Is Sean O'Malley right to call out Conor McGregor, or is he just seeking attention?

Sean O’Malley and Conor McGregor are back at it again. The undisputed bantamweight champion and the former dual weight champion have been throwing jabs at each other since the Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney incident back in May. Just when we thought their banter was over, things have gotten even worse. ‘Suga’s recent statement regarding Ostarine has started another controversy and this time Conor McGregor is at the forefront.

At one point in time, O’Malley was a huge fan of McGregor “I’ll forever be a massive Conor fan,” said O’Malley in between the feud. McGregor attacked O’Malley without any context which forced the bantamweight champion to jump for answers. Months have passed since their feud and a new post by O’Malley seems to have started it all over again.

In his latest escapade, Sean O’Malley has come forward to add a study to his X handle. What’s the study, you ask? Well, it is a long article that states that Ostarine can be transferred from one person to another person through sweat. O’Malley originally quoted this statement when he was having a conversation on his podcast. This post was shared with O’Malley by UFC drug-testing czar Jeff Novitzky. “So when Jeff Novitzky texted me and said, ‘The other day, check this out,’ I saw his name pop up and I had a heart attack. He sent me this article and said, ‘Look at this.'”

Conor McGregor reacted to this news with a laughing emoji, however, ‘The Notorious’ later deleted the tweet but it was a bit too late as O’Malley took cognizance of the situation. In an attempt to counter McGregor, O’Malley took to his X handle to add some rough take on McGregor. “Miss the old Conor 🙁 you fell off bud. Still a fan tho. I actually don’t care you are 1-4 in your last 5 I’m still excited to watch. Hope the toe is feeling better,” wrote O’Malley.

He further added, “Conor isn’t in anyone GOAT talk. Entertainment yes but skills, no. Has a really good left hand. Shit Cardio. Weak Jits. Decently athletic. Mentally weak. Drug addict needs rehab. 1-4 last 5 fights. Still a fan tho. Hope toe heals up.”

What’s your perspective on:

Is Sean O'Malley right to call out Conor McGregor, or is he just seeking attention?

Have an interesting take?

Conor McGregor has yet to comment on anything after the content attack. Well, after some moment of heated jitters between ‘Notorious’ and ‘Suga’, O’Malley came forward to state that he couldn’t hate McGregor as he was one of his idols. Interestingly, McGregor also made a similar statement.

The time when McGregor praised Sean O’Malley

“The biggest fan, watched his career play out, watched every single interview possible. I learned a ton from him. He’s a legend. That’s it. It is what it is,” said O’Malley while having a conversation with MMAFighting. This statement by the bantamweight champion came soon after he brutally countered Conor McGregor’s claim on his PED usage.

O’Malley was not the only one who turned his tone. While in conversation on a live stream, McGregor asserted that he likes O’Malley, “You know, I like Sean O’Malley; I do actually like Sean. I just seen the disrespect of [Ryan] Garcia… it just reminded me of a situation with Sean, and he kind of got caught in the crosshairs. He also said something like he’d beat me, not in his wildest dreams. But I do like Sean.”

Their back and forth will carry on till one of them remains silent but it’s unlikely to happen. What’s your take on their interaction? State your thoughts in the comments below.
