Reigning UFC lightweight champion Ilia Topuria recently told Adin Ross that a fight with Sean O’Malley in the past would have been interesting.
However, the 29-year-old feels this bout does make sense now, as everyone knows what will happen if the two clash.
Sean O’Malley also had similar sentiments
At UFC 299, “Suga” called out “El Matador”. During the octagon interview, he said:
“Dana [White], give me a jet to Spain, baby. I’m coming for Ilia Topuria. And if he doesn’t want it. Nah f**k it. I want Ilia, baby, give me Ilia.
