Known for his flamboyant personality and striking prowess, O’Malley took to Twitter to share his unfiltered thoughts on McGregor’s current state as a mixed martial artist.

Sean O’Malley Opens Up on Conor McGregor
“Conor isn’t in anyone’s GOAT talk. Entertainment yes, but skills, no. Has a really good left hand. Sh*t cardio. Weak jits. Decently athletic. Mentally weak. Drug addict, needs rehab. 1-4 in his last 5 fights. Still a fan tho. Hope the toe heals up,” O’Malley tweeted.
O’Malley also speculated about the real reason behind Conor McGregor’s withdrawal from his scheduled fight against Michael Chandler at UFC 303. While it was officially due to a toe injury, O’Malley suggested that McGregor’s alleged cocaine addiction might have played a role.
