While McGregor and O’Malley have beefed in the recent past,
“Notorious” has seemingly risen above that. Despite having traded
several barbs with “Suga,” the Irishman is now inviting him to
train in Ireland.
O’Malley lost his bantamweight title to Merab
Dvalishvili via a lopsided decision at UFC
306 in September. Currently recovering from a hip surgery he
underwent after UFC 306, O’Malley is rallying for a rematch against
“The Machine” sometime next year. And McGregor believes O’Malley
can regain his title by training with him at the
SBG Ireland headquarters in Dublin, Ireland, under the tutelage
of head coach John
Kavanagh. The former double champ is also ready to set up the
trip for O’Malley and his long-time coach, Tim Welch.
“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, [for] himself and his long time coach, Tim Welch, [to] do a
stint in Ireland,” McGregor wrote in a since-deleted post on X “A
four week run at SBG Ireland under John’s coaching and I am telling
you he would regain his title. He has a shot at regaining it still
for sure, but for himself, and also 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!”

O’Malley’s loss to Dvalishvili ended a seven-fight unbeaten streak
that included four finishes. Meanwhile, McGregor hasn’t competed in
over three years since suffering a broken leg in a trilogy loss
against Dustin
Poirier in 2021.
