Sean O’Malley wanted “peace of mind.”
Sean O’Malley, who appeared in “The Jim Rome Show,” revealed that his decision to drop social media and THC was made to combat anxiety (h/t mmafighting).
“There’s probably not a lot of things I can say ‘life-changing’, but it’s coming down from social media. It’s still running. I’m still making content. I’m still doing that, but I don’t actually make a phone call, go to Instagram, join Snapchat, join Twitter, engage in virtual reality. “I don’t want to go back.
“I couldn’t beat Merab because I didn’t do this. I can get off social media and stop this, stop it, beat Merab. I did for my peace of mind. I really didn’t have any anxiety. Everyone has a low level of anxiety.
O’Malley enjoys using marijuana and admits that he has not ruled out smoking again. For now, he is happy with the changes he has made. There will be time to see if it will support him well on his path back to UFC Gold.
