O'Malley named his next opponent after the fight with Vera

Dmitriy Kel Jan. 12, 2024, 5:15 p.m.

UFC Bantamweight Champion Sean O'Malley said that under certain circumstances in the second half of this year he could fight for the belt in the featherweight division.

“If Topuria beats Volkanovski, and I beat Vera, then I’ll fight Ilia. Whether you guys agree with this or not, I see it very clearly. And that's what the UFC thinks - I'm already potentially a big star.

If Ilya thinks this is an easy fight, then why doesn’t he fight a guy who has a big name, who speaks well, and who is easy to beat?” the American reasoned on his YouTube channel.
