Sean O’Malley and Conor McGregor are clashing again

Sean O’Malley recently had a conversation on his YouTube handle where he showcased a study that stated that Ostarine can be transferred from one person to another through sweat. “So when Jeff Novitzky texted me and said, ‘The other day, check this out,’ I saw his name pop up and I had a heart attack. He sent me this article and said, ‘Look at this,’” claimed the fighter. It was later shared on X  and that drew the attention of Conor McGregor who came forward to add a laughing emoji.

‘The Notorious’ later deleted the tweet, however, it was too late as O’Malley took cognizance of the situation. The bantamweight champion took to his social media account to call out McGregor, “Miss the old Conor you fell off bud. Still a fan tho. 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.”

He added, “Conor isn’t in anyone GOAT talk. Entertainment yes but skills, no. Has a really good left hand. Shit Cardio. Weak Jits. Decently athletic. Mentally weak. Drug addict needs rehab. 1-4 last 5 fights. Still a fan tho. Hope toe heals up.” Well, McGregor has yet to provide any answer to O’Malley. Let us move forward to a piece of news about UFC 306.

Well, a fight between these BJJ specialists would sell like hotcakes for the promotion. It must be noted that this news has yet to be verified by any credible source, so it is better to take it with a pinch of salt.

UFC 304 timings might be an issue for the fighters as per Arnold Allen

The UFC will finally be returning to Engl͏and after a year-long wait. UFC 304 will feature the top he͏avyweights of England facing off against their US counterparts to defend their titles. The event will take place ͏at͏ the newly integrated Co-Op Arena in Ma͏nchester, which can hol͏d͏ up to 20,000 people. However, there is a problem associated with͏ this event.

The event timings are adjusted as per the US timings. So what’s the problem with it? Well, now the prelims will start at 11 PM (3 PM PT). The Main Card will start at 3 AM (7 PM PT). Looking at the timings, English fighter Arnold Allen came forward to call out the management. “It’s shit, I thought it was shit. Um, I got the contract and obviously, I was like, yeah, awesome, I want to fight in the UK,” Allen reckoned while speaking on The MMA Hour.

He added, “I didn’t know it was like some fan leaked a thing and then asked me a message like, “Oh, what are your thoughts of fighting at like 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. or whatever?” I was like, yeah, I never want to do that.” The timings are odd for the fighters as well as the fans.
