"Cheating with extra steps" - Sean O'Malley's Andrew Tate-inspired take on open relationship with wife does not sit well with fans

UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley is in a polyamorous relationship with his wife, Danya Gonzalez. However, controversial internet celebrity Andrew Tate's chauvinistic ideologies have brought about one key shift in the MMA fighter's relationship.

Now, only O'Malley can engage in intimate relationships with any partner of his choosing, while his wife has to be completely faithful to him. In a recent interview with fitness influencer Bradley Martyn, 'Sugar' professed that the freedom to pursue sexual partners outside of his marriage has made him a better man.

"I'm a king I pay for everything... Andrew Tate explains it well, it's status... I do live a disciplined life, and if I want to get a little p***y sometimes, what the f**k... It makes me a better man."

Sean O'Malley says his inability to be with just one woman is "a weakness"

Sean O'Malley can't be with just one woman. The fighter had apparently informed his wife, Danya Gonzalez, about his plans to be in an open marriage, early in their relationship.

During a segment of Tim Welch's podcast, the UFC superstar opined that his inability to be with just one woman might be one of his major mental weaknesses:

"We are f*****g men. We are f*****g ho**y men. And Danny knows that, when I first met her, I'm like, this is what's up... It could be a mental weakness... Me wanting to hook up with ch***s and doing stuff like that could just be a mental weakness... That's what happens when you get ho**y."
