Sean O’Malley fires back at Conor McGregor insult, now challenges Michael Chandler to knock him out

UFC bantamweight champion Sean O’Malley has found himself in the middle of a social media feud with former two-division champion Conor McGregor. McGregor recently went on a rant on Twitter, calling out O’Malley and boxing star Ryan Garcia for their alleged use of the banned substance ostarine.

O’Malley, who tested positive for ostarine in the past but was later cleared by the United States Anti-Doping Agency, responded to McGregor’s comments on his podcast, the TimboSugarShow. In a mix of humor and seriousness, O’Malley expressed his disappointment in McGregor’s words and even went as far as to say he’s rooting for Michael Chandler to knock McGregor out in his upcoming fight at UFC 303.

Despite the heated exchange, O’Malley seemed to take McGregor’s outburst in stride, attributing it to a night of mischief possibly involving recreational drugs. He joked about McGregor being on “some good amount of fun stuff” and mentioned that he cried for a bit but is now over it.

Whether there is any genuine animosity between the two fighters remains to be seen, but for now, O’Malley seems to have moved on from McGregor’s comments. As the UFC bantamweight champion continues to focus on his own career, fans will have to wait and see if there are any further developments in this unexpected feud.
