“This fight is like a fantasy. If it does take place in the middleweight division, then I think Conor will win. It's hard to predict. Ilya is scary as hell, but he’s not a big fighter,” O’Malley said in the latest episode of his YouTube channel.
Let us remind you that on February 17, in the main event of the UFC 298 tournament in Anaheim, USA, Topuria knocked out Alexander Volkanovski in the second round and became the champion in the up to 65.8 kg category.
As for McGregor, he has not entered the Octagon since July 2021, when he lost to Dustin Poirier by technical knockout.
