Ex-champ forced into major lifestyle change and ditches smoking cannabis to win title back at UFC 316
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SEAN O'MALLEY has gone to extreme lengths to try to reclaim the UFC men's bantamweight title, including ditching two of his favourite pleasures. The fan favourite's reign as king of the 135-pounders came to a gruelling and energy-sapping end at the hands of Merab Dvalishvili at UFC 306 last September.

And he's since decided to forgo two of his favourite pleasures - MARIJUANA and SELF-LOVE. He said on his TimboSuga podcast with head coach Sean Welch: "I haven't j'd the peen (self-loved) once this year – not once in 2025. "Haven't j'd the peen, haven't been on social. I haven't gamed, either. I quit gaming.

"And I just don't have any desire to. I feel like it's been good.' O'Malley will look to exact his revenge on Dvalishvili in the main event of UFC 316 in Newark a week on Sunday morning. And he believes his wholesale lifestyle changes will bear fruit in the cage. He said: 'I feel like a lot of things that have changed in my life are going to attribute to my performance. "I haven't J'd the peen once this year – not once in 2025." Sean O'Malley, former UFC men's bantamweight champion "For example, not being on social media. I decided in 2025 [that] I'm done with social media. "I don't get on social media, and I feel like that's changed my life. "It's only been three months, but I literally feel like it's changed my life, and I feel like that's going to play a role in my performance. "All those little things –making decisions like that, sacrifices. "I don't believe [social media] is a sacrifice, but giving up something, I feel like that is going to help me perform in the future.'

24 Things From Free People You'll Wear A *Lot*
A classic midi T-shirt dress that's like wearing a nightgown disguised as fashion. This dress is designed to fit slightly loose without being oversized or baggy, so not only will you look extremely put-together, but you'll never want to take it off either. Promising review: "I ordered for a casual dress. I absolutely love it!!!" —PsychaaPrice: $60 (available in sizes XS–XL and ten colors) Or a maxi dress for just about any occasion — from walks to the park, or brunch at the new hot spot. You'll be so satisfied that you might even purchase it in several colors — all 11 if you dare! Promising review: "I have this dress in three colors now with two more on the way. I love it! It is my go-to travel dress as it is comfy, and you don't have to wear petals with the double-layer fabric. Yes, the shoulder may slip every so often, so be careful…I think I have half flashed a plane before, and the back elastic may twist (should be secured in the correct direction), but I always get compliments on every color and by complete strangers, and the material is so soft and comfy. Love!!!" —yogadancer1Price: $98 (available in sizes XS—XL and 11 colors) OR! A ruffly bodycon strapless mini dress with smocked side panels to show a little more leg and shoulder. Whether you choose to complement this dress with strappy heels or flip-flops, you really can't go wrong. Promising review: "So cute. Snatched my waist. Perfect for a casual day, fun night on the town, or a trip to the beach. Love the fabric as well." Price: $78 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors) A striped tank with a high neckline and a body-hugging fit that you'll definitely want to bring on your big Mediterranean adventure this summer. This ribbed basic will barely make it to the hanger, because it's just *that* good. Promising review: "Really like this fit and shape. The stripes are a nice touch, will be wearing this lots this summer." —alidatishPrice: $48 (available in sizes XS—XL and four colors) A drop-waist mini dress with just a lil' more fabric than the word "mini" may imply. I mean, c'mon! How cute is this look? Especially with the scrunchy socks and Mary Jane flats. Promising review: "This is a perfect little black dress to have in your closet to transition from all the seasons. Wore it on a vacation, but looking forward to layering with tights and an oversized cardigan for fall and winter. Fits true to size. Super happy with the overall fit and versatility!" —Kimberly_AnnPrice: $68 (available in sizes XS–XL and in eight colors) A low-rise cargo short with a drawstring waist and pockets galore that you'll be making your money back with in no time because of how many times you'll wear them this season. If low-rise isn't your cup of tea, simply size down to wear them high-waisted. Promising review: "I'm going to bring these to Italy. Love the fabric and the color!!! Soft and cool looking. Definitely recommend!" —Visualchick1Price: $128 (available in sizes XS—XL and five colors) A slouchy bat-wing tee with a slightly curved and cropped hem that you'll be throwing right back on after laundry day. It can be worn off the shoulder, too, so it's really like getting two shirts in one! Promising review: "I love this shirt! I want it in every color. So soft and easy to wear."Price: $38 (available in sizes XS—XL and nine colors) A pull-on (?!?!?!) flared jean that has all the stretch, so they'll actually feel more like wearing leggings rather than denim, despite how they look. These will hug your curves in all the right places, leaving you with loads of compliments. Promising review: "I want these in every color! Formfitting and comfortable. For a curvy girl, these are the perfect jeans for me. Already got compliments on them several times." —Rachel37Price: $98 (available in sizes XS—XXL, regular and short, and four colors) An internet-beloved quilted jacket for cold nights on the beach or all the upcoming camping trips you have planned in places with unpredictable weather. This slouchy zip-up is the cozy (and stylish!) comfort blanket in jacket form that you've been looking for. A pair of denim overalls, because they are a timeless piece you can wear all year, every year. Do I maybe see you line dancing at an outdoor country concert? Or perchance planting perennials in your garden? Either way, these will offer an effortless look with all the appeal. A splurge-worthy distressed leather moto jacket if you're looking to give off an edgier ~vibe.~ The versatility of a moto jacket never ceases to amaze me. I live in mine, and it just keeps getting better with age, maturing nicely just like me. 😆 A classic pair of Birkenstock sandals jazzed up with studs lining the suede straps to level up your average slip-on. I had to toss my Birks last summer, and I should have thrown them their own funereal after 10 years of service, even surviving several trips to Burning Man. These things are built to last. Promising reviews: "I've always been a big fan of Birks! Been wearing them for decades. This pair with the gold rivets really caught my eye — very nice addition to the traditional style. I usually buy leather, but the suede is nice, soft, and light — perfect for summer." —cvic213Price: $150 (available in sizes 4-4.5—11-11.5 and two colors) Or a pair of Veja Esplar sneakers made from responsibly sourced materials, if you are looking to support more eco-conscious fashion that will still go with any and everything. Promising review: "So glad I got these, super comfy, very stylish, dress up or down, love love them." —Margo RPrice: $150 (available in sizes 4-11 and 10 colors) A vintage-inspired tee to go with your fave flares and Western boots. With its cap sleeves and prominent corset-like seams, you'll resemble a '70s icon for sure. Promising review: "A perfect basic. It's versatile and comfortable, making it a staple for everyday wear. The quality is excellent, and it pairs well with anything, offering great utility for a simple tee." —laupame05Price: $38 (available in sizes XS—XL and 17 colors) A no-nonsense jumpsuit for days when you can't (or don't want to) decide what to wear. It's always easiest to opt for a one-piece during those moods — especially one that's drapey and loose-fitting everywhere except at the hips, which offers some shape and a cinched waistline. Promising review: "I am obsessed with this jumpsuit. The fit is fabulous and the weight of the material is perfect for Florida living!" —CustomerPrice: $78 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors) Or if you want a sportier vibe, a hooded jogger onesie for a more elevated version of your average sweatsuit. It can be worn alone during the summer months, but once it cools off, is perfect for layering with your favorite long-sleeve tee. Promising review: "This is a really cute and comfortable jumpsuit. The cinched waist makes it look better. It doesn't run big. It's a perfect length for me at 5'2', so if you are tall, please be aware that it might be short. The hickory color is a really nice brown. I like it so much I'm going to get another." —Cece755Price: $98 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors) A Challengers-inspired workout set to wear when you're ready to get your 😅sweat😅 on. You'll be looking for new workout classes just so you can wear this set again and again. It's definitely cute enough to wear on a daily, non-workout basis, too though! Price: $98 (available in sizes XS—XL and three colors) A tie-front top with stunning crocheted lace embellishments that can easily be dressed up or down depending on the event you're attending. Wear it with a bralette and mini skirt for date night, and no, you won't be picking up the tab this time. Promising review: "I love this top so much that I now have it in three colors. I have gotten so many compliments. I wear it with jeans, skirts, and dresses. It really elevates my outfit." —AnonymousPrice: $98 (available in sizes XS—XL and four colors) A lovely linen tunic top that would go swimmingly over a (swim)suit. (See what I did there? 😉) Its side slits show off a little leg when you're wearing it with bike shorts or a skirt, but will look equally adorable with pants, or even as a dress. Promising review: "I love pieces I can play with for different moods, seasons and looks. This piece is very versatile, quite lovely, and feminine. I'd like to toughen it up a bit in the fall with jeans or leggings and tall or moto boots. This summer will look great with any length shorts, with Birks, ballet flats, or heels. I sized up after reading the reviews about the shoulders being tight to make sure it fit as shown. Lovely little metal buttons, pin-tucking, medium-weight linen. Vintage vibes." —cyndiinazPrice: $128 (available in sizes XS—L and three colors) A romantic lacey slip dress that will accompany you to a friend's wedding, but can just as easily be worn around the house on a daily basis due to being so sssilky, sssultry, and sssoft. Warning: ⚠️ You might have to bat off some groomsmen. Promising review: "I love this dress! I wore to a wedding and it looked beautiful! I got so many compliments as well." —bethanyjonesPrice: $118 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors) A simple inside-out-looking sweater for the perfect lightweight, just-throw-it-on-and-go pullover. This knit will be your go-to whenever you need a layering piece, especially while on vacay, so you can relax in your relaxed-fit sweater. Promising review: "This is the best sweater to throw over a swimsuit at the beach. You can dress it up or down!!" —madibd11Price: $78 (available in sizes XS—XL and two colors) A two-piece tube set with a smocked back that will have you feeling like an influencer because everyone will be asking you where you got it. It can easily be mixed and matched with pieces you already own, plus its elastic waistline provides maximum comfort. Promising reviews: "Perfect fit, ultra comfy, will be wearing this on repeat." —meesh88"I know a lot of people said to size down in this, but I'm a bit curvier; I ordered true to size and I LOVE IT. Some people complain about the material being scratchy, but it's 100% cotton, and it feels like it! Also, I had no issues with the length. If I wear the pants with the waistband over my belly button, they still reach almost all the way to the floor. I'm so glad I ordered this set." —AnonymousPrice: $98 (available in sizes XS—XL and eight colors) A pair of long-ish denim shorts so you can check this wardrobe staple off your list. The raw bottom hem looks like you handcrafted them from an old pair of pants without having to actually cut up your beloved pair of blue jeans. Promising review: "The hype is real, these are amazing. I have muscular legs. These are perfect without being too mom-ish and trendy. TTS. Wouldn't change a thing about these." —meowedithPrice: $148 (available in sizes 24—34 and 10 washes) Or a pair of denim shorts with a little more flare (and flair!) that, at a glance, kinda looks like a skirt. And don't worry, you don't have to fumble with the button-up front because there's actually a sneaky elastic waistband in the back. Promising review: "I have them in five different colors and get so many compliments on them. Would love them in a washed, red, or burgundy." —AnonymousPrice: $78 (available in sizes XS—XL and eight colors)

'American Idol': Mississippi native Jamal Roberts makes Top 7. See his captivating performance
Jamal Roberts is steadily rising through the ranks of "American Idol" Season 23. The Meridian native is now in the Top 7. Last week, the 27-year-old Crestwood Elementary P.E. teacher became the sixth Mississippian in the show's history to break the Top 10. Sunday night, May 4, Roberts earned his spot in the Top 8 with a passionate rendition of Carrie Underwood's "Undo It." Monday night, May 5, Roberts gave a captivating performance singing Fantasia's "I Believe," bringing the audience to their feet. Roberts started his "American Idol" journey when he won a golden ticket singing "Mary Jane" by Rick James in audition rounds. In the weeks since his audition round aired, Roberts has traveled throughout the U.S. with his fellow contestants, eluding elimination rounds with his raw, soulful performances. In the first few weeks of elimination rounds, judges Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood held the power to decide who stayed and who went home. The power shifted into audiences' hands once the contestants were down to the Top 24. Roberts has proved to be an audience favorite, making it into the Top 20, then the Top 14, Top 10, Top 8 and now, the Top 7. Monday night's elimination was a combination of audience votes and judge decisions. The audience voted to determine the first six of the Top 7. Roberts secured his Top 7 spot on audience votes alone. Contestants Mattie Pruitt and Josh King did not earn enough votes, meaning the judges could chose one to complete the Top 7. The judges anonymously submitted a list of songs for the contestants to choose from Monday night. The two judges with the most songs selected by the contestants got to decide who to send home. Bryan and Richie earned the power to chose. After they conferred, Bryan and Richie announced their decision: Pruitt was sent home, and King advanced to the Top 7. If you want to cast your vote for Roberts, you can text during live episodes using Roberts' code, which appears on screen as he performs. Vote through the "American Idol" app or vote through the "American Idol" website. Here is the Top 7 of "American Idol" Season 23, in no particular order: Thunderstorm Artis John Foster Breanna Nix Jamal Roberts Slater Nalley Gabby Samone Josh King If you want to follow along with Roberts' journey, episodes air Sunday and Monday at 7 p.m. CST and on Hulu the following day.
