'Sugar' Sean O'Malley shreds UFC megastar Conor McGregor in scathing response: 'When your idols turn to rivals'

Conor McGregor has officially made an enemy out of one of his biggest supporters — ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley.

After Ryan Garcia tested positive for the banned substance ostarine in connection to his boxing match with Devin Haney last month, McGregor went hard at Garcia, calling for ‘King Ryan’ to be slapped with a lifetime ban from the sport.

Also drawing the ire of the Irishman was O’Malley who tested positive for ostarine in 2019, resulting in a six-month suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency.

“Don’t come near me if I see you ever Ryan Garcia. I am actually disgusted,” McGregor wrote in a since-deleted post. “This ostarine it reminds me of Sean O’Malley was on that as well. I don’t like this, I’ll bust yous both up, do yous want a spar. I will set flights right now for you both for a full on spar each. Hotel, Black Forge Inn, the lot. #letssparomalley and #garcia two little ostarine heads l’ll ride you both like yous are ostriches.”

It didn’t take long for O’Malley to respond on social media, telling McGregor to send a jet his way if he wants to throw hands at SBG Ireland.

“Send Jet for a quick spar,” O’Malley wrote in response.

Sean O’Malley caught off guard by mcGregor’s comments

During a recent episode of his TimboSugarShow podcast, O’Malley admitted that he was caught off guard by McGregor’s comments after the two had been nothing, but cordial toward one another over the years.

“That’s crazy what Conor did – f*ck Conor,” O’Malley said. “F*ck Conor, man. I’ve seen a lot of people being like, ‘Yeah, I bet ‘Suga’s’ sad. ‘Suga’ is always talking nothing (but) great about Conor, and he’s his f*cking idol.’ He just went on a little tweet rant. F*cking booger sugar’d up, talking sh*t. ‘I’ll fly you out to spar.’ Yeah, right. I was more sad than mad.

After nearly three years on the shelf, Conor McGregor will make his long-awaited return to the Octagon on June 29 for a showdown with former Bellator MMA champion ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler at UFC 303.

“Now I cannot wait to see Michael Chandler absolutely sleep [McGregor],” O’Malley added. “I’m turning up. I’m changing up real quick. F*ck Conor. When your idols turn to rivals.”

I respect his career as well — Olympic champion, undisputed cruiserweight champion, unified heavyweight champion. You have to respect that, I’m fighting the real deal. I’m looking forward to the challenge. He’s got good footwork, good boxing ability, technically sound. He’s proved he can mix it with the big heavyweights because he’s beat Anthony Joshua and Daniel Dubois. I’m messing with an elite fighter.”

Jon Jones defends status as undisputed UFC heavyweight champ, continues to snub Tom Aspinall

Jon Jones’ reign as the current UFC heavyweight world champion is being called into question.

With Francis Ngannou walking away from the promotion’s offer in favor of fame and fortune in the boxing ring, ‘Bones’ returned from a three-year-long layoff to compete for a vacated title against perennial contender Ciryl Gane at UFC 285.

It took Jones all of two minutes to submit ‘Bon Gamin’ to claim the heavyweight crown, making him a two-division champion.

Jon Jones

Unfortunately, Jon Jones has yet to defend the belt.

Originally, he was scheduled to put his strap on the line against the consensus heavyweight GOAT Stipe Miocic at UFC 295 in November. However, a pectoral injury suffered whilst training forced Jones to bow out of the bout. That paved the way for Tom Aspinall to step in and claim the interim heavyweight title with a stunning 69-second KO of Sergei Pavlovich.

As it stands, Aspinall will defend his interim title before Jones returns to defend the undisputed belt. That has some fight fans suggesting that the Salford, England native is the true heavyweight king, relegating Jones to the role of interim champion.

When one fan online suggested this, noting that Jones simply “won a vacant belt,” ‘Bones’ snapped back writing: “Lol I went into the cage a champion, I left the cage that night a champion.”

Jon Jones more interested in a fight with alex pereira than tom aspinall

Even though a fight between Jon Jones and Tom Aspinall should be top priority for the UFC, it appears as though ‘Bones’ has absolutely no interest in fighting the UK-based star, even if he gets past the 41-year-old Miocic later this year.

Instead, Jones is either toying with retirement or a heavyweight title clash with fellow two-division titleholder Alex Pereira. Taking to social media, ‘Bones’ gauged interest from fans, suggesting that a superfight fight against ‘Poatan’ would be the biggest fight the UFC could make in the division, completely snubbing Aspinall in the process.

“If Alex P became champion of the heavyweight division, would you guys consider him the GOAT?” Jones asked on X. “Being back in the gym has got me thinking differently. That fight after Stipe maybe the next biggest move I could possibly make.This killer has already defeated so many champions, and is already considered a legend to millions around the world. The most massive fight the UFC could make. Give Alex a chance to avenge all those great Brazilian champions I’ve defeated.”

Jon Jones

Accused of outright ducking Aspinall by one commenter, Jones snapped back in a follow-up post.

“You actually think me fighting Tom would be more massive than Alex and I colliding? Tom only matters in the UK, newsflash,” Jones wrote in response. “Pereira is one of the most polarizing figures this sport has seen. Toms a contender who won a belt against another contender. We had to save Madison Square Gardens main event. I’m thinking dollar signs, legacy, big picture here. Not what UK fans are dying to see. Literally just went through this with the French fans.”
