Sean O'Malley Is DELUSIONAL About His Star Power? He Will Never Be On McGregor's Level?

Sean O'Malley recently said that he will be as big as Conor McGregor when it comes to selling PPV and being a star in the UFC, this is my reaction to his trash talk and star power seeing if he will ever be a draw, let me know what you guys think in the comments section down below.

It's weird now but I feel like we actually as fans got comfortable with the idea of a million PPV sales when McGregor was around and were hoping that someone else eventually would hit that level. Once all these current 34 year old stars are gone and retired O'Malley will be the face of the UFC. I think he needs to be more composed and savage in his words on the mic, and save the goofiness for online and before fight week. If this over stacked 299 PPV doesn't sell, idk what will.

A lot of McGregor’s early stardom was because of the rabid Irish backing he had prior to the ufc, and the accumulation of the core ufc viewer base slowly getting behind him with each dominant exciting win. But one thing people don’t normally talk about is how lots of his early promotion was from KZbin/Facebook/Twitter trash talk/KOs compilations in like 2013-2015. This is how mine and my brothers friends all started to know about him. What really got his name out there wasn’t mainstream media interviews on morning tv or something, or even necessarily his fights, not live and as they happened anyway, but the compilations of him either laying people out or being hilarious and entertaining. The antics on TUF, the relentless trolling of Aldo, the stare-downs, the octagon speeches, the poirier win, the siver win, the predictions, the look, the dress sense, the press conferences, etc. It all came together.

[@liamweinberg4902]

I believe the weight class is a factor as well. Conor fighting at 155 and 170 made him more relatable to the general public. At 135 pounds, which was almost the lowest weight class, there were considerations about removing the flyweight division not too long ago. And, Conor possesses extraordinary charisma that is innate to him. Despite not having fought in 3 years, everyone readily accepts that he is the biggest star in MMA, and it's not even close. That is quite remarkable if you think about it.

[@MightyMarven]

What about Ilia topuria? If he defeats Volk he is gonna talk more trash and be more confident, he has a lot to say, he is young but needs to improve his english or use his accent to his favor (sorry for my bad english, i speak spanish and i have been watching all Topuria interviews, i can assure he is gonna win, he believes in himself like no one else in the company and is a hard worker, kinda like when Mcgregor was hungry and predicting all his fights, basically manifesting)

[@danielh5980]

Nobody will ever be as big as McGregor was, he transcended the sport but omalley for sure can be one of the most entertaining fighters based on his performances, but hes not gonna get that superstar level like a conor mayweather or mike tyson because they were just as entertaining outside the fights

[@Noisycowonline]

The issue is that nowadays people can't be real, except online or behind somebody's back. I mean, nowadays everybody is beautiful or sexy & every kid is a winner that gets a trophy. So when Sean says he's a star, mma media concurr & spread the word. U hear Rogan, DC, etc say "This kid is a star", but is he though, in the way that matters? Followers & subs on the socials don't necessarily equate to stardom in the mma/boxing industry. Look at Jake's very high numbers on the socials relative to his PPV sales, it's tragic. A sub or a follow is free & takes a sec, but to be a superstar u need large numbers of people willing to dedicate their time & money to u.

I don’t think Sean O’Malley understand that Conor had a lot of European fans + the American fans and the rest of the world. Sean got a lot of American fans and not many European fans or from other countries.

[@teamshox]

You’re right. I don’t know anyone who likes him who is not American. He’s more of a poster boy of American clown and all the weird things that go on there.

[@TheBullyDisciple]

All he has to do is keep winning and keep being insufferable. Eventually everybody will be hate watching, his style and look helps that aswell.

[@serendipitouscomet]

The problem with Sean O’Malley is that he has zero personality. Conor McGregor didn’t need the crazy hair or face tattoos. In reality, Sean O’Malley is a soft spoken introvert.

[@chrisabreu5589]

Great coverage, man. I think you’re spot on. Sean is missing the most monumental part of becoming a star in this sport. Maybe he needs to shotgun a happy dad before getting on the mic

[@crazestats]

Bro you heavily undervalued the fact that in Conor’s age literally nearly no one used to know the illegal stream possibility. In todays age it became so common, and especially younger fans like the ones O’Malley more has even young adults all know how to illegally stream. So yeah he can be better on the mentioned points but the bigger factor is that times just has changed.

[@ordinaryopinion4081]

Conor became a worldwide household name

[@szczypi0rek]

Besides knocking people out, charisma, trash talk, people don't realize how much Conor's good looks was important. Photogenic face, great shoulders to waist ratio, nice outfit all the time. Like it or not, that's what sells. Look CR7 vs Messi. Leo is a better player but CR is more popular because of his image that he sells.

[@HistoryBypass]

[@claudemaggard7162]

[@BiggieTrismegistus]

I just noticed that too. I agree that O'Malley shouldn't talk much beyond just saying he's going to knock people out. He's a deadly sniper in the cage and should act like one out of it. I cringe through all his talk but still watch with anticipation because I know there's a good chance he's going to chin his opponent.

Connor was a bigger star than O'malley is now before he even won his first belt. I know a few guys that only ordered one ufc ppv: aldo v McGregor. None of them have any idea who Sean O'malley is.

[@closinginonclosure]

He'll never be Conor level. It wasn't just Conor's trash talk on top of his fights that made him the biggest. It was his personality, unwavering confidence in himself and way he spoke things into existence, charisma, humor, mystique, and much more. Many people were captivated by Conor before even seeing him fight. Conor resonated with people from non MMA fans to the most hardcore fans. My grandfather asked me if I knew about the "Irish fighter, McGregor" before Conor even fought Aldo, and my grandfather has never followed any combat sports. My parents know who Conor is. Everyone does. Sean doesn't have the right ingredients to captive the masses. He's a good fighter but that alone isn't enough to be bigger than Conor. It's fitting that Sean is partnered with Nelk because that's essentially what his demo is outside of hardcore fight fans. Younger people and mainly 20s to early 30s will see Nelk as cool, but a large chunk of the population outside of that don't watch or care about the Nelk boys. That's basically Sean's demographics too, and he doesn't possess the appeal to reach too far outside of that. That's why he'll never be bigger than Conor, or even as big as him.🎉

[@mikerhem1273]

Lol I Remember watching that man recapture the live crowed twice.. First it was the nate diaz fight, then the fight were dusting broke that leg.
