Sean O'Malley Slams Conor McGregor in Spicy ExchangeMMAnytt.com

Introduction

Former fan and now UFC bantamweight champion Sean “Sugar” O’Malley has turned critical of Conor McGregor following the latter’s provocative comments on social media. The altercation sparked after McGregor’s sharp criticism towards both O’Malley and boxing sensation Ryan Garcia.

Catalyst for Conflict

The conflict ignited when Ryan Garcia tested positive for the banned substance ostarine shortly after his celebrated victory over Devin Haney. McGregor did not hold back, lambasting Garcia for the doping violation, a substance that O’Malley had previously tested positive for in 2018 and 2019.

O’Malley’s Doping Controversy

Despite his past positive tests, the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) later confirmed that O’Malley’s results were consistent with contamination from a tainted supplement. However, this did not prevent McGregor from lumping O’Malley with Garcia in his tirade.

McGregor’s Provocative Proposal

Expressing his disgust, McGregor wrote in a now-deleted post: “I am actually disgusted. This ostarine reminds me of Sean O’Malley—who also took it. I don’t like this, I’ll beat both of you. Wanna spar? I’m booking flights right now so we can have a full spar each. Hotel, Black Forge Inn, everything. Let’s spar O’Malley and Garcia, two little ostarine heads. I’ll ride you both like you were ostriches.”

O’Malley’s Response

Addressing McGregor’s comments in an episode of his podcast TimboSugarShow, O’Malley said, “Fck Conor. I’ve seen many people saying, ‘Man, I bet ‘Sugar’ is sad. ‘Sugar’ always talks only good about Conor and he is his fcking idol.’ He just went on a little tweet rant, fcking booger sugar’d up and talking sht. I was more sad than angry.”

No Love Lost

While O’Malley often speaks with a twinkle in his eye, making it unclear if his remarks bear any genuine malice, he mentioned hoping to see McGregor knocked out by Michael Chandler in his upcoming comeback at UFC 303 on June 29. Turning the page, O’Malley added, “Now, I can’t wait to see Michael Chandler put him to sleep. I switch sides fast, f*ck Conor. When your idols become your rivals.”

Conclusion

In the aftermath, O’Malley believes McGregor’s erratic behavior might be drug-induced. “He was obviously on a lot of fun stuff. I think the tweet was deleted pretty quickly, but it is what it is. I cried for a bit, but I’m over it now.”
