UFC fighter Sean O'Malley recently found himself at the center of controversy after receiving criticism from fellow fighter Conor McGregor. McGregor, known for his outspoken nature, took aim at O'Malley in a now-deleted post on social media, referencing O'Malley's past positive tests for Ostarine, a banned substance.
In response to McGregor's comments, O'Malley expressed feeling more 'sad than mad' about the situation. Despite being a fan of McGregor and often speaking highly of him, O'Malley did not hold back in his profane response on his podcast.
O'Malley's positive tests for Ostarine were attributed to potential supplement contamination rather than intentional use of the substance. McGregor's remarks seemed to have struck a chord with O'Malley, who now views McGregor in a different light.
The tension between the two fighters has added an intriguing dynamic to the UFC landscape, with fans speculating on a potential showdown between them in the future. McGregor is set to headline UFC 303 on June 29, while O'Malley's return to the Octagon is still uncertain, though rumors suggest a possible headline slot in September.
As two of the UFC's biggest draws, the rivalry between McGregor and O'Malley could lead to a high-profile matchup down the line. Whether they will eventually face off inside the Octagon remains to be seen, but the animosity between them has certainly captured the attention of MMA fans worldwide.
