Remember when Conor McGregor was the undisputed king of the UFC? Those were the days. The Irish fighter had everyone eating out of his hand with his quick wit and even quicker knockouts. But times, they are changing. Legends rise, fall, and sometimes get a reality check from their peers.
Chael Sonnen, the self-proclaimed “Bad Guy” of MMA. He’s never been one to mince words, and he had some zingers for McGregor. According to Chael, McGregor’s no longer the biggest star in the sport.
“O’Malley is the biggest star in our sport right now. And Red Panty Night is still real. Conor’s not in the sport, he’s not even licensed. Conor could not walk in and fight tonight if he wanted to. I’m just sharing with you, who’s in the sport, it’s one of those things,” said Sonnen via Beyond The Fight podcast.
Sonnen believes the “Suga” is now the main attraction in town. He didn’t pull any punches in his assessment and pointed out that Conor’s been out of the game for a while now. No license, no fights, just a lot of social media noise.
But let’s be real for a second. Is Sonnen onto something here? Sean O’Malley’s star has been rising fast. He’s got the skills, the look, and that “it” factor that makes fans go wild. Meanwhile, McGregor’s been more active on Twitter than in the Octagon lately.
