LAS VEGAS – The comparisons to Conor McGregor have been drawn since Sean O'Malley’s emergence onto the international stage in 2017.
From fans to media members to UFC CEO Dana White, many viewers see similarities between the two stars. Much of the discussion has centered around the unique ability of the two fighters to emerge as draws.
O’Malley (18-1 MMA, 10-1 UFC) himself has acknowledged the analogy in the past, but especially so on the cusp of Saturday’s UFC 306 at Sphere (ESPN+). In his estimation, he’s finally within reaching distance of McGregor’s star power.
