Following his UFC 292 bantamweight title fight victory, Sean O’Malley had the word “CHAMP” tattooed on his forehead by artist Marcéllo F. C. Stefaniak and is prepared to face a group of challengers including Marlon “Chito” Vera, Cory Sandhagen, and others.
Sean O’Malley, the noted mixed martial artist, is boldly flaishing his victory for everyone to see. After his triumph in the UFC 292 bantamweight title fight against Aljamain Sterling, he announced his consideration of tattooing the word “champ” on his face at the post-fight press conference. Living up to his word, O’Malley has gotten the word “CHAMP”, scribbled on his forehead in capital letters.
The tattoo is accompanied by the Roman numerals “MMXXIII”, signifying 2023, etched just above his right eye below the hairline. This new change, a video of which can be seen via Full Send MMA, stands as a testament to his recent feats. The work is attributed to Marcéllo F. C. Stefaniak, a tattoo artist who has previously worked with O’Malley and many other professional fighters. This daring act adds a new chapter to O’Malley’s life, highlighting his supreme confidence.
In terms of his fighting record, O’Malley defeated Sterling with a second-round TKO to claim the bantamweight title. This was in addition to his impressive wins over fighters like Petr Yan, Raulian Paiva, and Thomas Almeida. However, it’s not all smooth sailing from here for O’Malley as he faces a strenuous journey ahead. The young fighter now confronts a formidable array of challengers, including past rival, Marlon “Chito” Vera, Cory Sandhagen, Merab Dvalishvili, Umar Nurmagomedov, among others.
