when they broke apart but pivot on top
Man Brandon was so tap on IAA as much as I loved it I feel he was mad annoying. Specifically the episode where they were talking about nba contracts and this dude was screaming at everybody…in my opinion that was the nail in the coffin..and the damn nascar bulljive
Brandon got no chill lol
Brandon just talks too much. And half the time imo he doesn’t add value to the conversation or he diverts the convo
no cap!
FACTS 💯
Damn I never expected Sean to be so humble and so down to earth I used to see him as just another Cocky UFC fighter but he is one hella smart guy knows his worth and how much he should learn about the Business side of the UFC
Check out his podcast, it’s good
All the suga fans already know this stuff that’s why we laugh when haters call him an idiot and a clown
@@ryanhooper01 yeah like in this podcast people see the hair and the tattoos and just judge, hopefully people will see he’s a really cool dude
☝️☝️💬
lol, I like when people realise the truth about Sean. everyone takes him too seriously when he's just being sarcastic too and I think that is part of the reason people have a weird preconception of who he actually is.
I really appreciate the work RC has put into knowing the sport, the culture, the athletes, etc. He's one of the only personalities from a different sport that I listen to when it comes to mma. Keep it up 🔥
Yeah didn't care for him a year or so ago but he's grown on me.
Who wants to listen to a casual discuss the sport?
@@nvmm166 obviously you … you’re under his podcast in the comments
@@jmoneygaming400 had no clue this podcast had Ryan Clark in it, I clicked because of Sean, it’s a shame Ryan Clark’s ESPN career isn’t going well
@@nvmm166 well he’s still on ESPN and doing good meanwhile you just hating
Never judge a book by its cover. This man thinks nothing like he looks. He has gained a new supporter. I’m cheering for you champ 🙌🏾👏🏾
Welcome to the suga squad!
This was an incredible interview. Sean was giving it up, Never heard him interview before outside of being with NELK. I support him even more.
☝️☝️
He has his own podcasts too theyre worth a listen.
He was also on Impaulsive
He goes on Patmacfee show. Great guest!
He was on NoJumper
It's clear who athletes from all walks respect, want to sit down and have real conversations with and that's what makes this Podcast so dope pivot. pivots and transitions in your life can either make or break you and they teaching us how to make the most out of all situations.
☝️☝️
Great episode! Sean O’Malley is extremely grounded contrary to popular belief, definition of don’t judge a book by it’s cover.
☝️☝️
And he's way more dangerous than Conor. I hope he makes the money he wants. Solid dude and a solid father!
Grounded haha he thinks he can beat khabib lol🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@BRONCO-ws5mp When did he say that? You can't even comprehend a sentence yet your best ability in life is leaving a KZhead comment.
@@ChuckwaldMartin 🤏🤏🤏🤏🍆
The Pivot is just flying to the top of the chart. Great content, Great dialogue/guests & it's just one after the next. Shoutout to the crew. Definitely on top of their game!
Fa sho! 👍🏿
so glad they left i an athlete
How does this pivot from a great podcast to one of the greatest podcast ever………it ain’t even been goin that long but damn!!!
It's all about chemistry and respect for fellow hosts!! Love The Pivot podcast ❤️

Been watching you guys since IAA days...fell in love with " football " through y'all ...love from the motherland(Africa, Ghana)✌️✌️
☝️☝️💬…
That’s a beautiful thing
This was totaaaaally unexpected being a massive MMA fan. Pivot always pivoting from expectations 👏👏👏
lol bro omalley has told this same story on a lot of pods... you clearly aint the fan you claim of mma lmaooo
10:15 Channing ain't lying. I was on UF campus around 2004-6 visiting my sister in college. We saw Channing jump through a closed car window and beat a nigga ass who was driving the car. (I forget the scenario but I remember he was 100% in the right for doing so). Dude got hands
WOW 😳
That’s right!!
“I’ve fought in the streets….I’m about 72-4.” -Channing Crowder🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This was truly an awesome podcast! Big ups to the trio that hosted it and allowing Suga Sean to give a much more in depth sneak peak into how his mind works and the positivity he continues to display even after a rough ending at UFC 276 Much support from VA!
This podcast really does an exceptional job of getting their guest to feel so comfortable in which they open up and talk about everything without a flinch. Amazing job!!! Best podcast out right now and just the beginning that’s the crazy part!
Honestly the best Suga Interview I ever watched.
YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY, HANDS DOWN THE BEST GROUP AROUND! you guys have great chemistry, great editing..., and most of all I love that you don't do the cookie-cutter questions and allow your guest to reveal themselves...good show guys
i’ll be honest, did not expect the interview to be like this. very open and honest conversation, keep up the good work everyone!
Blessing to these fellas and the content they have been providing. One of my favorite podcast to watch and I’m glad they have all types of people with different views on the show to provide different perspectives. Definitely get knowledge mixed with comedy out of every show. Thank you 🙏🏾
I would like to see Hines Ward. That man really could hit for a wide receiver. He would have some real battles with DBs back in the day.
☝️☝️💬
Sean landed a big punch to pedro eye in the 1st and he wouldn't stop rubbing it till the 2nd, once sean grazed Pedro's eye in the 2nd ( didn't poke him) pedro took that opportunity to get a easy out. I feel bad for sean dude is for real.
The Pivot is already doing way better than I AM ATHLETE just based off the people they bring in, the questions they ask, and the overall chemistry they all have
Agreed
Sean O'Malley definitely is smarter than he let's on. The dude already making bank before even making the top 10. The great thing is he is actually level headed and clearly cares about getting better as a fighter. Wishing nothing but the best for this man ✌️.
Which makes it so hard to understand why ppl hate him so much. His personality is great for the popularity of the sport. But the kid can fight and respects the sport.
These interviews just keep getting better & better 🔥🔥🔥 & I’m here for it all‼️
We need Derrick rose on here man. Ong that would be so Litt.
Indeed
☝️☝️💬…
He tried but he tore his ACL on the way
Perfect was my favorite player they would have a good ass interview fasho
Don’t be typing on god and then don’t be a real believer fool
Watched the Mike tyson interview last night and then yall hit us with this one too!..really enjoying this podcast yall are some down to earth just cool ppl. I never watch a full podcast except for this one
Sean is the definition of the new generation . His merch sells out, big on twitch and confident . Can’t wait till he face a top 5 fighter
You’ll be waiting a long damn time.
@Gee M you hating lol
@@nikeguy2 2 weeks later he's fighting the #1 guy
@@stillsmokntrees Yup; he’s going to get his ass beat. This is the last fight on his contract too, I guarantee you Dana finessed his stupid ass into taking this fight 😂.
He’s a superstar not a successful fighter yet😅😅 Still has a lot to prove especially after a no contest then getting #1 contender fight 😂 I like him just waiting to see him prove he’s a top 10 fighter!
Met Ryan Clark at my job at planet 13 in Vegas most humble person literally talked to everyone who came up to him and got a picture with him and told him how big of a fan of the pivot I am .
Planet 13🔥🔥🔥
This was an amazing conversation. I can’t even call these interviews anymore. Top 2 definitely not 2! Salute OGs
C’mon man you guys keep putting 🔥 out every episode. The content is organic and original when the conversations begin. Each guest has the lane to drive the talking points because it’s real and honest.
What an amazing podcast. Huge sports fan all around but football, bball, and MMA is where my hardcore fandom lies, no matter where the Pivot goes it's never a disappointment. What an amazing vibe yall have together along w/ the guests. Yall ask the fun questions, the tough questions, and the educational questions. No other sports podcasts brings all this
Sean was doing everything right. You could feel that he was about to turn up the heat. He'll get another opportunity, but I can understand his frustration, this was his time to prove a lot of people wrong and become a top 10 UFC fighter, on track for a title opportunity.
Well he just landed a Petyr Yan fight
Yea he's in trouble now with No Mercy
Champ
It’s awesome that Sean is one of the biggest “characters” in the ufc but also one of the most intellectual and well-spoken, it’s something you wouldn’t expect but it’s awesome
Your bar is not set very high. Come on, man. He speaks OK, but he's not an intellectual. Please.
@@johnnymokumba9620 Not an intelect you mean? Can’t try and sound smart if your really not lol
@@johnnymokumba9620 u a big dummy huh
@@artiles2k624 Where are you at? Keep that same energy, homie. I love when idiots try to front on someone else's intelligence but instead it backfires horribly and exposes their ignorance.
@@artiles2k624 yea u fucked that 1 up
First time watching this pod but Im a Suga fan so I clicked immediately.. damn y’all did a great job interviewing him but also making it more like a convo at times! Id love to see you guys get more ufc fighters on forsure! Getting to see them in a longer setting like this is so much better then the media they do before fights.
Just stumbled upon you guys. Great questions and great conversation. Subscribed boiii
Crazy yall got omalley just hours after the UFC ppv, this is so sick

Love the UFC angle you guys have been taking.

It was nice to see Sean be in an episode. He has that gene to carry a load of the UFC through his charisma
the IT factor
Man I’m glad I tuned in. I wasn’t going to at first, but I’ve been working on prejudging people for some time now. God has taught me that one can miss out on blessing when U do too much “prejudging.” Another good one fellas, I look forward to the next episode. Peace & Blessings To All!!! 🙏🏿
It's like three KINGS, Love yall keep it up kings thank you for your humble and openess..We need more open conversation period in these days and times, thank y'all for being your true self..
Another excellent episode gents. I look forward to these every week. The knowledge that is shared by y'all and the guest is being absorbed. Appreciate the hard work. Much love.

You guys really don't miss do you. Love the show, keep up the amazing work guys. So good to watch you guys have conversations with ppl without being spoken over by someone or your guest being asked each episode who's the X and who's the Z

Old news
Another awesome interview! Hadn't heard of Sugar Sean b4 this episode. Kudos 2 Sugar! Big Kudos to "The Pivot" 🥂🥰
This was a quality listen didn’t expect such good in-depth conversation and questions
found out about the boys channing and fred from the "other" podcast & y'all are really building a special platform here! more life and much love
☝️☝️
Didn't know what to expect from this podcast. I know about RC from his partnership with DC on their show. These guys genuinely sit down and converse. Not alot of people get this side of Sean to show.
The diversity of guests and how comfortable they are is why this podcast is the best. Wow. Peace from Mississippi. Love yall...
This podcast is definitely one of the better ones. Interesting guests with interesting conversations. Great job guys!!
As a person who works from home, good content is needed. The Pivot gives me life. I am so glad Fred and C separated themselves from IAA. Brandon is so toxic. I think he thinks he gets it but he doesn't. The Pivot is versatile with great content. Thank you guys for openness and transparency. Truly appreciate you guys. Keep it coming!
So proud of you guys. Love seeing you guys evolve!! 🔥
Tell me that you're proud of me too bro. Don't leave me out.
I have to give MAJOR props to The Pivot and how big yall podcast has gotten... Your guest and interviews have been real and on point and only hope yall keep evolving to something bigger... and to show us Black Men that we can make a difference in this field and we're more then just being blessed at a said sport...
Another 🔥 episode I’ve watched everyone since the day y’all started on IAA and pivoted and just stayed elevating everyone since Respect fellas
Just realized RC is tatted up once Channing called him out 😂😂😂
Hell yeah 😂😂😂
I thought this would be the old suga Sean . But it’s recently after the no contest . Good Job Pivot . Fast upload
First time watching this podcast. I really enjoyed it. Been a big Suga fan for awhile but I'll be checking out more of The Pivot podcasts in the future! Subscribed.

Suga Sean one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC, love his cool chill vibe, a really chill dude. Thanks for having him on the podcast 🙌😊
Thank you for this podcast. Absolutely amazing every time
This podcast is just incredible 🔥🔥🔥
That no contest pissed me off. It was my first time betting on ufc and getting into the sport and when I saw O’Maley was fighting I was pretty hyped. I hope we see a full fight with O’Maley soon because I love the way he KO’s somebody
You guys are killing this, thank you another great podcast 👏
Just listened to these guys yesterday for the first and I'm back for more brilliant questions and input 👏
I've always been intrigued by this kid...I never expected him to be this laid back and cool!
40:42 AYOOOO That man Channing has NO FILTER! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This podcast is about to be #1 in the states. Content is outstanding
Pure organic straight solid real conversation. Especially when they interview other athletes it gets deep. Easily my favorite shi to watch right now
@@b.o.1951 they really humanize these athletes and celebrities. A lot of people can’t comprehend these millionaires and all stars are very human people

As a die hard fan of Suga and Tim they have taught me so much about meditation,stoicism, eating clean, I was depressed and 250lbs and after a year of getting my mind right with Jiujitsu and Suga I’m now 170lbs and happy af
Love what these guys r doin with the pod ! Been here since first episode
The person you guys need to sit down with that no has had yet is Delonte West. You guys are the ones that need to that interview and be a resource to allow other to hear his story so he can be helped and get the help that he badly needs.
