Sean O'Malley admits to taking OxyContin live on stream with Adin Ross, concerned fans react: "That's how they get you addicted"
Sean O'Malley made headlines this week after going live on Twitch while under the influence of OxyContin, a painkiller he took following surgery to repair a torn labrum in the hip.
The injury occurred before his UFC 306 fight against Merab Dvalishvili, which O'Malley lost by unanimous decision after being dominated in grappling exchanges.
During the stream, O'Malley appeared noticeably loopy, even calling fellow streamer Adin Ross for a freestyle session, much to the amusement and concern of viewers.

Fans quickly flooded the comments section, expressing worries about O'Malley's well-being. One user cautioned:
“That’s how they get you addicted”
Others echoed similar sentiments about the risks associated with pain medication.
""No wonder people get addicted to this stuff" This was the dumbest thing he could have ever done."
“Sean post-surgery on meds had Adin freestyling. New genre alert: 'Anaesthetic Anthem' 😂"
