O'Malley sees no point in fighting Nurmagomedov

Sean O'Malley, UFC lightweight champion, has spoken out about a possible fight with Umar Nurmagomedov.

"People keep saying I'm avoiding fights that are difficult for me. But then why was I talking about Umar? The problem is that Umar is not a star at all right now, he certainly has the potential to become one, if only because of his last name, but it takes time. And I need big fights, I'm ready to fight superstars. So right now for me in a fight with Umar makes no sense," said Sean O'Malley in an interview with YouTube channel The Pat McAfee Show.

Recall, earlier O'Malley challenged UFC featherweight champion Elijah Topuria.
