Sean O’Malley plays down Conor McGregor UFC run: ‘He had a couple good performances’

Ahead of his own return at Noche UFC this weekend, Sean O’Malley admits that while former two-weight champion, Conor McGregor was something new and innovative on the microphone — only a “couple” of his fights in the Octagon were noteworthy.

O’Malley, the current undisputed bantamweight champion, returns in his sophomore title defense this weekend at the Las Vegas Sphere, taking on surging number one contender, Merab Dvalishvili in the main event of Noche UFC.
