UFC bantamweight Sean O'Malley recently showcased the strength in his arms by throwing the ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game. Fans reacted by jokingly calling upon Conor McGregor to take notes.

A video counting down to his next fight at UFC 276 was recently uploaded to his YouTube channel. O'Malley documented his experience of throwing the ceremonial pitch before a game between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Minnesota Twins.

Before his pitch, he was also seen practicing his batting skills in a cage at Chase Field on June 17, 2022, in Phoenix, Arizona. He also joked about hoping to get a contract to pitch for the Diamondbacks full-time.

Fans took to Twitter, reacting to what was a phenomenal first pitch thrown by 'Sugar'. One user hilariously called upon Conor McGregor to take notes from O'Malley, who he declared had thrown the best ceremonial pitch of all time.

In the tweet, the fan was referring to the time when the Irishman etched his name in the memories of baseball fans all over the world for all the wrong reasons. He arguably threw one of the worst ceremonial pitches at a baseball game for the Chicago Cubs.
