Sean O’Malley’s MMA record is 18-3 (1NC), with the next phase of his career incredibly important following back-to-back defeats at the hands of Merab Dvalishvili for the UFC Bantamweight Title.
He is considered an outspoken, established bantamweight with an array of skills and frightening knock-out power. Despite still being a relatively new kid on the block, O’Malley has proved that he is an elite fighter at 135-pounds.
As well as earning millions inside the octagon, Sean O’Malley likes some of the finer things in life too. He is believed to live in a mansion with his beloved wife Danya Gonzalez, as well as having a collection of super cars and expensive jewellery.

Sean O’Malley Career Earnings
‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley has been earning highly lucrative purses ever since he first signed for the UFC. Given the star power and draw he has had from the outset, he has been earning some enormous purses in all of his UFC fights to date.
According to MMA Salaries, Sean O’Malley’s career earnings inside the octagon equates to around $12m. This is far less than the likes of Conor McGregor, Jon Jones or Israel Adesanya, but is still a pretty lucrative number for someone competing in the bantamweight division.
This figure of $12m is mainly down to his success over the past three years. ‘Suga’ earned his first seven-figure purse when beating Pedro Munhoz at UFC 276. His second seven-figure payday came against Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292, where he became the UFC bantamweight king in the process.
The single biggest purse of O’Malley’s career came at UFC 306 at the Sphere in Las Vegas. ‘Suga’ reportedly pocketed somewhere in the region of $4,142,000 against Merab Dvalishvili in their first fight, despite losing the contest via decision.
The rematch at UFC 316 saw O’Malley defeated again, this time via submission. Despite losing back-to-back fights against Dvalishvili, O’Malley still pocketed a $1,980,000 purse.
For his maiden 135-pound UFC Title defence in his rematch with Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera back at UFC 299, ‘Suga’ was reportedly paid a handsome figure of $2,317,000, per MMA Salaries.
Along with his five seven-figure purses in the UFC, O’Malley has also earned some lucrative paydays along the way. He reportedly took home $356,000 after beating Petr Yan at UFC 280, as well as several other six-figure paydays prior to that.
Don’t be surprised if ‘Suga’ earns upward of seven figures in all of his UFC fights going forward. Not bad for someone competing in the 135-pound division.
