‘Five Missed Calls’: Sean O’Malley’s Flirty DMs with Hawk Tuah Girl Go Public

During his time away from the Octagon, former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has been trying to slide into Hawk Tuah’s DMs.

For those living under the rock for the last year, the Hawk Tuah girl (real name Hailey Welch) became a social media sensation after her “spit on that thang” video went viral overnight.

Since then, she has generated millions of followers on both Instagram and TikTok and has over 177,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel which hosts her own podcast appropriately titled Talk Tuah.

Welch’s bubbly energy and beauty have captivated people both young and old so it should come as no surprise that she’s been the recipient of thousands of messages from thirsty fans hoping she’ll spit on their thang.

As it turns out, a few of those messages came from O’Malley.

“You said UFC fighter, right?” Welch said on a recent episode of her podcast. “What is that fella’s name that has been messaging me all week? O’Malley boy? He has a kid, don’t he? He’s so nice, he’s just like, ‘What are you doing?’. When he first DM’d me I had like five missed calls from him on Instagram — I didn’t even know you could do that!”

Sean O’Malley has been very open about his relationship with girlfriend danya Gonzalez

O’Malley is currently married to long-time girlfriend Danya Gonzalez, but the outspoken MMA superstar has been more than open about their relaxed relationship and the many “dope threesomes” they’ve hosted over the years.

“Everyone’s definition of an open relationship is different,” O’Malley told the Full Send Podcast. “I like to think of ours as just an open-minded relationship where we don’t own each other. I don’t own her, and she doesn’t own me.

“When I first met Danya, I told her, ‘I don’t know why anyone would fuck the same chick for the rest of their life, I can’t do that.’ So she knew she wasn’t in love with a phony me. We’ve had some dope threesomes. Every relationship should be okay with it, that just needs to happen.”

Conor McGregor and Sean O’Malley have got a fairly complicated relationship with one another that has taken drastic turns. The two men appeared to be on the same page for a long time before several harsh comments back-and-forth on social media drew a clear line in the sand.

It now appears that things have been brushed aside and bridges have been rebuilt following recent comments that were made by “Suga” on the Join The Lobby Podcast. The former UFC bantamweight champion spoke about how “The Notorious” will always be an influential figure on his own career and that he wishes him the best in whatever he is doing.

“He played an important role in my career. It’s always will be inspiration to me at some point… Right now I wouldn’t say he necessarily is… He has a big family now, a bunch of kids, and I hope he’s doing well.”

McGregor Extends Training Offer To Sean O’Malley & Tim Welch

In a since deleted post on X, McGregor responded to the clip that was posted of O’Malley squashing the beef that he previously had with the Irishman. The former UFC champ-champ also chose to forgive and forget via the statement that he put out.

McGregor referred to O’Malley as a “fighting legend” and “an incredible superstar” but spent most of his social media post speaking about something else.

“The Notorious” would very much like it if O’Malley and his coach would come over to Dublin to train with his head coach John Kavanagh at his home gym, SBG Dublin. He spoke about the potential gain that both “Suga” and Tim Welch could take from this experience before the try to reclaim the bantamweight throne following the events of UFC 306.

“Sean is a fighting legend! UFC champion and an incredible superstar! I would love, love, love to see, and I can set it up fully, himself and his long time coach, Tim Welch, do a stint in Ireland. A 4 week run at SBG Ireland under Johns coaching and I am telling you he would regain his title. He has a shot at regaining it still for sure, but for himself, and also his coach to spend a good month, to begin with, not a long time, but a good solid month under coach Kav at SBG and they would take heaps of knowledge back with them and onward to regain the Gold. I would love to see it!”

Conor McGregor and Sean O’Malley appear to have squashed their beef.

The back-and-forth relationship between O’Malley and the Irish megastar appears to be copacetic after an intense few months that saw McGregor lob verbal jabs at the former bantamweight champion.

During an appearance on the Join The Lobby podcast, ‘Sugar’ made it clear that despite the recent animosity, McGregor played an important role in his mixed martial arts career and wishes nothing but the best for ‘Mystic Mac’ and his family.

“He [Conor McGregor] played an important role in my career. It’s always will be inspiration to me at some point… Right now I wouldn’t say he necessarily is… He has a big family now, a bunch of kids, and I hope he’s doing well” (h/t Sportskeeda).

“Sean is a fighting legend! UFC champion and an incredible superstar! I would love, love, love to see, and I can set it up fully, himself and his long time coach, Tim Welch, do a stint in Ireland,” McGregor wrote in a since-deleted post. “A 4 week run at SBG Ireland under Johns coaching and I am telling you he would regain his title.”

Following his unanimous decision loss against Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306, O’Malley underwent surgery to repair a labrum injury he suffered 10 weeks before he clashed with ‘The Machine.’ Initially, ‘Sugar’ suggested he may take the next year off to fully heal up, but in recent weeks, he’s teased a potential return as early as March 2025.

Ali Abdelaziz: O’Malley Deserves Title Shot Once Umar Nurmagomedov Is Champion

Umar Nurmagomedov is looking increasingly likely to be the next contender for the bantamweight title that changed hands at UFC 306.

Umar Nurmagomedov is looking increasingly likely to be the next contender for the bantamweight title that changed hands at UFC 306.

Merab Dvalishvili wasn’t sold on the idea following his win over Sean O’Malley last month but with several other top contenders either booked or coming off of losses, it doesn’t look like he will have much choice in the matter.

Nurmagomedov has only fought one contender in the top 15, Cory Sandhagen, meaning that his first title defense if he was to win the belt would open up a lot of opportunities. With the biggest name in the division in “Suga” returning to the role of contender, it’s not likely to be long before he’s back in a big fight even if the fighters around him in the rankings stay active.

Ali Abdelaziz Says Sean O’Malley Would Deserve To Fight Umar Nurmagomedov When He’s Champion

There’s a strong chance that O’Malley finds himself in a title fight unless the likes of Deiveson Figueiredo or Petr Yan are able to make a statement when they meet.

During a recent interview with Submission Radio, Nurmagomedov’s manager Ali Abdelaziz spoke about how O’Malley would be at the top of their priorities if he’s successful against Dvalishvili.

“Suga” has recently undergone surgery but if the timelines end up working out, which you’d imagine they will given his recent update, Abdelaziz said that O’Malley deserves this opportunity even if he is coming off a loss.

“Sean O’Malley just have a surgery. The plan was Umar beat Merab and after that Umar gives Sean O’Malley a title shot coming off a loss because I believe Sean O’Malley deserves it. He built the division, he made everybody money, why not give the guy love for making the 135 (division) exciting as it is today.”

“Big” John McCarthy recently addressed Sean O’Malley’s coach after Tim Welch sought clarification on the controversial excessive coaching incident at UFC 306.

Dvalishvili secured a dominant unanimous decision victory over “Suga” to capture the bantamweight title at UFC 306 earlier this month. While the outcome was unquestionably clear at the end of the day, the fight took an unusual turn just moments after it began.

“The Machine” suddenly paused mid-action, gesturing furiously toward his opponent’s corner, prompting referee Herb Dean to step in. Dean reprimanded Dvalishvili for interrupting the match and also gave Welch a warning for overstepping his coaching boundaries, citing the ‘excessive coaching’ rule.

In the days following the fight, Welch broke his silence on the controversial incident, admitting he did shout at Dvalishvili but claimed he only told him to “be patient.” He also acknowledged that some of his instructions for O’Malley included “The Machine’s” name, brushing it off as merely a case of normal coaching and insisting it had no impact on the outcome of the bout.

However, veteran referee McCarthy believes Welch’s actions crossed a line and constituted clear misconduct…

McCarthy Cautions Welch On Interference with Opponents During Fights

During a recent appearance on the WEIGHING IN podcast, Welch posed a question to McCarthy, asking how he would have handled the situation if a similar incident to UFC 306’s main event unfolded under his watch.

The renowned MMA referee responded candidly, stating that he would have swiftly issued Welch a stern warning. Furthermore, McCarthy made it clear that if the behavior persisted, he wouldn’t hesitate to eject Welch from the arena in accordance with official refereeing guidelines.

“I’m being honest, I would have talked to you in the beginning,” McCarthy said. “I would have said, ‘Hey, look, I need you to understand I cannot have you talking to the opponent in any fashion. So when you say ‘Merab, you’ve got to look out,’ even if it’s a call sign for you guys, you’re making it sound like you’re talking to the opponent. So right away, I would have said, ‘Hey, I’m telling you now, stop. We talked about this. If you do it again, I’m going to remove you from this arena,’ which I don’t want to do.”

“Obviously, that would affect your fighter and everything, so it’s the last thing you want to do. But yeah, it’s right in the rules that you can talk to Sean all you want, and we want you to be able to coach and talk to him and give him good, you know, feedback, but we cannot have you in any fashion talking to the opponent or talking to the referee during the round.”

Welch also faced significant backlash when footage surfaced from UFC 292 in August 2023, where he allegedly attempted to mislead Aljamain Sterling, trying to lure him into a reckless charge toward O’Malley.
