Sean O’Malley has shared his perspective on the much-anticipated UFC 303 main event featuring Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler.
With McGregor's comeback slated for later this month, O'Malley, the UFC bantamweight champion, is eagerly awaiting the outcome, much like the fans.
Expressing uncertainty about the outcome, O'Malley believes a victory for McGregor would be significant, potentially paving the way for even more high-profile fights in the future. He emphasized the attention and interest an active McGregor brings to the sport, indicating his support for "The Notorious" in the upcoming bout.
While O'Malley previously expressed a desire for Michael Chandler to defeat McGregor, this sentiment arose following McGregor's criticism of O'Malley and Ryan Garcia for their respective issues with the banned substance ostarine.
However, McGregor later clarified his stance, acknowledging O'Malley's unique circumstances and expressing his admiration for the fighter. Likewise, O'Malley has reciprocated this sentiment, labeling himself as a longtime fan of McGregor, praising his career and influence in the sport.
Having been on the undercard during McGregor's last fight at UFC 264, O'Malley is poised to closely observe McGregor's performance in his return at UFC 303.
