Everyone at the UFC looks forward to Conor McGregor’s return to the UFC. This is nothing more than Sean O’Malley, who made the bold claim to be the number one star in the Octagon that McGregor should lose.
Shawn O’Malley is the number one star in UFC?
Sean O’Malley believes he could potentially become the sport’s biggest star as he will rise in the UFC ranks in an impressive way.
Conor McGregor is set to fight Michael Chandler in the comeback battle, but if he loses that matchup, “Suga Shawn” believes he will become the biggest star in the UFC.
“I think I’m very close,” O’Malley said to be the biggest star of the octagon. “I think Connor had another big fight against him for the big question mark. Connor can come back. Can he actually beat (Michael) Chandler?

“When he goes outside and loses his next fight, it’s like a six-game winning streak,” O’Malley said. “You have to die in the end. Maybe not. It tests how big he is, but I think he’ll go out there, he’ll lose, I’m there. I’m a guy. I’m the number one.”
It has not yet been confirmed that McGregor has returned to the UFC. The Irish had to delay his comeback due to a broken toe earlier this year.
Meanwhile, O’Malley is fighting quickly this weekend. He will take on Merab Dvalishvili in the main event of UFC 306.
“I bring about the fight,” O’Malley continued.
“Connor was very good with the microphone, the accent, the words he chose, he was very good with the microphone. Performance, he had some good performances, but I’m just consistent now. I’m fighting a lot. That’s what I bring.”
If Suga Sean can win again this weekend, he will extend his winning streak to four in the UFC while holding the bantamweight belt once more.
