Former UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley has been known for a strong media presence. However, it appears that he is planning to take a step back from such.

After losing the bantamweight title earlier this year, O'Malley has announced on his Instagram that he is planning to take a social media "detox" in the new year. And is hoping that this will help him focus on building a path toward earning back the title.

"2025, I am deleting all my social medias off my phone until my next fight. My team will be running my socials. We will still make content but I just need a detox from my phone. Going to focus on reaching my full potential as an athlete and a father."

For those unaware, O'Malley finally won the bantamweight championship at UFC 292 last year with a knockout over Aljamain Sterling.

He then successfully defended the title against Marlon "Chito" Vera at UFC 299 this past March before losing it to Merab Dvalishvili at the Noche UFC event inside the Sphere.

That said, it remains to be seen as to how O'Malley is able to return to the octagon following his social media break in 2025.
