In a recent episode of the Timbo Sugar Show, an elated Sean O'Malley was seen reacting to Dana White's comments on him and Pimblett for their emerging stardom.
Reacting to White's comments, O'Malley said:
"The Schmo asked him, his comparison to Paddy super stardom or whatever to the sugar show and he said It's f*cking. These guys that are out of the country, are in the United States, have like a whole country behind them. But when you can become a star in the United States, that's rare. Because the U.S doesn't really do that. They don't really back a fighter like Conor, Paddy or the other guys...That was cool."
