Kyle from NELK tells Sean O'Malley about their experience in Russia
During their appearance on episode #225 of the TimboSugarShow, Kyle Forgeard of NELK Boys recounted his experience in Russia to UFC star and podcast host Sean O'Malley.
Kyle Forgeard from the NELK Boys YouTube channel shared that they went to Russia to film a prank video and create content for his YouTube channel. He admitted that they were initially nervous about the language barrier and cultural differences, but they were excited to explore a new country and have some fun.
However, Kyle also recounted that their experience with Russian airport customs was not so pleasant. He explained to Sean O'Malley that customs officials gave them a hard time examining their passports and luggage, which made them feel uneasy and somewhat suspicious of their intentions.
The 28-year old American YouTuber stated:
"Custom's was definitely sketchy When we landed you just kinda felt the vibe. When we were going through custom's and sh*t, you see in the Russians writing and all that. That's when I was like, fu#k, are they gonna make an example of us and then one by one magnifying out our passports and sh*t."

Kyle described the experience as "sketchy" and said that the officials were asking them a lot of questions and seemed to be scrutinizing them more than necessary. He admitted that he understood the need for security measures, but felt that the officials were being unnecessarily aggressive and intimidating.
Sean O'Malley extends his UFC deal by eight fights
Sean O'Malley, the No.1 ranked bantamweight contender who first made his mark on Dana White's Contender Series, has signed a new contract extension with the UFC that will keep him with the promotion for the foreseeable future. The new deal is for eight fights, and was negotiated directly by O'Malley himself, who had previously announced that he was acting as his own manager.
UFC president Dana White confirmed the news of the contract extension and 'Sugar' also discussed the deal on his own podcast. This new contract is a significant step forward for O'Malley, who has quickly become one of the most exciting fighters in the UFC's bantamweight division. It's also a clear indication of the promotion's faith in O'Malley's ability to continue to grow and succeed within the promotion.
Securing Sean O'Malley for a long-term contract is a smart move for the UFC, especially as the talented 28-year-old fighter approaches title contention in the bantamweight division. O'Malley's impressive win over former champion Petr Yan in October 2020 demonstrated his skills and potential as a top contender in the division, making him an attractive asset for the promotion.
