Gotta love the confidence between Sean and his coach Tim. Whether us as fans of the sport think Sean will win or not, there's no denying Tim and Sean both believe they have what it takes to take Aljo out

[@kyleleyenda6675]

Tim is the mind behind Sean. With no tim there is no sean

Tim is one of a kind, beyond authentic and genuine and legitimately wants people to be the best version of themselves the right way. Very thankful to able to train under him.

Tim is being modest and humble. Dude is a legit badass coach. The best shots landed in the Sean vs Yan fight was called out perfectly.

[@realtalkwiththeking7862]

Sean trusts Tim with his life. He knows Tim wouldn’t steer him into danger.

[@drunkenmmamaster419]

Used to think Timbo was a quack yes man type of coach but he's far from it and is very underrated and doesnt get enough credit for O'Malleys growth as a fighter

[@javierfromthegggnetwork9657]

Sean is surrounded by good people. If you watch his pods and get to know the group, everyone is self aware and know that in order to be a champion you need to live like a champion.

Schmitt is a work in progress haha.

[@ryansalcedo-ye2nx]

Tim a g. I think if it wasn’t for him telling sean literally exactly what to do in the yan fight maybe the outcome would of been different. I can tell tim’s a genius . But he also has sean as a fighter which helps 2 young goats = greatness . Get that belt !

[@texasboy1457]

Love this interview. Wish Tim and Sean nothing but success. Glad Tim is getting some long overdue recognition. Super underrated.

[@15aarondify]

Big fan of Tim. His answer for not checking your phone or messages first thing in the morning blew my mind.. don't think there's a better answer than that

Tim allowing us into his life has been great. I'm a little old for some of his content but it's still fun.

Tim’s a good dude super knowledgeable in mma all around always great to hear from him 🙌🏽

[@MansterBear]

I remember the first time I listened to the TImbo Suga show. Was very surprised at how grounded and well spoken Sean is when he wants to be. And Tim is great at podcasting and asking questions, etc. eventually even their buddies that are on sometimes started to grow on me.

I love Tim’s humbleness, he’s definitely one of the great minds out there… I think once Sean is a little more established, Tim should start taking on more fighters… I live right down the street his gym in Peoria… can verify that Sean/Dani’s lime green Tesla is always outside of that gym lol
