Sean O’Malley has agreed to Conor McGregor’s impromptu proposal, hoping to be flown to Ireland by ‘The Notorious’ himself.
McGregor is back in training mode for his upcoming bout against Michael Chandler at UFC 303, marking his return to the octagon after a three-year hiatus following a leg injury in a fight with Dustin Poirier back in July 2021. McGregor is not shying away from issuing challenges to any and all potential opponents, making headlines with his every move.
Previously a supporter of boxer Ryan Garcia, McGregor had a change of heart when Garcia tested positive for ostarine following his victory over Devin Haney. McGregor now seems interested in facing off with Garcia, or perhaps with O’Malley, who faced a similar ostarine-related controversy in 2019.

In a now-deleted tweet, McGregor expressed his disdain for Ryan Garcia and referenced O’Malley’s past involvement with ostarine. This led McGregor to challenge both fighters to a spar, arranging for a flight, accommodations, and a showdown. O’Malley found McGregor’s challenge intriguing.
O’Malley responded, “Let the Jets go for a quick spar,” on X (formerly Twitter).
It’s unclear whether this challenge will materialize into an actual event. McGregor, known for his promotional tactics and ventures outside the octagon, is focusing on his Proper 12 Whiskey business, which has been a lucrative venture for him. Despite his off-ring activities, McGregor is gearing up for his fight with Michael Chandler at UFC 303 and has always had a knack for grabbing the spotlight, albeit sometimes controversially.
His business endeavors, like Proper 12 Whiskey, have reportedly generated substantial earnings for him, and he is now looking to replicate this success with his stout brand. McGregor’s ability to balance his business pursuits with his athletic career remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – he knows how to stay in the public eye.
As McGregor prepares for his return to the cage on June 29th, the influence of his ventures outside of fighting may impact his performance. McGregor’s ability to captivate audiences extends beyond the octagon, ensuring that he remains a prominent figure in the world of sports and entertainment.
