Sean O'Malley eyes Conor McGregor fight, open to weight class move​

UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Mally is willing to do whatever it takes to land a fight with Conor McGregor in what could be one of the biggest fights in UFC history. O'Malley appeared on Bradley Martyn's "Raw Talk" podcast and revealed that he would move up from 135 pounds to 155 pounds to secure a fight with McGregor. "He's big nowadays," O'Malley said of McGregor's current weight. A former two-division champion, McGregor will return to the Octagon at UFC 303 after a three-year hiatus to face Michael Chandler. The fight will be contested at a catchweight of 165 pounds. It's no secret that O'Malley has idolized McGregor. But now that O'Malley's popularity has skyrocketed to make him one of the UFC's biggest attractions, the idea that his idol could become his rival is certainly tantalizing. Not to mention that O'Malley believes McGregor has become jealous of him.

MMA Roundtable: Title fights, PFL vs. Bellator, and UFC 300​

The next few months will be a fun stretch for fight fans. The UFC has a pay-per-view in Anaheim (UFC 298 on ESPN+) this month and Fight Night cards in Las Vegas and Mexico City. Plus, the clash of PFL and Bellator champions is set to go down in Saudi Arabia on Feb. 24. Bellator, One Championship and UFC all have pay-per-view cards with titles up for grabs in March, and the UFC's milestone 300th pay-per-view -- with a loaded card -- will take center stage in April. But questions abound with such a stacked schedule. Which champions are most at risk of dropping their belt? What fights in the next few months offer the most intrigue? What does Kayla Harrison's transition from PFL to UFC mean going forward?
