Conor McGregor’s latest tirade on social media appears to have turned ‘Sugar’ Sean O’Malley from an ally to a foe.
Last week, the Irishman slammed superstar boxer Ryan Garcia after it was revealed that he tested positive for the banned substance ostarine in connection to his fight with Devin Haney on April 20.
“Cheated the weight and was juiced, lifetime ban,” McGregor wrote in a since-deleted post after hearing of Garcia’s PED use. “Sad to see, sad to say. Sad and a bit sick. Don’t come near me if I see you ever Ryan Garcia. I am actually disgusted.”

Interestingly, McGregor then turned his attention toward the UFC bantamweight champion. In 2019, O’Malley was slapped with a six-month suspension from the United States Anti-Doping Agency after he tested positive for the same substance that Garcia did.
“This ostarine it reminds me of Sean O’Malley was on that as well,” McGregor’s post continued. “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.”
O’Malley offered a short response online, letting ‘Mystic Mac’ know that if he wants to do some sparring, all he has to do is send the jet.
“Send jet for a quick spar,” O’Malley wrote on X.

Speaking about McGregor’s comment during a recent episode of the TimboSugarShow podcast, Sean O’Malley was shocked by the callout considering his interactions with the Irishman had never been anything, but cordial 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.”

Sean O’Malley Can’t Wait to See Chandler ‘Sleep’ Conor McGregor
After sitting on the shelf for nearly three years, Conor McGregor will return to the Octagon on Saturday, June 29 for a long-awaited clash with former Bellator MMA champion ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler.
Needless to say, ‘Sugar’ knows who he’ll be rooting for in the UFC 303 headliner.
“Now I cannot wait to see Michael Chandler absolutely sleep him,” O’Malley added. “I’m turning up. I’m changing up real quick. F*ck Conor. When your idols turn to rivals.”
