"I love how much s**t Jake talks" - Sean O'Malley explains why he likes to watch Logan and Jake Paul fight
Sean O’Malley and Jake Paul have carved a unique niche in the combat sports world over the past few years.
O’Malley, a rising UFC star, has garnered widespread praise for his outstanding striking skills. ‘Suga’ has also been credited for his business acumen and ability to draw audiences who generally don’t follow MMA or aren’t avid viewers of combat sports. The 26-year old KO artist has a strong social media presence and has frequently collaborated with notable social media influencers.
Sean O’Malley recently appeared on Adam22’s No Jumper podcast and explained why he loves watching Logan and Jake Paul fight. O’Malley said:
“See, for me, like, those fights, like, for Jake vs. Ben I was so much more interested and intrigued than 99 percent of UFC fights. Like, I’d rather – unless it’s a Conor fight, like a Diaz fight – unless it’s a huge fight, or it’s one of my buddies, I don’t really watch the UFC too much. Like, I don’t get too excited, I mean, same with Bellator."
"I like watching exciting fights that are interesting, like, what the f**k. And even Logan vs. Floyd, I was sitting on my f**king chair, like, sweating, like, what the f**k. This is crazy. Jake vs. Ben, Jake vs. Tyron, I’m gonna go to that. It’s gonna be f**king sweet. For whatever reason, I’m just super entertained by those (fights). And I love how much s**t Jake talks ‘cause it’s like, it makes that fight so much more interesting.” (*Video courtesy: No Jumper YouTube channel; H/T Sportskeeda for the transcription)
