There is a saying, “Social media steals your time, your peace, and your soul.” Undoubtedly, social media can derail dreams by providing endless dopamine hits, distracting one from goals, and reducing motivation to focus on what truly matters. And now, UFC superstar Sean O’Malley seems determined to reclaim his spot at the top, as he recently announced he’s quitting all social media and stepping away from the online spotlight.
Sean O’Malley has undoubtedly become a massive superstar, thanks to his charisma, flamboyance, and mic skills. But his rise wasn’t just about talk—he backed it up by knocking out opponents one after another. However, in his last fight against Merab Dvalishvili, something seemed off, leading to the loss of his title.
Now, ahead of his next fight, O’Malley is shifting focus back to training and his fight career, signaling a return to the basics. He has also quit all social media to fully concentrate on his goals until his next fight.
On his Instagram story he wrote, “2025 l am deleting all my social medias off my phone until my next fight. My team will be running my socials. We will still make content but I just need a detox from my phone. Going to focus on reaching my full potential as an athlete and a father.”
