Sean O'Malley labelled a "knock-off wannabe Conor McGregor" by UFC rival

Top UFC bantamweight Sean O'Malley has been told he is a "knock-off wannabe" version of Conor McGregor.

O'Malley, 28, has become one of the UFC's biggest stars since debuting for the promotion in 2017. 'Suga' is expected to meet current bantamweight champion Aljamain Sterling at UFC 292 in August although the title fight is yet to be officially announced by the promotion as Sterling is recovering from a leg and bicep injury.

In his YouTube video titled 'Sean thinks he's the next Conor McGregor but he's not', Sterling hit out at his future opponent by saying: "We just haven’t quite seen this magic knockout from wannabe knock-off McGregor. That was the trajectory that he was on, but for some reason it’s just like people just don’t got the formula or the juice to be Conor.”
