UFC bantamweight prospect Sean O'Malley recently shed his fighter persona and put on the hat of a prankster to pull off a light-hearted prank with ThatWasEpic. O'Malley collaborated with Juan Carlos Gonzalez, a YouTuber better known online as ThatWasEpic, to carry out a prank of pretending to tow people.
Sean O'Malley has established a name for himself outside the fight game by diversifying and expanding his horizons. He's often seen with the Nelk boys at after-fight parties and has a strong social media presence.
In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Gonzalez can be seen pranking people. He claimed that they are not allowed to park at gas stations if they're not pumping. An unsuspicious prankee exclaimed that he had just parked to use the washroom.

The victim of the prank became agitated when he realized his car would be towed when Gonzalez introduced O'Malley as his boss. 'Sugar' hilariously called himself "Peter" when introducing himself to the fan.
They were later recognized by the person, who was handed $1000 by Sean O'Malley. They pulled a similar prank on another lady by telling her that she parked in the wrong spot.

With UFC 280 just months away, preparations are in full swing for O'Malley. While speaking with Fullsend MMA, 'Sugar' claimed that he aims to knockout Petr Yan:
"Every time I get into a fight, the goal is put him face first, knock him out. I want to get the finish, and that's always the goal. Petr Yan is one of the top pound-for-pound fighters in the world in my opinion. The dude's legitimate, real deal, No.1 contender. I'm going to go out there, do what I need to do to get the job done. But, ideally I'm putting him face first."
