Right now I wouldn’t say he necessarily is. I think there’s a lot more going on behind-the-scenes about Conor than people know, people speculate… I would like to, personally, as a fan, see him come back… You hope, he’s just like, doing okay… He has a big family now, a bunch of kids, and I hope he’s doing well,” O’Malley said on Join The Lobby podcast.

Conor offers to set up Sean’s training camp in Ireland
O’Malley’s kind words did not go unnoticed. Shortly after hearing what “Suga” said, “Notorious” offered to help O’Malley in training. In a now-deleted post on X, McGregor pledged to have O’Malley trained by his longtime coach John Kavanagh in the famous SBG camp in Ireland.
“Sean is a fighting legend! UFC champion and an incredible superstar! I would love, love, love to see, and I can set it up fully, himself and his long time coach, Tim Welch, do a stint in Ireland. A 4 week run at SBG Ireland under Johns coaching and I am telling you he would regain his title,” McGregor wrote. “He has a shot at regaining it still for sure, but for himself and for his coach to spend a good month, to begin with, not a long time, but a good solid month under coach Kav at SBG and they would take heaps of knowledge back with them and onward to regain the Gold. I would love to see it.”
