'Sugar' Sean O'Malley is one of the most popular fighters in the UFC, and in all of mixed martial arts. Currently ranked number 2 in the UFC bantamweight division, O'Malley is the number one contender and will be challenging for the championship on Saturday, August 19 at UFC 292.

O'Malley began his amateur career in 2013 and, following an experience-filled 10 fights on the amateur circuit, he would make his professional debut in 2015. Over the next two years, O'Malley built himself up in various MMA promotions before getting a spot on the 2017 Dana White Contender Series. A stunning first-round knockout led to an immediate contract for 'Sugar' and, since then, it has been quite the journey to get to his first title shot this weekend.

O'Malley will challenge for UFC gold for the first time at UFC 292 against current reigning and defending champion, Aljamain Sterling. It can be expected that this will be O'Malley's biggest payday but here is his financial standing heading into the event.
