The controversial American beat Aljamain Sterling to win the UFC Bantamweight title on Saturday evening.
The newly minted UFC Bantamweight Champion was speaking to the media after his stunning win over Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292 on Saturday evening and suggested that a bout with the Irishman could be on the horizon.
While speaking about a potential boxing match with the undefeated Gervonta Davis, McGregor's name came into the conversation and 'Suga' suggested that was a fight that was bound to happen.“I wouldn’t mind knocking out Gervonta Davis and I know people are going to say I wanna be like Conor. I’m telling you…that fight is going to happen,” said O'Malley.
The 28-year-old has long been compared to the outspoken McGregor, and his victory on Saturday night evoked memories of the Dubliner's iconic 13 second KO of Jose Aldo eight years ago. While a fight between the two would be huge, O'Malley may have to weight in line to get a crack at McGregor as the Irishman has stated that he will fight Michael Chandler in his UFC return this December.
