Conor McGregor found his way back to the fighting world gossip after he unleashed his wrath upon Ryan Garcia in a now-deleted tweet, as a response to PED allegations on Garcia. However, Sean O’Malley also got attacked for testing positive for the same banned substance, ostarine, back in 2018 and 2019. ‘The Notorious’ challenged the boxer and the bantamweight mixed martial artist to spar with him at the Black Forge Inn. However, the sparring invitation seems to have backfired on the Irishman.
The former UFC contender, Michael Bisping, came forward to advise O’Malley to counter McGregor’s invite, fly to Ireland, and spar with the former UFC champ. He further pointed out the benefits of the spar if ‘Suga’ took it on. Intrigued? Let’s get right on it.

‘The Count’ recently took to his YouTube channel and talked about the recent developments in Ryan Garcia’s PED scandal. He zoomed in on McGregor’s rant in the deleted tweet against Garcia and O’Malley. The former UFC double champion claimed that he would “bust” both of them in a spar and then called for a “full on spar” at the Black Forge Inn. But Bisping pushed ‘Suga’ on to take up the sparring fight.
The UFC commentator said, “My advice to Sean O’Malley would be to take him up on the offer. Take him up on the offer. Get on the jet. Fly over to Ireland. Get to the Black Forge Inn. Go and have a spar. Bring your YouTube crew, bring your cameramen.”
Furthermore, the former mixed martial artist also claimed that the spar, if released on YouTube, would garner millions of views. He suggested that the event had the power to materialize into an actual fight between O’Malley and McGregor. “It’ll get millions of views. Okay, give something to everybody to talk about. And you never know, it could even materialize a fight between O’Malley and McGregor one day down the line.”

While it is yet to be seen if O’Malley would work on Bisping’s advice, the 29-year-old did give it back to McGregor.
What does ‘Suga’ think of ‘The Notorious’?
The Irish fighter’s rant didn’t take much time to turn O’Malley against him. The bantamweight champion was once a fan of the ‘Mystic Mac’. But when one’s idol bashes them, all affection turns sour. On Bradley Martin’s Raw Talk, O’Malley revealed his thoughts on McGregor. Although he claimed that he would stay in his lane when it came to big guys, ‘Suga’ didn’t back down from wanting a piece of McGregor. “Conor is one of the only guys that I would fight. That motherf***er’s big. I’d fight him at 55′,” claimed the 29-year-old.

Meanwhile, speaking on the ‘TImboSugarShow’, O’Malley also reflected on people talking about him being a fanboy for McGregor and taking him up as his idol. Without a doubt, the events deeply saddened the bantamweight champ. “‘I’ll fly you out to spar.’ Yeah, right. I was more sad than mad,” he said.
