Next fight of Sean O'Malley is not determined yet.
UFC American lightweight Beneil Dariush has listed three of the promotion's champions who could win another title in the not-too-distant future.
UFC featherweight champion Ilia Topuria has spoken out about a possible fight with lower division titleholder Sean O'Malley.
"O'Malley is going to have a fight against Dvalishvili. Merab will kick his ass. If not, I'll wait for Sean. There's no point in us fighting now because O'Malley has a challenger that deserves this fight. I honestly think Dvalishvili will beat him.
I've already congratulated O'Malley on his first defense. He said: "Defend your title. If everything goes right, our fight will be the loudest fight in UFC history." That's what we're going for. If he defends his belt, our fight will be the biggest fight in history. If we can make it at the Sanyago Bernabeu, all the better," MMA Fighting quoted Topuria as saying.
Popular American boxer Ryan Garcia claims that he has begun negotiations for a fight with UFC lightweight champion Sean O'Malley.
"We have started negotiations with Sean O'Malley for a boxing fight. And there's another opportunity for me to do a fight in August. The Saudis are going to hold an event in Los Angeles in August, I could fight there with Isaac Cruz," - quotes the words of the boxer Michael Benson.
Recall that last weekend Garcia unexpectedly won by majority decision in a fight with Devin Haney. At the same time Ryan did not get the WBC belt in the first welterweight, as he failed the weigh-in before the fight.
Sean O'Malley, UFC lightweight champion, doesn't rule out that undefeated welterweight Movsar Yevloev could be the next opponent for Aljamain Sterling, the promotion's former featherweight champion.
"Aljo won by a boring decision, so who will be his opponent in the welterweight division now? How about Diego Lopez? Although I think they'll give him Movsar Yevloev," O'Malley said on his YouTube channel.
It's worth noting that Sterling made his debut in the welterweight division on April 14 at the UFC 300th anniversary event, beating Kelvin Kattar by judge's decision. Yevloev had time to react to that win by challenging Aljamain. According to Movsar, he and Sterling, being two grapplers, will show a great fight.

Recall, just on April 21, Ryan Garcia created a sensation, winning by majority decision of judges against the world champion in the first welterweight WBC Devin Haney.
