Bringing you the weird and wild from the world of MMA each and every weeknight!
Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Sean O’Malley has changed his pick for UFC 303 and is now hoping to see Conor McGregor get slept by Michael Chandler.
If you’re wondering why O’Malley is pulling for “Notorious” to lose his UFC return then look no further than the social media cheap shot McGregor took at the UFC bantamweight champion last weekend. McGregor even offered to fly O’Malley out to Ireland to spar, which “Suga” gladly accepted.
O’Malley recently had another chance to reflect on his weekend spat with McGregor. The UFC champion revealed that he was more “sad than mad” about hearing McGregor comments and now wants “Notorious” to get destroyed by Chandler in his return at UFC 303.
Check it out below:

“F—k Conor,” said O’Malley. “I seen a lot of people being like, ‘Damn, I bet Suga’s sad. Suga always talks nothing but great about Conor and he’s his f—king idol.’ He just went on a little tweet rant, f—king booger sugar’d up talking sh-t. ‘I thought you was out for a spar.’
“I was more sad than mad.”
“Now I cannot wait to see Michael Chandler absolutely just sleep him,” he added. “I’m turning up. I’m changing up real quick, f—k Conor. When your idols turn to rivals.”
