McGregor: "I like O'Malley."

Former UFC two-weight champion Conor McGregor spoke about his attitude toward the promotion's lightweight division titleholder Sean O'Malley.

"I like O'Malley... He kind of got under my radar. He also said something like he's going to beat me. It's only in his wildest dreams, but I like Sean. I talked to Sean at a soccer stadium in California and he was influenced by my boxing approach where you pick your own fights.

O'Malley has been good to me and I know I motivated him like many others, so we'll work it out," said the Irishman during the broadcast on Duelbits.

Recall that McGregor will return to the octagon on June 29 in the main event of UFC 303 in Las Vegas, USA. Opposing him will be Sean O'Malley.
