Sean O'Malley Vouches For Conor McGregor vs. Charles Oliveira: "I'm All For It"
Amid rumors surrounding Conor McGregor's next fight, Sean O'Malley has one opponent he'd like to see the "Notorious" one face.
McGregor and Michael Chandler are opposing coaches on season 31 of "The Ultimate Fighter." UFC President Dana White has told reporters that he was hoping to book McGregor vs. Chandler before the year is over.
With the deadline for McGregor to re-enter the USADA testing in order to fight this year imminent, many have speculated about "Mystic Mac's" future. Some don't believe McGregor vs. Chandler will ever take place, others feel the former two-division UFC champion will never compete in a pro MMA bout again. This is despite McGregor's claim that he will "never retire."

One big rumor floating around social media is the claim that McGregor is no longer interested in fighting Chandler. Oliveira took to his Twitter account to respond to the rumor, and it's quite clear that he wants to mix it up with the Irishman.

During an episode of the "BrOMalley Show," O'Malley shared his thoughts on a potential clash between McGregor and "do Bronx."
"I'm all for it," O'Malley said. "I am all for it. I will watch Conor fight pretty much anyone."
With that said, O'Malley admits he still wants to see the Chandler fight take place.
"Conor vs. Chandler, too, don't get me wrong that's a f*cking sweet fight," O'Malley said.
Oliveira is fresh off a first-round TKO finish over Beneil Dariush. O'Malley revealed what surprised him about the matchup at UFC 289.
"Charles gets dropped a lot," O'Malley said. "Beneil didn't drop him, which was kind of surprising. Charles gets dropped every fight. God, I don't know. That fight gets me excited. I would love to see it, I would love to see any of them."
