UFC bantamweight champion Sean O'Malley is eyeing a fight against the biggest star in the company.

Per ESPN's Andreas Hale, O'Malley said during an appearance on the Raw Talk podcast that he'd move up from 135 pounds to 155 pounds for a chance to face former two-division champion Conor McGregor.

"Conor's one of the only guys I would fight that I'm like, 'That motherf---er's big,'" O'Malley said. "I would just fight him at 155. First of all, it's a huge payday. Second of all, it's Conor. That would be legendary. So, he's one of the rare guys I would fight that are way out of my weight class.
