Sean O'Malley believes he's the most entertaining MMA star in the world right now. The UFC bantamweight sensation recently admitted he was jealous of the people who get to watch him live.

Speaking to his brother on The BrOMalley Show podcast, 'Sugar' stressed that he keeps fans glued to their television sets whenever he enters the octagon.

"I think I'm the number one most entertaining fighter inside the cage in general overall. When you're watching a full fight card, who makes you feel the most just present in watching like you don't want to do something else... You want to watch just what I'm doing, dude. I watch on the screen as a fan when I watch my fights. I'm jealous of you guys that get a watch when I'm in there performing because it just looks magical. I look like I'm painting... It is poetic. It's poetry in motion is what they call it I think. I'm just jealous of you guys that you guys get to watch me live. I have to watch myself on TV."
