Montana is a state that has its share of tough people. We have had some successful fighters that have stepped up to prove that. One of the most popular UFC fighters around is Sean O'Malley, from Helena. He has shined in the spotlight of the UFC.

Sean O'Malley ESPY Winner

Sean O'Malley not only won his last fight against Marlon Vera back in March, to improve his record to 18-1, but he also has just picked up and Espy award from ESPN for being the "Best UFC Fighter". That caused some discussion over social media. Sean O'Malley was also invited, to kick off the University of Montana's successful football season last year. Sean's next fight hasn't been scheduled yet, but he is hoping it will take place at the Sphere in Las Vegas, according to Sports Illustrated.
