What is the appeal of O'Malley?

[shredman]

I think I'm maybe not in the right age demographic to know, but people say O'Malley is a big star and has a big following on social media and among the youths, so I'm wondering, what is his appeal? Is it just the crazy outfits? He doesn't seem to have too much personality, mostly a quiet guy, so what is the basis of his appeal?

That's exactly the thread i was about to make.
Chito was getting louder cheers than O'Malley.

Sean is entertaining to watch fight, seems like good business man. The stuff outside of that, not too sure tbh. Doesn't strike me as someone worth paying to much attention to imo.

Fighting style.

I blank / ignore everything he does outside of the cage.

 

[Conor Strickland]

Exciting fighting style and he looks like Andrew Garfield

Exciting fighter and very skilled striker. His clothes and crazy hairstyles trick the kids into thinking he is something extra.

Although, honestly, anytime I've had a quick look at one of the popular youtubers just to see what the fuss is about they all seem dull af with zero personality. I don't think it takes much.

Exactly.

Boxing and movement.

THC Rainbow Poodle gets finishes and has mastered the art of being grunge rich on social platforms. He appeals to a lot of different people. Unfortunately for him, most of those people aren't into MMA enough or have enough disposable income to pay for his fights.

Some people like clowns.

But if we are being serious he is a very dynamic and exciting fighter who gets finishes. Some people can ignore the annoying rest of it.

He pays for a lot of Bots to post "Why is O'malley so popular?"

Trying to capture the far-left antifa/gender-fluid/Chakra activator demographic, but those people are typically disinterested in sport.

He has a big social media following of casuals.
Personally I tune in for his fights, but other than that he doesn't interest me.

 

[fortheo]

I haven't ever seen actual O'malley fans, even on sherdog. The closest I've seen to sean o'malley fans are the guys on here who say they hate his personality, but like to watch him fight.

Young champ that is a sniper or long range striker. I think that's it. Changes his hair color, face tats, and wears clothes that are funky colors and it ropes haters in. At this point, to look ridiculous is a business for him. Personally I like him because he's a fun striker and underrated as a fighter, huge for the division. All the stuff outside the cage doesn't matter.

 

[MixMartialFarts]

He's really good at fighting but he doesn't look like he should be.

 

[blaseblase]

He's an exciting fighter who stands out by wearing colorful and flashy clothing. He's also a YouTuber who has cultivated an online presence.

 

[sdpdude9]

Seems like maybe younger people like him? I don’t know. He’s fun to watch fight but has an annoying personality.

The shtick(outside of his insane fighting style) is that he's this eccentric rich popular badass who's just insanely chill.

I'm not going to say he's nailing it but that's what he's going for

Manufactured hype is usually short-lived or disappear overnight... eg Ronda

They always end up getting exposed sooner or later
