UFC star Sean O’Malley is no stranger to celebrating his wins. He’s also no stranger to get tattooed in his face.
To celebrate his bantamweight title, O’Malley just made a new face tattoo that says ”Champ MMXXIII”, which of course refers to him winning the belt in 2023.

It was early in the second round at UFC 292 that ”Sugar” landed a perfect right counter that sent Sterling to the canvas. The superstar took advantage of the position and was able to finish his opponent with heavy ground-and-pound.

Sean O’Malley won his UFC debut via unanimous decision against Terrion Ware in December 2017, at the TUF 26 Finale.
Since then he fought ten times in the promotion and holds a promotional record of 8-2.
His sole defeat came against the tough Marlon ”Chito” Vera in August 2020. ”Sugar” hurted his ankle early in the fight and Vera was able to score a first-round TKO.
“Literally the only thing that bugs me is I lost in a way where I feel like I didn’t lose, and I lost to a guy I feel like is not that good,” O’Malley later said about the loss.
