Sean O’Malley, Ryan Garcia, and Conor McGregor are at each other’s throats after ‘Mystic Mac’ added a statement on his social media calling out Garcia for PED use and accusing O’Malley of the same. Just a few ͏days after Garcia defeated Devin Ha͏n͏ey in their boxing match, reports emerged that G͏arcia͏ was on tested positive for Os͏tarine. This stirred ͏up the entire combat sports world, including once-fans of Garcia like ͏Conor ͏McGregor.

The former dual weig͏ht cha͏mpion took to ͏his X account to ͏post a tweet where he brutally rip͏ped apart Gar͏cia a͏nd accu͏sed ͏Sean O’Mal͏ley of doin͏g the sa͏me͏. Ho͏we͏͏ver͏, he l͏a͏ter deleted ͏the tweet, but the ͏͏damage was ͏already͏ done as both Garci͏a and O͏’Malley to͏ok no͏tic͏e of it. Both fighters responded to McGregor, however, none of them gave further clarification. Nonetheless, O’Malley in his most recent outing has given the reason why McGregor might have come after him.

Sean O’Malley accuses Conor McGregor of attacking him over a failed business deal

The reigning bantamweight champion, Sean O’Malley had always been a fan of Conor McGregor, and the sudden callout by the former dual-weight champion was ‘sad’ for him. While having a conversation with bodybuilder and controversial MMA influencer, Bradley Martyn on his podcast ‘Raw Talk’, O’Malley explained that McGregor’s fame and shine have gotten to his head.“He sees, like, you know, he’s starting to… he’s starting to get pushed out, I’m starting to come up. It’s like, yeah, there’s no other reason for him to talk about me,” said O’Malley.

The bantamweight champion further emphasized that he never said anything bad about McGregor and has always praised him. It was just shocking for him to witness one of his idols call him out like this.“I’ve never said anything but praised him, you know? I’ve looked up to him. So, I want to try to hate him, but you know, it’s hard. Conor, he’s the man. He really is. But I… I don’t know. I really don’t feel any way about it. When I first saw it, I was like, “What the…”

O’Malley further revealed a piece of information that was supposed to be hidden from the fight world. “God, I know he’s probably geeked out, yeah, uh, you know, jealous.” You know? So, he wanted me to sign with their management company. I didn’t want to, so he’s, you know, he sees me blowing up. So I don’t know he he he he like you say deleted it real quick after I’m sure either his team did or he’s like ‘God why did I do that’ but I don’t know.”

According to Sean O’Malley, McGregor’s sports management company wanted to sign him under them, however, the bantamweight champion denied it as he is opposed to using any management company to look after his dailies. Nonetheless, this sudden callout by Conor McGregor seems to have given O’Malley a reason to go against the Dubliner.

O’Malley pulls back his support for McGregor

Sean O’Malley and Conor McGregor have many similarities and one of them was the way they won their featherweight and bantamweight belts respectively. ‘Suga’ looked up to McGregor as his idol, however, it seems like ‘Mystic Mac’ had no regard for O’Malley’s appreciation anymore. After the tweet went viral, O’Malley withdrew his support for McGregor and added that he couldn’t wait to see him lose against Michael Chandler.

“F— Conor, man. I’ve seen a lot of people being like, ‘Yeah, I bet Suga is sad. Suga is always talking [but] great about Conor, and he’s his f—ing idol.’ He just went on a little tweet rant. F—ing booger sugar’d up, talking s—. ‘I’ll fly you out to spar.’ Yeah, right. I was more sad than mad,” said O’Malley in a conversation with TimboSugarShow Podcast.

Sean O’Malley might not look at Conor McGregor the same way that he looked up to him before the beef. Nonetheless, what are your thoughts on this situation? State your thoughts in the comments below.
