‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley is hoping to one day secure a “dream fight” against former dual weight UFC champion Conor McGregor.
The surging bantamweight prospect is due to face Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera in the co-main event of UFC 252 this Saturday (August 15). Despite having his toughest test to date in ahead of him O’Malley is already looking to the future and wants to emulate the careers of McGregor and UFC middleweight champ, Israel Adesanya.
“I think obviously Conor’s career went well, Israel Adesanya’s career went well, and I feel like I want a similar career like that,” O’Malley told reporters, including LowKickMMA, during Wednesday’s UFC 252 virtual media day. “(Conor and I are) pretty similar in fighting styles. We knock people out in the first round. We’re not afraid to say how the fight will play out.”
While O’Malley clearly has immense respect for McGregor and all that the Irishman has achieved the 25-year-old still hopes to fight against him one day.
“Probably Conor. I think fans would like that,” O’Malley said when asked what fight he’d like regardless of division. “I think that’s an exciting fight. That’s a fight that I feel like I could win. It’s not just like a ‘there’s not a chance,’ I feel like that’s a fight I could win. It’s a fight that would probably be a dream fight.
“I’m lighter, he’s heavier. I’m way faster than him. He hits hard, I’m good at not getting hit. It’d be interesting.” (Transcribed by Bloody Elbow)
McGregor has spent the majority of his UFC career at 145lbs but he is very unlikely to make the featherweight limit again. ‘Notorious’ last fought at welterweight against Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone. He is currently “retired” from the sport after becoming frustrated with the lack of fights available to him.

‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley has predicted he will become the first man to finish Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera at UFC 252 which takes place on August 15 in Las Vegas. The popular bantamweight prospect is in the toughest fight of his life against Vera and that is something he recognizes.
Speaking to Just Scrap Radio on BJPENN.com O’Malley noted his UFC 252 opponent poses a serious threat, he said.
“He is a dangerous opponent and a really good black belt in jiu-jitsu has some TKO wins. A bunch of stoppages and has never been finished so that will be sweet for me to finish him for the first time. It is in the smaller cage so I was thinking that is a disadvantage. But, the more I think about it will be a disadvantage for him. It doesn’t really matter what we fight in. I don’t see him being able to connect any punches or get ahold of me. It won’t be a fun fight for him.”
O’Malley also realizes Vera is tough but that won’t stop him from scoring a first-round knockout on Saturday night.
“Vera is tough and can take some shots and a lot of the fights I was watching he was taking shots on the side of the head or the top, not the chin,” O’Malley said. “I hit people right on the chin. So, yeah I see another first-round knockout. But, I’ll be ready for 15 minutes. I think this will be a sweet fight for me to get a lot of highlights. I think I will be able to bust him up for a little while.
“If it plays out the way I want it to, I’ll get an early knockout,” he later added.
O’Malley is a strong striker who many believe Vera should try to take down in this fight. However, ‘Suga’ warns he has a serious ground game too it’s just something he hasn’t had the chance to show yet, he said.
“Chito is a black belt and follows jiu-jitsu, he has to assume my jiu-jitsu is decent. Whatever he assumes my jiu-jitsu is, it is better than that. It is a secret weapon. If he takes a shot on me and it is not a good shot and his head isn’t where it is supposed to be he is getting choked 100 percent. If he does take me down, we will see how that plays out. I’m very confident in my wrestling, my jiu-jitsu, I’m very confident to get back up off my back. Anywhere the fight goes I can get a finish.”

‘Suga’ Sean O’Malley is hoping to fight the best at 135lbs after he takes out Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera in the UFC 252 co-main event this weekend.
O’Malley has scored back-to-back first-round knockouts in 2020 to catapult himself into the bantamweight rankings. He faces the toughest fight of his career when he squares off against Vera on August 15. Despite the tough task in front of him, O’Malley is already looking towards future fights.
In an interview with Brett Okamoto of ESPN O’Malley expressed his belief that he will face one of the top five at bantamweight after he finishes Vera, he said.
“I think it’s going to be hard not to give me someone in the top five after I knock out ‘Chito’. They are going to see my skill level is legitimate and the fans are going to demand to see me fight one of these next top guys. So, after this fight you’ve gotta give what the fans want and I think everyone knows exactly what I’m talking about.”
In terms of specific opponents, O’Malley believes a fight with the former bantamweight champion Cody Garbrandt remains on the table despite the fact ‘No Love’ is dropping down for a shot a the 125lb title against the newly crowned flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo.
“I think it makes sense,” O’Malley said of a potential fight with Garbrandt. “It totally depends. So much can happen in fights.”
“We’ll see. I don’t know it’s hard to say. If it plays out perfect in my mind. I knock out ‘Chito’. I knock out Cody and the we’ll see what’s next.”
