UFC bantamweight champion 'Suga' Sean O'Malley has issued an ominous warning to his fans after receiving multiple unwelcome visitors to his family home.
The 29-year-old retained his belt with his 18th win in 20 MMA fights at UFC 299 in Miami, Florida.
It was a closely contested fight, but O'Malley was awarded the victory unanimously by the three ringside judges, with scores of 50-45, 50-45, and 50-44 in the five-round fight.
This latest win cements O'Malley's remarkable UFC record, which currently stands at one no contest and only one loss, a record he experienced against Vera in 2020, which is the latest in his most recent titles. This makes acquisition particularly important.
Despite the title defense, not everything was perfect, with O'Malley recently revealing that he has dealt with multiple instances of fans coming unwelcome to his parents' home in Arizona.
Lecture at “TimboSugarShow” Mr. Suga revealed what was going on and even revealed that it had reached a point where he might be forced to use weapons against the intruders.
“People keep finding my fucking house, it's a fucking nuisance.” He explained that he wanted to put a sign quite far down the road that said, “If you cross this line, you can get shot.''

While the fighter appreciated that the majority of these visits were from fans, he made it clear that this type of behavior should stop.
“It's the fans, they like me. But that doesn't mean you can come to my house. Please don't come to my house.
“…because I was walking around my property a few nights ago and I saw this car outside, walking around with a loaded pistol. When my family is home, I don't play games. there is no.”
O'Malley went on to justify his concerns by recalling similar situations that did not end well for other combatants.
