Sean O’Malley is a rising star in the UFC’s bantamweight division. Unfortunately, he’s been sidelined by\u00a0a USADA suspension.<\/a> He was supposed to fight on the biggest card of the year at UFC 229 but was pulled off the card<\/a> when he was flagged by USADA.<\/p>\n

While this represents a definite setback for O’Malley, he’s determined to turn it into a positive.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack-to-back surgeries and in the middle of a suspension for something I didn\u2019t do,\u201d Sean O\u2019Malley said on\u00a0The MMA Hour<\/em><\/a>. \u201cI\u2019ve been [trying to be] super positive. I think a big thing right now is I\u2019m super into gaming and I think that\u2019s helped me a lot. I see people are always like, \u2018Do you even train?\u2019 and stuff like that, but honestly I haven\u2019t really been able to train the last month because of this hip issue. I just got off crutches last week. So I\u2019ve just been playing Fortnite, building\u00a0my Twitch channel, keeping busy that way.”<\/p>\n

O’Malley is still focused on fighting, but growing his Twitch channel is something he is also very interested in doing. The undefeated prospect has been using his time off as an opportunity to be online more \u2014 and it’s paying off.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I\u2019m making around $4,500 a month through gaming,\u201d Sean O\u2019Malley said. \u201cI just do it because I love it. I\u2019ve been playing video games since I was a little kid and I\u2019ve had a couple people say, \u2018Why don\u2019t you stream?’ I was like, \u2018No one wants to watch me play.\u2019 And I\u2019ve been streaming for like nine months now and there\u2019s some loyal fans in there.”<\/p>\n

Sean O’Malley is eligible to return to the Octagon on March 6. Who do you want to see him fight when he’s back in action? Join the conversation in the comments section below.<\/p>\n
