Sean O’Malley reveals he didn’t understand Conor McGregor’s first-ever DMs to him after UFC 292 title win
SEAN O’MALLEY has revealed that he was left baffled by Conor McGregor’s message after his UFC 292 win.
The American pulled off a huge upset on Saturday night when he beat Aljamain Sterling in Boston.
O’Malley won the bantamweight title via a knockout in the second round.
He was congratulated on victory by McGregor, who reached out to him a few days after his win.
O’Malley told Pat McAfee that the 35-year-old slid into his DMs, saying: “‘Baby we did it.’
“And I said: ‘We sure f****** did. You main eventing in December, I’m co-main eventing?’
“All he replied was, ‘shot caller.’
“I don’t know what that means, but I feel like I kinda do so I’m hoping that’s a yes in f****** Irish.”
There is a chance McGregow will return to the UFC octagon at the end of this year with a clash against Micheal Chandler on the table.
O’Malley is a huge fan of the Notorious and previously cited him as one of his idols.

He said: “I’ve watched every single interview he’s ever done. I’ve watched all of his fights, multiple times.
“He’s definitely inspired me a ton. The way he carries himself. The way he handles pressure. The way he goes into these big fights. I’ve learned a lot from him.”
O’Malley has called out Marlon ‘Chito’ Vera for a rematch after he beat him in 2020.
However, the Ecuadorian may not be as keen for a second bout as he said: “I think if you dream or think about something that is behind you, you’re a fool, so I really don’t give a f*** about the guy.”
