On February 17, the Spaniard knocked out Alexander Volkanovski and won the belt in the welterweight category.
"It was a great performance. I was there in the arena, it was a cool moment. Elijah is a dangerous little dude. A bout with him excites me. I would definitely like to get that fight one day.
Yeah, I'd move up to welterweight for that. But I'm gonna be in the lightweight division for the next couple years. If I do move up to welterweight, it's just to get a quick knockout and then go back down to lightweight," Lowkick MMA quoted O'Malley as saying.
