Conor McGregor is the GOAT, says Sean O Malley

05 October 2022

UFC fighter Sean O Malley feels that former UFC Champion Conor McGregor is the Greatest of All Time. O Malley revealed the same on his YouTube Channel and added that McGregor took the sport to the next level.

“It’s crazy to look back on him, like when he first got in UFC, when he first fought Dustin Poirier. It just reminds you. It shows you. That’s why that motherf**ker is so big. Just his character at the beginning was so fun and entertaining. He’s the G.O.A.T,” O Malley noted (h/t Low Kick MMA)

The Bantamweight further went on to add that McGregor might not have the best skill set but reiterated why McGregor should be considered as a GOAT.

“Maybe not G.O.A.T when it comes to skillset, it’s hard to say who’s the G.O.A.T. Like, who’s the best, it’s hard to say. When it comes to who’s the G.O.A.T., who really blew up the sport, who really took it to the next level, who is the most entertaining, who captivated the most people, Conor is the G.O.A.T. And not even anyone really that close,” he added.

McGregor has been out of action for more than a year after the injury that he picked up during his trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier. The Irishman has been actively recovering from injury and is expected to make his return in 2023.

The former champion has teased a potential return to boxing as well along with a potential return to the UFC.

As for O Malley, he will be going up against Petr Yan at UFC 280 in Abu Dhabi. The fight promises to be a big step for O Malley who could edge closer to a title fight if he gets a win over the Russian.
