Sean O’Malley has long been a fan of Conor McGregor, but that didn’t stop him from tearing his idol to shreds on social media.
‘The Notorious’ often rubs people the wrong way with his blunt approach online, and that was the case once again. After the UFC bantamweight champion claimed that Ostarine — an illegal substance he was flagged with by USADA — can be transferred through sweat, McGregor reacted to the comment with a simple laughing emoji.
Sean O’Malley took offense to McGregor’s response and aired his thoughts on the former two-division UFC champion.
“Miss the old Conor,” O’Malley stated in response to McGregor on X. “You fell off bud.”
“Still a fan, though. 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.”

O’Malley continued, dispelling McGregor from any ‘greatest of all time’ discussions, before labeling him mentally weak.
“Conor isn’t in anyone’s GOAT talk. Entertainment, yes. But skill, no. [He] has a really good left hand.”
“[McGregor has] sh*t cardio. Weak [jiu-jitsu]. Decently athletic. Mentally weak. Drug addict, needs rehab. 1-4 [in his] last 5 fights. Still [a] fan, though. Hope toe heals up.”

This isnt the first time Sean O’Malley and Conor McGregor have butted heads online. After the Irishman again called O’Malley out for his alleged Ostarine usage, the bantamweight wasted no time in ‘switching up’ against the MMA icon.
Before reconciling following their first spat earlier this year, O’Malley jumped to side with Michael Chandler. The Arizona native wanted Chandler to put McGregor to sleep amid their rumored matchup.
Months later, that blockbuster matchup between McGregor and Chandler still hasn’t come to fruition. Despite the constant setbacks plaguing the fight, there is still hope that the two fan-favorites will collide later this year.
