The recent ongoing heated back and forth between Sean O’Malley and Ilia Topuria gained a lot of attention from the fans. Not only this, but Topuria has come up with another comical dig freshly directed towards ‘Suga’ and Conor McGregor.
Topuria recently took to the platform X (FKA Twitter) and shared a controversial tweet involving the Irishman and O’Malley. He expressed that he saw a dream in which McGregor and Sean O’Malley were having a baby together. This came after ‘Sugar’ challenged Topuria for a PPV bet and the ‘El Matador’ clapped back at him by referring to himself as ‘the PPV king”.
As confusing as this tweet might look, Topuria then asked his fans about who they think is the mother among the two. With the tweet he referred to both O’Malley and ‘Mystic Mac’ as the couple. He wrote,
“I just had a dream…Conor and Omaly were having a baby! Who do you think was the mom?”
