UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley got caught with a hot mic during a recent sparring session with notable Kick streamer and collaborator Adin Ross.

On Wednesday, Ross shared footage of himself going toe-to-toe with ‘Sugar’ at the gym. The interaction was mostly light-hearted with O’Malley putting a friendly beating on the influencer. However, there was an incident where O’Malley could clearly be heard saying something antisemitic while referring to Ross.

In the short clip, which you can see below courtesy of KickChamp on X, you can hear ‘Sugar’ utter the words “hurry up you stupid f*cking Jew,” which quickly caught the attention of UFC fans.

Reactions to Sean O’Malley’s Comment Are All Over the Place with many defending the UFC Champ

Reacting to the above video, many came to Sean O’Malley’s defense, believing what he said was meant to be a joke or that he was simply reading what was being written in the chat. Otherwise used it as an opportunity to cancel the UFC star. Some even admitted to becoming a bigger fan of the bantamweight champ after seeing the clip.

Popular Kick streamer Adin Ross spent some time training with UFC superstar Sean O’Malley

Ross, an online influencer best known for his collaborations with celebrities and livestreams of NBA 2K and Grand Theft Auto video games, has spent his fair share of time testing his striking skills with some of combat sports’ biggest names. Ross has gone toe-to-toe with the likes of Jake Paul, Dillon Danis, Ryan Garcia, and even took a brutal body shot from current light heavyweight titleholder Alex Pereira.

Recently, Ross released footage of himself having some fun in the cage with current UFC bantamweight world champion Sean O’Malley.

Aside from sitting atop the UFC’s loaded bantamweight division, O’Malley is currently listed as the No. 6 ranked pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

Sean O’Malley eyes September Clash with ‘The Machine’

After claiming the 135-pound crown with a perfectly-timed counter right against ex-titleholder Aljamain Sterling in August, Sean O’Malley returned to the Octagon in March for a long-awaited rematch with the only man to hand him a loss in his MMA career, Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera. O’Malley found the redemption he was looking for, pummeling his Ecuadorian opposition for five rounds en route to a decisive decision victory.

O’Malley was hoping to challenge newly minted featherweight champion Ilia Topuria later this year, but UFC CEO Dana White quickly shut that down, making it clear that No. 1 ranked bantamweight Merab Dvalishvili was next on O’Malley’s title defense itinerary.

‘Sugar’ recently suggested a September date for his inevitable showdown with ‘The Machine,’ the likeliest date being UFC 306 when the promotion is expected to make its debut inside The Sphere in Las Vegas.
