Sean O'Malley, the current UFC bantamweight champion, responded to an attack on him from Ilia Topuria, a contender for the promotion's featherweight championship belt. Topuria stated that no one knows Sean, that his fan base is teenagers, and that he is ready to offer Sean a place in the prelims.
In response, O'Malley offered Topuria a bet of $100,000: the winner is the one whose next fight will collect more PPV.
