Sean O’Malley aiming higher than Conor McGregor

Whenever people talk about MMA or the UFC, most fans think directly about Conor McGregor. He is the most common name that pops up when people talk about the sport. However, after the UFC 292 win, Sean O’Malley has gained his fair share of stardom. Although he was one of the most popular fighters in the promotion, the win over Aljamain Sterling earned into a new superstar status.

In a recent interview with ‘TMZ’, ‘Suga’ mentioned how people were starting to draw comparisons between him and Conor McGregor. Claiming to be a fan of ‘The Notorious’, O’Malley mentioned that he had no hard feelings for the former double champion. However, he is aiming big. The bantamweight champion wants to be the biggest star in the UFC, even bigger than McGregor. “I am probably the biggest Conor McGregor fan… that’s where the line’s at, and I wanna go above that,” said O’Malley. We will have to wait and see what the future has in store for the new champion.
