Sean O’Malley reveals the message he received from Conor McGregor following his UFC 292 title triumph.
McGregor has had multiple instances of shedding appraisal on “Sugar”, a fighter of Irish descent, and in his biggest accomplishment at UFC 292 last week when O’Malley defeated Ajlamain Sterling to become the new UFC bantamweight champ, there was no lack of appreciation from the part of “The Notorious”.
“Look at O’Malley saying the same thing, ‘I’m going to be as big as Conor’. Then, he goes out and does the exact same f*cking thing I’m doing, to make [himself] as big as Conor,” said McGregor in a deleted post on X.“You get me? It’s just f*cking madness… It’s mad to see to be honest. What way did the f*cking finish go? It was almost identical, in the main event, and, I don’t know. It’s crazy, big respect. I might’ve not read the whole book, but I know a few pages lad. That can’t be denied.”
He said ‘baby we did it’: Sean O’Malley reveals message from Conor McGregor
Although McGregor removed the post, O’Malley revealed to Pat McAfee that the Irishman also sent him a text on Instagram to congratulate him for the remarkable feat, and said that the two also had a discussion about featuring in the main and co-main event of the UFC event in December.
“I’m really hoping so. I actually, Conor messaged me on Instagram for the first time yesterday (Monday), he said ‘baby we did it.’ I said ‘we sure f*****g’ did.’ I said ‘you main eventing in December, I’m co-main eventing?’ All he replied was ‘shot caller.’ I don’t know what that means, but I feel like I kind of do. I’m hoping that’s a yes in f*****g Irish,” said O’Malley.
