Sean O’Malley recently opened up about his feud with Conor McGregor, shedding light on the resolution of their conflict. McGregor had initially lashed out at O’Malley on social media, comparing him to boxer Ryan Garcia after both had tested positive for ostarine. However, McGregor later backtracked on his comments, expressing his fondness for O’Malley and admitting that he had been caught up in the moment.
Despite not having directly spoken to McGregor since the incident, O’Malley remains a fan of the former champion. He acknowledges McGregor’s influence on his career and views him as a legend in the sport. O’Malley believes that McGregor regretted his impulsive remarks, leading to the deletion of the Twitter message.
While O’Malley initially considered holding a grudge against McGregor, he has since moved past the incident. He admits that McGregor’s comments were unwarranted and lacked justification. O’Malley even went as far as rooting for Michael Chandler to defeat McGregor in their upcoming fight, showcasing his indifference towards their feud.
Although the possibility of a fight between O’Malley and McGregor remains uncertain, O’Malley does not rule it out. He acknowledges that McGregor is a formidable opponent and would welcome the opportunity to face him in the octagon. As McGregor prepares for his return at UFC 303 and O’Malley gears up for a title fight against Merab Dvalishvili, the prospect of a future showdown between the two fighters looms large.
