Here’s a throwback to when the bantamweight star Sean O’Malley claimed to take out Khabib Nurmagomedov and left Hasbulla for Conor McGregor. 

The Russian UFC celebrities, Khabib Nurmagomedov and Hasbulla Magomedov have a common rival: the former dual-weight champion Conor McGregor.

The rivalry with Nurmagomedov is long-standing. However, the 19-year-old social media celebrity and ‘The Notorious’ recently engaged in a Twitter battle. In addition, the Irishman declared that he desired to spar with Hasbulla.

Even the renowned bantamweight Sean O’Malley is aware of their fledgling rivalry, since it is the buzz of the town.

What did Sean O’Malley say about teaming up with Conor McGregor in a fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Hasbulla?

Sean O’Malley is one of the most prominent names in the bantamweight division of UFC. Due to his charismatic persona and amazing fighting style, ‘Suga’ is often compared to one of the greatest combat sports athletes, Conor McGregor.
