Topuria commented on O'Malley's desire to fight him
Ilia Topuria, a contender for the UFC featherweight champion belt, spoke about a possible fight with the current champion of the organization in the bantamweight division Sean O'Malley.
“Look, O’Malley has a lot to prove in his weight class. He's fighting a #6 ranked guy who's been kicking his ass. I don’t think he will defeat Vera. "Chito" will beat O'Malley. But even if O’Malley wins, he will have a lot to prove,” the fighter said.
On February 17, Topuria will fight with UFC featherweight champion Alex Volkanovski. Their confrontation will headline the promotion's 298th tournament.
