McGregor simply shared O’Malley’s claim on his Instagram story with a single laughing emoji. That’s it. No words, no threats, just a digital chuckle. It’s like he was mocking ‘Suga’ for even thinking of such a scenario.
But let’s back up a bit. How did we get here? Well, it all started when McGregor accused O’Malley of being a cheat due to past failed drug tests. O’Malley, maintaining his innocence, claimed tainted supplements were to blame. Since then, it’s been a back-and-forth war of words.
