Sean O’Malley has admitted that he’s jealous of the brand new sponsorship deal between Ilia Topuria and Richard Mille.
The luxurious watch brand is one of the crucial high-grade endorsements that a UFC fighter has landed in years, with Topuria featuring in a recent promotional video. Even the most cost effective Richard Mille would set a buyer back $120,000, with only six models costing lower than $250,000.
While O’Malley is one among the game’s biggest stars and has endorsements with the likes of Jake Paul’s ‘W’ in addition to other brands, he has spoken out about how he would like to have an identical deal to Topuria’s latest one.

Sean O’Malley admits he’s jealous of Ilia Topuria’s Richard Mille advert
In a recent video discussing his upcoming UFC White House fight with Aiemann Zahabi, former bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley discussed his opponent signing with Drake’s OVO label. He claimed that while it was something he admired, he ultimately didn’t envy his opponent an excessive amount of.
O’Malley noted that it was unlikely that Drake personally got here up with the concept to search out Zahabi and get him registered. Nevertheless, he did admit to wishing he had the identical luck as Ilia Topuria, who recently inked a deal to work with Richard Mille.
“I’m jealous, I haven’t felt the jealousy emotion in a protracted time,” O’Malley said in the course of the lengthy ‘Bro’Malley’ YouTube video. “But I felt it when Tim [Welch] sent me a screenshot of Ilia signing with Richard Mille. I used to be like ‘oh, that’s sick’.
“But I’m also like ‘dude, he knocked out three legends, three Hall of Famers in a row, he’s headlining the White House, well deserved, 100 per cent, he deserves it… I do have two Richards, though! He probably had one too. It’s cool, though, I used to be like ‘that’s sick, dude’, that’s f—ing cool.
