Sean O’Malley believes “getting hit in the head” regularly may be the primary cause of Sean Strickland’s mental health struggles

Sean O’Malley has recently hypothesized that Sean Strickland’s persistent mental health issues may be connected to the regular head injuries he has sustained from taking blows during fights and sparring sessions.

Recently, the ex-UFC middleweight champion opened up on social media about his ongoing struggle with mental anguish. He openly admitted that even though he has achieved his lifelong goals, he continues to battle inner demons on a regular basis, experiencing them multiple times each month.

Strickland admitted to having feelings of endangerment towards others, describing a sense of feeling trapped in a mindset where he has a strong desire to “destroy everything in the world.”

The current bantamweight champion argues that Strickland’s ongoing mental challenges could potentially be linked to his extensive training and exposure to punishment.

In a recent installment of his podcast, TimboSugarShow (via MMA Fighting), O’Malley shared his thoughts:

“It’s like, duh. Anyone who says that they literally have a [desire] to kill people probably aren’t doing mentally well. You either love or you hate, and if you want to kill people for no reason.. .. I mean, he’s honest about it, which is f**king pretty crazy.”

The speaker went on to say:

“Just going in there and sparring and getting hit in the head — not that he gets hit that much, but if you’re getting hit not that much, but you spar every day, that adds up.”

Sean O’Malley responds to allegations of human trafficking at Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ house

During the same podcast episode, Sean O’Malley discussed the federal raid on Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ residence, which was prompted by allegations of human trafficking and sexual assault.

In ‘Sugar’, Combs’ potential emotions were examined in relation to the accusations against him, considering how he would react if the allegations proved to be baseless. The piece also drew comparisons between the American rapper and the infamous island owned by disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

“All these cameras recording in all his houses, that was like Jeffrey Epstein’s island, right? Diddy Epstein is what they’re calling him.”[5:45]

In late March, the US Homeland Security carried out raids on two of the rapper’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami. These raids were accompanied by a series of varied accusations made against him.

Despite vehemently denying all allegations, Combs has been the subject of five lawsuits in New York since last November. These lawsuits accuse him of sexual assault, sexual trafficking, and involvement in other illegal activities.
