Sean O'Malley believes he is on the verge of becoming the biggest star in all of UFC.

Speaking to ESPN's Andreas Hale, the UFC bantamweight champ explained why he could be ready to eclipse Conor McGregor as the top draw in the promotion:

"I think I'm close [to catching Conor McGregor]. I think Conor still has one more big fight in him, but the big question mark is if he can come back and beat Michael Chandler. I think he has one more huge fight. But if he goes out and loses his next fight, that's like six in a row or something?
