Sean O’Malley smokes JOINT hours after UFC 292 KO of Aljamain Sterling and is praised by rappers Drake and Snoop Dogg
SEAN O’MALLEY smoked a massive joint just hours after claiming the UFC men’s bantamweight title.
Suga reached the pinnacle of the sport early on Sunday morning in the main event of UFC 292 in Boston.
The Dana White‘s Contenders Series star ended Aljamain Sterling’s dominant run in the division with a viral second-round knockout.
Fan favourite O’Malley enjoyed a lowkey celebration with his friends and family after winning UFC gold at the first time of asking.
And he also enjoyed a few puffs of a big joint while donning his fight shorts.
O’Malley, 28, shared a video of himself puffing away with his 3.2million Instagram followers.
A jubilant O’Malley filmed himself with his belt in the mirror as he smiled and enjoyed the joint.
He told himself: “You are the man. You’re the man. “You are the man.”
Scores of the newly-bonafide UFC superstar’s followers commented on the viral clip, with one saying: “Well deserved champ.”
Another said: “Smoking on that Aljo pack love to see it, CHAMP!”

And another said: “Smoke that champs pack.”
One remarked: “The man himself.”
Another chimed in: “This guy is a real mfer! Congrats!”
Even rap superstar Drake commented, despite placing a $500,000 bet on Sterling to derail the O’Malley hype train.
The ‘Over’ star wrote: “This a hard video.”
Snoop Dogg – who commentated on O’Malley’s Contenders Series fight back in 2017 – also chimed in, writing: “O. Malley. O. Malley
“The Suga show starts now. Great work, Nefew.”
O’Malley is no stranger to smoking joints as he began puffing on marijuana at the tender age of 19.
He revealed to comedian Andrew Schulz: “When I moved to Phoenix… to like take a puff and I did and I remember the first time I got high.
“I just laughed. And I’m always like go, go, go, go. go, so at night I’d smoke and I’d be like, I kind of chill out.
“I was like 19, which I don’t recommend.
“I would, I’d suggest, if you are gonna start smoking, you, wait till you know I think, you’re fully developed like 25 or 23.”
O’Malley ushered in the Suga era at bantamweight by beautifully evading an over-extended entry from Sterling and face-planting him with a picture-perfect right hand before unleashing some well-placed ground-and-pound.
He said in his post-fight interview: “Honestly this was the most nervous I’ve ever been for a fight.
“In my eyes, Aljamain Sterling is the best bantamweight of all time.
“I was a little bit nervous but I never lost confidence because I know what I possess in this right hand!
“I said going into this fight, it only takes one mistake against me.
“I don’t even know if that was a mistake — I’m just that f***ing good!”
