UFC 229’s Sean O’Malley Credits Fortnite For Keeping Him Busy
While O’Malley’s time away from the Octagon may seem normal to fans, it isn’t for “The Suga Show.” O’Malley had four fights in 2017 and may end up having just two this year. During a recent appearance on Flo Combat‘s Top Turtle podcast, O’Malley said that streaming a popular video game on a go-to streaming website has kept him satiated:
“It’s been fine. I’ve been super busy playing Fortnite. I’ve been enjoying playing Fortnite and I really don’t feel like I was out too long. I’m thinking of Fortnite as a business. I’m running a Twitch channel, have a bunch of subscribers, it’s a business… I’m a pretty big gamer, I play a lot. I stream every day. I’m consistently streaming.”
We’ve seen fighters such as Demetrious Johnson and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson have great success with their Twitch channels. Twitch has become a go-to platform for putting out gaming content. Many have flocked to Twitch after YouTube’s monetization policies were deemed unreliable by a slew of content creators.
