Sean O’Malley Admits He Lacks Conor McGregor-Like Charisma at Press Conferences: “I Feel Like It’ll Come”

It’s really important for fighters to be able to speak well during press conferences since the talks on the mic determine how popular a fighter becomes. Without a doubt, Conor McGregor tops the list when it comes to having the best charisma while handling a microphone. Furthermore, there isn’t a single warrior in the world of combat sports who doesn’t aspire to be like McGregor in press conferences. Recently, Sean O’Malley, in his talk show with Timothy Welch, revealed that he lacked the charisma like that of the Irishman during the conferences. 

Furthermore, he revealed that he was, in fact, on the path to becoming a better speaker. Although he was reminded that he indeed did well during the conference at Abu Dhabi, O’Malley’s aspiration to dominate the mic remained constant.

Sebastian asked, “How come no one else has tried to get more like, McGregor style on the mic?”

Adding to the talk, Welch opined that one needed to be really skillful to be able to be ‘mouthy’ on the mic. Immediately after, ‘Sugar’ was reminded that he did an impressive job in Abu Dhabi. However, the fact that his opponents like Petr Yan and Raulian Paiva didn’t speak English got in his way. However, the fighter admitted that Abu Dhabi was a lesson for him.

But, I need to just f**king grab, get asked a question, ignore it, get on the mic and say something funny, because I was gonna say, uh, I almost want to save it.”

‘Sugar’ desires to be a superstar for the UFC

Without a doubt, O’Malley revealed his belief that UFC needs a star to bring it back up again. Surprisingly, he believed that he could be the one to lift UFC up again.

‘Sugar’ said, “I’m not saying I’m the best fighter, I’m talking about who’s gonna bring the most eyeballs, who’s gonna give the people that feeling when they walk out? At the weigh-ins, during fight week, and they’re like, ‘Oh, s**t. This fight’s happening.’ It’s me.”
