Sean O’Malley has been skyrocketing in popularity since he joined the UFC in 2017, and the much hyped prospect recently revealed that he doesn’t have a manager handling his career. According to the 27-year-old, he doesn’t see much of a purpose for hiring a “middleman” and giving him a chunk of each paycheck.
“I am my management,” O’Malley said at the MMA Hour. “Solo dolo, no middleman, no one taking a random percentage for being a middleman. I do all my own deals and shit gets done right.
“Well, say UFC gets a sponsorship deal and then whoever handles that at the UFC, they’re like ‘oh, UFC wants Sean O’Malley, I’m going to go to his management’ and then their management takes 20%, 15%, whatever, just to tell me about the deal.
