Sean O’Malley will make his return to the Octagon Saturday night at UFC 248.
And the fighter also will be available to sit on your shelf or television stand in bobblehead form.
The National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum announced the addition of the O’Malley bobblehead to their collection. He joins Daniel Cormier, Jon Jones, Chuck Liddell, Conor McGregor, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Ronda Rousey and Georges St-Pierre to be featured.
On a base bearing his name and UFC logo, the bobblehead features a stone-faced O’Malley with his gloves raised and ready for battle.
Nicknamed “Sugar,” the 25-year-old O’Malley will take an undefeated 10-0 record (2-0 UFC) into his UFC 248 matchup with Jose Alberto Quinonez. O’Malley’s highly anticipated return in the pay-per-view event marks just over two years since he last competed.
The Montana native who trains in Arizona was forced to the sidelines while dealing with continued issues with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency and Nevada Athletic Commission due to “pulsing” levels of residual ostarine in his system. He denied knowingly taking any performance-enhancing substance. O’Malley was initially matched up with Quinonez at UFC 229 in October 2018.

O’Malley will be making his first appearance in the Octagon since March 3, 2018, when he faced Andre Soukhamthath at UFC 222 in Las Vegas. O’Malley won by unanimous decision despite injuring his foot in the third round. The fight earned both participants a Fight of the Night bonus.
In his 10 professional matches, O’Malley has won six by knockout, one by submission and three by decision.
“We’re excited to be unveiling this bobblehead of Sean O’Malley, one of the rising stars of UFC,” National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum co-founder and CEO Phil Sklar said. “UFC fans have been anticipating his return to the Octagon and are eager to see what ‘Sugar’ has in store and we think this bobblehead will be a popular one for UFC fans.”
Last year, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first Ulti-man Bobblehead. Ulti-Man first appeared on the canvas of the world-famous Octagon at UFC 1 and has since become one of the global brand’s most recognizable symbols around the world, as it appeared on the original UFC championship belt and was used as a primary logo on early marketing and branding assets.
