Sean O'Malley left YouTube star Tyler Chaffee doubled over in pain after landing a spinning body kick during a party.
Prankster group Nelk Boys are friends with a whole host of the UFC's biggest names including the promotion's president Dana White. The squad are famous for their comedy videos and have a subscriber base of over seven million on video streaming service YouTube.
Most recently a member of the group Kyle Forgeard went viral recently after being gifted $250,000 in cash by White at a plush dinner which angered fans and fighters alike. Now the group have been thrown into the public eye again after a video emerged of the group hanging out with bantamweight contender O'Malley.
A member of the group Tyler Chaffee was filmed partying with O'Malley who lined up a spinning kick with one of Chaffee's friends holding him still. The American landed the powerful kick straight to the torso of Chaffee who was immediately thrown into pain and doubled over after feeling the effect of the shot.
Everyone around the pair laughed as Chaffee continued to wince in pain and remained doubled over. O'Malley came forward to lean down and check on the YouTube star who slowly began to recover from the torso kick. O'Malley is currently out of training camp after fighting Pedro Munhoz in a no contest that was ended prematurely due to an accidental eye poke.
He is looking to continue his rise up the bantamweight rankings to secure a future shot at current champion Aljimain Sterling who recently defeated Petr Yan to gain the crown. The YouTube stars Nelk Boys have come under fire alongside president Dana White for their recent $250,000 stunt, with the likes of Paddy Pimblett being paid just $12,000 for his last UFC exploit.

Chaffee's friend Forgeard was left speechless by White after receiving the money in a box, and immediately took to social media to share the news. White came under heavy fire from all angles including YouTube star Jake Paul who has been outspoken on the issue of fighter pay.
Paul criticised his long-term rival and believes the stunt is "embarrassing" for the fighters that are allegedly being underpaid. It sucks and it's embarrassing," Paul told WFAN Sports Radio's Carton and Roberts show of the video. "It just shows how much of a s***bag Dana White is. How could you do that to your fighters? You're giving out birthday gifts to someone but your own flyweight champion you can't pay him enough? And there's no healthcare for his fighters?
"People are really starting to see how greedy this guy is, people are really starting to see that these fighters are underpaid. There's got to be some change made here. The more we talk about it, the more we raise awareness and the more we fight back, the more pressure they're going to be under to pay their fighters more."
