Sean O'Malley already has plans on how he will celebrate once he gets his hands on the bantamweight title. As per O'Malley's recent proclamation, his celebration will involve some over-the-top extravaganzas. In a recent tweet, the No.1-ranked bantamweight contender joked that he wants a wild strip club outing similar to NBA star Ja Morant's recent transgressions at Shotgun Willie’s in Glendale.

Memphis Grizzlies point guard Morant recently gained infamy for his dangerous antics while partying at the Shotgun Willie’s strip club.

Sean O'Malley is currently one of the hottest prospects in the UFC. In his most recent fight at UFC 280, 'Sugar' beat former champion Petr Yan via split decision, claiming the top contender spot soon after.

Sean O'Malley is 16-1-1NC as a professional (8-1-1NC in the UFC) and currently enjoys a five-fight undefeated streak. The American might very well face the winner of Aljamain Sterling vs. Henry Cejudo, slated to headline UFC 288, for the bantamweight title in his next outing.


What were the Ja Morant antics that inspired Sean O'Malley's celebration plans

Memphis Grizzlies' 23-year-old point guard Ja Morant recently had two wild nights out at the Shotgun Willie’s strip club in Glendale, which has seemingly inspired Sean O'Malley to do the same if he wins the UFC's 135-pound title.

The NBA player rushed to the strip joint in the early hours of March 2 after his team made light work of the Houston Rockets.

According to a report by the New York Post, the youngster shelled out $900 to book the VIP room for three hours. He then went into full-on party mode, ordering four dancers, bottle service, and platters of food.

Two days later, after the Denver Nuggets beat the Grizzlies, Morant returned to the joint again. This time, however, he took things a notch higher, broadcasting his antics on Instagram live, while flashing a gun and blasting the lyrics to 'Bring Em Out' by the rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Morant reportedly shelled out upward of $50k in tips at the strip club.

Although Deborah Dunafon, the majority owner of Shotgun Willie’s, confirmed that the NBA star was nothing but respectful during the second night, a dancer from the establishment stated that the gun scared many of her co-workers.

After reviewing security tapes from the second night of celebrations, Glendale police concluded that they couldn't find evidence of Morant carrying a gun and that there was nothing with which to charge him.

Since the incident, Morant has released a statement apologizing for his actions. He is also facing an NBA suspension in the wake of his actions.
