UFC star Sean O'Malley initiates unexpected conversation with rap sensation Cardi B

Sean O'Malley is widely known for his avant-garde sense of fashion and personal styling. Still, it seems the mercurial bantamweight wants to level up by seeking rapper Cardi B's help. 'Sugar' is often seen at UFC events sporting his signature multi-colored hairdo and his stand-out style of dressing.

Nevertheless, it still surprised many when the 28-year-old American recently replied to a tweet sent out by Cardi B expressing her desire to play couturiere to other celebrities.

Responding to this, O'Malley threw his name in the hat and indicated his willingness to be one of her muses. 'Sugar' stated his desire to volunteer with a single word in her comments section, saying:

Given how both stars have a penchant for all things fashion and couture, perhaps a collaboration between them will work out favorably for both of them.

Sean O'Malley last saw action at UFC 280 when he beat Petr Yan via a controversial decision that propelled him to the No.1 spot in the division's rankings. Having recently signed a new eight-fight deal with the UFC, O'Malley is expected to get his shot at the title against the winner of the Henry Cejudo vs. Aljamain Sterling title fight.

After Sean O'Malley tweeted his one-word response to Cardi B's post, fans hounded his comment section with their take on the idea.
